A few thoughts on the day…
- We had a total of NINE SERVICES…four in Anderson, three in Greenville and two in Florence with over 10k people at church again this weekend. AMAZING!
- GREAT ATTENDANCE at our two new services…the 4:15 in Anderson & 6:00 in Greenville…THANK YOU NEWSPRING for stepping up.
- Saw around 75 decisions for Christ today…that NEVER gets old.
- Alden Ellis received the offer to become the campus pastor of NewSpring in Columbia this week! I LOVE THIS GUY…had the privilege of baptizing him…can’t wait to see what happens as God uses him. AND…he’s a Gamecock fan!!!
- Today’s sermon was a completely “feel good” message…we dealt with the wrath of God, being hated for loving Jesus and greedy Christians…you know, that kind of stuff!
- Got a text today about a guy who brought someone to NewSpring for the first time…and he accepted Christ. I LOVE IT!
- I will have to honestly say that I believe that today’s message was one of THE most uncomfortable talks I’ve ever delivered in our church…BUT…
- As followers of Jesus we MUST allow Him to place us in uncomfortable situations. After all…HE allowed Himself to be uncomfortable in order for us to have peace!
- The fact that there is a hell and people really go there who do not know Christ BOTHERS ME; in fact, it should bother us all to the point to where we DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!
- Saying that…next Sunday we need to do all that we can to get people to church…trust me! It’s going to be one of those messages where we want our lost friends to be here!
- I will be sharing more details about Kenya at this site as things develop. Right now I am excited out of my mind at the possibilities that are shaping up.
- We’ve got two more weeks in this series…and I honestly believe they might be the most unforgettable weeks ever!
- Our next series is a four week, hard hitting series on marriage entitled iwantanewmarriage.com Can’t wait!!!
- Our all staff meeting this past Thursday MIGHT have been the best one we’ve ever had…seriously!
- Unleash is getting closer and closer…are you signed up yet? It’s one day…it’s cheap…and you need to be there!
- Marathon training is going well…ran 10 miles on Friday, was 15 degrees outside…and when I got back the collar on my shirt was frozen…yes, I am a freak!
- The Arizona Cardinals going to the Super Bowl MIGHT be the last prophecy in Scripture that needs to take place before Jesus comes back! SERIOUSLY…DID THAT JUST HAPPEN?
- There is MORE potential for us in today’s world to spread the Gospel that ever before…we need to be ALL OVER IT!
- NewSpring…the best is yet to come!
