This Weekend & Are You STUCK In Life?

Jan 31, 2008

OK everyone—don’t forget that for this weekend only we moved our Sunday night services to Saturday night. So…what does that mean? Simple…

  • This Saturday - 5:00pm and 6:45pm
  • This Sunday - 9:15am and 11:15 am
  • This Sunday Night - NO PM SERVICES! Why? The Super Bowl commercials, of course!

We will go back to our normal Sunday services the following week as we will deal with being stuck in life…

One of the most miserable times of my life was back in 2005 when I nearly died from some surgical complications. Get this—the worse part WASN’T the hospital. It WASN’T the hospital food! It WASN’T the dude who came in at 5:00 AM to get blood from me when I was PERFECTLY ASLEEP! (Really, I’m not bitter!)

The worse part about the whole thing was when I came home and had to sit around the house and…do…NOTHING! I could not drive. I could not go to the office. I could not go for a run. I could not go and workout. I was under strict doctors orders to take it easy…and ‘Cretia was making sure I didn’t do a thing I wasn’t supposed to.

I WANTED TO SCREAM…I felt hopeless, like I was wasting time…I FELT STUCK! I knew there was so much more to life than sitting around in my boxers and playing PSII (for some of you single guys—read that again—seriously) and I wanted to get OUT of the condition I was IN!

I meet so many people who feel the same in regards to their life as I felt about during that time…they feel that they are STUCK, like they KNOW there is SOMETHING they should be doing in life—they know that the life they are living is NOT the life they always dreamed about—yet they have no idea as to what to do about it. They feel sort of helpless—like they are STUCK!

Starting next weekend (February 10) we are beginning a brand new series here at NewSpring Church entitled, “Stuck.” I believe, according to John 10:10 and Jeremiah 29:11 (and hundreds of other passages in Scripture) that Jesus didn’t create us to be STUCK.

We all have a God given purpose, a divine calling…and Paul said in Acts 17:26-27 that God actually the time that we are on the earth so that we might actually find Him and His calling for our lives…in other words, you and I were born with God given potential…and many of us are not that far away from living the life we were created to live.

I am so excited about this new series—trust me, it will be one worth getting your friends to attend with you. I am praying that God will seriously disturb us in the series…and as a result HIS kingdom will forcefully advance because many of us FINALLY embrace the life He designed us for!

Oh yeah…this WEEKEND is going to be amazing too!!!
