you know, if you missed being with us at north point sunday, you missed a really cool day. here are a few highlights:
i got up sunday morning and just didn’t feel like we were going to have a full house. i know i’ve been whining a little about how much i struggle with our loss of momentum during the holidays, but this year has been different.
it was a day that broke the trend…again. great crowds in both hours.
the energy in our singing was awesome. there are some sundays where the singing seems a little hollow. this was definitely not one of those days.
met some new folks. it never ceases to amaze me that we get new people every sunday. every sunday.
i really hope we are doing a good job making new people feel like they want to come back.
we have worked hard to become a church family that is full of potential friends…and not just people who try to be friendly. there’s a huge difference.
can’t believe i actually gave my personal new year’s goals. now you know what i’m working on.
i would love to hear from some of you. what are some of yours?
i feel like we’ve gotten very predictable in what we do on sunday mornings. two songs. sermon. communion. four songs. i’m all for the comfort and security that routine can bring…especially in a world of such dramatic change, but i don’t think it’s necessary on sunday mornings.
i love variety. i love unpredictable. i love surprise. i love the excitement and anticipation that comes from not ever knowing for sure what is going to happen next. i embrace change like it’s my best friend. i know that’s not everybody’s style, but it’s mine.
we serve a spontaneous and unconfined god who never ceases to amaze us with his movement in our lives. we work so hard to keep god in boxes, but it just doesn’t work.
they tried to keep jesus in the grave. you know how that worked out.
be looking for some changes. expect the unexpected. be ready to ask god to shake your world. maybe he’ll even do it on a sunday morning!
