When it comes to our church and where we are headed…I am PUMPED about the following things that are heading our way…WARNING…reading the following MAY FIRE YOU UP…AND SHOULD ALTER YOUR PRAYER LIFE!!!
#1 - THIS COMING SUNDAY! Our Christmas services at NewSpring Church. We are seriously going all out to share the Gospel in an unforgettable manner. God isn’t boring…church shouldn’t be either…and I can promise it won’t be this weekend.
(Get your FREE TICKETS HERE!!!)
#2 - Sunday, December 28th - we are going to be doing our “year in review” service in a “different” way. God has done some amazing things this year…and it is my prayer that IF you are in town…then you WILL be at church. It COULD be one of the most powerful services we’ve had this year!
#3 - The beginning of our new series entitled, “No Perfect People Allowed” beginning on Sunday, January 4th.
#4 - The official launching of our Florence campus on Sunday, January 11th. We will begin meeting every week on this Sunday…can’t wait! (Just in case you didn’t read the Sunday Night Reflections…they baptized eight people yesterday…WOW…and that’s just from meeting every other week and watching videos of messages I preached in 2007!!!)
#5 - We are going through the entire Sermon on the Mount in January through May...and it’s going to STRETCH us as a church. There will be five separate series included in our journey through the most amazing sermon ever!!!
#6 - Greenville campus adding a Sunday night service. Seriously, yesterday we had our 2nd highest attendance ever at that campus…and it was DECEMBER 14th!!! WOW! Our staff over there is READY to begin a third service sometime in the first quarter of next year…so, Greenville peeps, KEEP ON INVITING YOUR FRIENDS!!!
#7 - The launching of our internet campus! We are cranking this thing up in February and are PUMPED about using technology to reach the world for Christ.
#8 - The launching of our Columbia campus! We don’t know when…we don’t know how…we just know God said to go—and so we are going! Seriously…I am giddy with excitement about this…let us know if you are interested!
#9 - The opening of our brand new youth facility on our Anderson campus! Right now it looks like it is going to open on Super Bowl Sunday night!!! It seats 1,000…and I think we may have built it TOO SMALL! God is doing something INCREDIBLE right now in the lives of our teenagers!!!
#10 - The opening of our children’s facility the first weekend in March on our Anderson campus. Folks…this facility is amazing, and on March 1st…it’s ON!!!
(For the record…I believe the GREATEST MISSION FIELD that exist in the United States is youth and children’s ministry! Churches MUST invest time and money in these areas if we want to change the world…more on this another time.)
#11 - I’m going with a team of people on a mission trip to Kenya! I will be there for 10 days in February to see what project our church is going to take on as its own. Right now it looks like we are going to be sending teams over to dig wells, build schools and tell people about Jesus! I didn’t want to partner with an organization that wants us to just write them a check…I wanted something we could all be involved with.
I will be talking about this a lot more in the future…put your seat belt on!!! This is something that ALL of our campuses will partner with…TOGETHER. WHAT IF God wanted to use NewSpring Church to win the whole nation of Kenya to Christ? Seriously, with a God as huge as ours…why should we stop with just one village?
#12 - The UNKNOWN!!! These are the things I know God is wanting to do…but what REALLY pumps me up is all that God is going to do that, if He were to tell me now, would BLOW MY MIND! Ephesians 3:20 continues to come true!
NewSpringers…hold on to your fork…the best is yet to come!!!
