Right now I am looking out the balcony at the beach & trying to figure out whether I want to rent a wave runner OR go para-sailing.
Decisions, decisions…
BUT…that isn’t the reason for this post. I wanted to just put a note out there and say that I am REALLY excited about this Sunday. Why?
Well…
It’s my first Father’s Day as a father. No, Charisse isn’t technically here yet…but just the fact that she will be soon has caused me to think about the biblical role of a husband and a father a lot.
SO…this Sunday I will be delivering a message that i have been putting together since December. It’s going to be very simple, “Seven Things I Want To Say To Charisse.”
Usually we go through a pretty extensive creative process for message preparation…but not this week. The Lord has been shaping this one in me for months…and I can’t wait.
This will be an awesome Sunday to get someone to church…I promise…it is going to be incredible. This message, even though directed at Charisse, is going to have something for…
- Singles! (Trust me—this is going to be a talk that a single is either going to LOVE or HATE…there will be no middle ground.)
- Father’s to be (as am I!)
- Dads (DUH…it’s Father’s Day!)
- Women (Yes ladies, I am quite sure this is one you will download for your husband and put on his I-pod.) AND…if he doesn’t have an I-pod…now that would be an awesome Father’s Day gift!!!
- Teenagers (I think MOST of them are single…but I didn’t want to leave them out!)
- Non-Christians!!! (The Gospel WILL be presented in a way at the end of the service that I am sure most of us have never seen.)
SO…if you know someone who needs Christ…or who has a marriage that is on the rocks…or who is chasing dollars and leaving his family behind—GET THEM TO NEWSPRING THIS SUNDAY!!!
One more thing…the band did a song down here at the beach last night that absolutely ROCKED…they will be opening the service with it on Sunday. My advice…bring a seatbelt…you just might fly out of the place if you don’t have one!!!
