Father’s Day

Jun 14, 2007

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!!!
