Sunday Night Reflections

Aug 24, 2008

WOW!  That’s really all I can say!

OK, I lied…I can say more!  (Hey, I’m a preacher, back off!)  Here are a few thoughts from the day…

  • “Amazing” does not describe what happened today!  Louie Giglio spoke (via video) and it was, hands down, one of the most powerful Sunday’s EVER in the history of NewSpring Church!
  • We were 150 people away from 10,000 people today…there were around 200 people sitting in the lobby at 11:15 at our Anderson campus because the sanctuary was FULL.
  • Honestly, I think today was a great warm up for what we are going to see the Lord do next week!  Trust me on this one!
  • We had several people receive Christ today!
  • I made the announcement today that we are starting a 4th service on the Anderson campus in two weeks!  We’ve GOT TO!
  • And when we do…we are going to need several of you to COMMIT to attending that service!  We will announce the new time this week!
  • We thought that when we started the Greenville campus that we would have more room in Anderson…but the attendance actually INCREASED…which blew our minds.
  • Greenville campus had over 1,600 people today…amazing!
  • I feel like this fall is going to be one of the most amazing seasons of ministry we’ve ever seen here at NewSpring Church…GREAT THINGS are in store.
  • It was awesome to have Reggie Joyner and his wife with us all day today…our leadership team has a meeting with him in the morning so that we can pick his brain on leadership & such…can’t wait!
  • I love our church!  I seriously love our church!
  • I am in awe that God is allowing me to be a part of this!
  • There are still TONS of people in Anderson, Greenville and Florence…AND the surrounding areas that need Christ…let’s do all we can to reach out to them!!!

And finally!  Please be patient with us over the next few weeks as we try our best to accommodate the record crowds of people that are showing up to our services.

Parking will be crazy!

Children’s check in will be crazy!

Getting seated will be crazy!

BUT…while all of this is going on please keep in mind…this is CHURCH!  AMAZING!  Who would have thought the things above would ever be associated with church?  A football game or a special event, yes….but CHURCH!

We’re seeing Matthew 16:18 fulfilled!

I told you in ONE PRAYER that we need to hold onto our fork because the best is yet to come…and I believe God is JUST GETTING STARTED!!!  YESSSSSSSS!

Dang it…now I’m pumped up…I hope I can sleep!
