Christmas Eve Reflections

Dec 24, 2009

What an amazing couple of days…

  • We saw around 120 people walk forward and surrender their lives to Christ over the past few days!!!
  • My family and I went to Outback tonight after the last message and a waitress came up to our table and told us that she brought 19 people to our 4:00 service in Anderson last night…and SIX of them received Christ!!!
  • (And yes, I did get a Chocolate Thunder from Down Under!!!)
  • I thought the music was OUT OF THIS WORLD…so thankful for our worship leaders at every campus!!!
  • We took a look at the Parable of the Lost Son in Luke 15:11-24 during the message portion of the service…THAT story ALWAYS gets me because, well, it’s my story!
  • Has there ever been a time in your life that you were closer to God than you are right now?  If so…COME HOME!!!
  • Christmas time is a reminder that God RAN to us…He came here so we could come home!!!
  • The poem that was played right before I spoke MESSED ME UP every time.  (I will post it tomorrow if you would like to see it again!)
  • BTW…for those who were @ the service…the story about me cutting out desserts IS NOT present reality…bring on the cake!!!
  • I registered for the Music City Marathon in “Nash-Vegas” today…my last attempt didn’t go so well…and I’ve GOT to cross this off of my “to do before seeing Jesus face to face” list!
  • I think it’s kind of funny that I did a bullet point about eating dessert…and then the one right after it was about running a marathon.  Yep…I’m weird!

That’s about it…it’s been a great couple of days…scratch that, it’s been an awesome year!!!  Remember NewSpring Church…no church this Sunday, but we will crank it back up on Sunday, January 3rd at EVERY campus with our normal service times.

Have an awesome Christmas!!!
