Each Monday morning I will download most of my thoughts about the Sunday evening service. This will be an exercise in transparency, but it will also be my attempt to flesh out the message from the night before and to quite simply count my blessings. So here goes:
*Great first night!
*I wasn't as nervous as I have been in the past. God gave me a peace and I found my confidence in Him. Its a learning process, but trusting Him is so much better than trusting ourselves.
*Having Misty in there with me is a blessing beyond my words to express it. My heart still beats faster when I see her.
*Last night reminded me about how much I love Tree of Life. Standing around afterwards and hanging out with people was very cool.
*Joe brought me a coffee from Starbucks. When he told me that cream and sugar was in the kitchen I replied, "I think I'm gonna drink this one black." Joe's response? "Yeah, that makes a huge difference when you're drinkin' decaf...." You are hilarious Joe. Hilarious.
*David was a blessing leading worship with us. He had a long day and I appreciate his faithfulness.
*Donovan and his worship team starts this Sunday and I am EXCITED!!!
*Matt used John 4 to teach on worship last year some time in CrossOver and it was really good. Its amazing how many messages the Lord can bring out of one passage.
*I mentioned snakes in my message so Lindsey told a story afterwards about Donovan pronouncing dominion over a snake before he killed it. The fact that he was serious makes the story even greater to me.
*I re-read John 4 last night and the Lord brought something else out of it. By inviting people to church, we allow them to hear the Word of God for themselves. Like the Samaritans who said, "Now that we have heard it for ourselves, we believe that Jesus is the savior of the world."
*I'm back to digging into the Amazing Race message.
