Week 2 of CHANGE launch month ... WIN!!
It started at the weekly 7pm leaders meeting with Joel and Amy giving a final download to the team from their 10 years of service to CHANGE, (we will let them claim 10 years even though we know it's really 9 years and 2 services). What a mixed emotion moment, it was so good to celebrate their deep commitment, consistency and leadership but they will be greatly missed at the Change service.
They are not leaving to go traveling or moving churches but they have been asked to bring focus to Sunday night church, so they will still be around. Make sure you pick their brains and seek their advice and wisdom.
Then we had double K's - Danny K and JK. What a combo, what a night! Worship was crackling and what a preach - Four points of Faith. Here's a snippet of the message.
Job 19:26
After my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God;
2 Corinthians 5:7
We live by faith, not by sight
1) Jesus sees us - we need to rest in the fact he sees us.
2) Faith sees God - Moses turned down inheriting the wealth of Egypt because he saw God.
3) Faith sees beyond our circumstance.
4) Faith sees the potential in others - Lets take the challenge set out in 2 Corinthians 5:16
"So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer."
Remember - Though our feelings come and go the love of God never wavers and Live each week as though it's shark week.
Love Love
