- Not even sure where to begin when it comes to this past weekend and tonight at Revolution
- Last night we did the stations of the cross
- Such a powerful spiritual practice
- Really brought this weekend into focus
- I loved the part where I wrote down what Jesus’ death and resurrection freed me from and nailing it to the cross
- Love the feeling of freedom I have because of grace
- Tonight was by far, the greatest night in the history of Revolution
- Even as I sit here writing, I’m not sure how to put into words what God did tonight
- We had our highest attendance ever at Revolution
- And we had 6 people accept Jesus tonight
- That never gets old
- Got to explain the Feast of Booths tonight, definitely an interesting way to come at the question, “How do you handle life when it seems out of control?”
- Paul nailed the Lifehouse song “Storm“
- Totally pulled the service together
- If you missed tonight, you can listen to it here
- After the service, we had a huge BBQ
- There were 4 grills going and so much food
- I was blown away by how great everything ran and how cool everything looked
- Christe LePeau, Amy Putnam and Sarah LaBelle did an amazing job pulling everything off
- Every week, I am amazed at our volunteers and team at Revolution
- Everyone works so hard, doesn’t complain in making Revolution happen
- As a pastor, I am so grateful for the team we have as it allows me to do what I do
- Reading two fascinating books right now: Linchpin and Lectures to my Students
- We finalized the preaching calendar through the end of the summer
- So excited about the topics we’ll be covering at Revolution this summer
- This week I discovered Iron & Wine
- So, so good
- Everything that could seem to go wrong leading up to tonight did
- On Friday, my computer died. Wouldn’t turn back on.
- One of our elders went and got me a new one, loaded everything on it that I needed and I’m typing it on it now
- Like I said, the team at Revolution is top notch
- When I told him he didn’t need to do that, his response was, “You have enough to worry about this weekend, I’ll do that, you do what you do”
- Unbelievable
- This morning, our website went down
- Not cool
- But we were able to get it worked out and back up in record time
- Grateful for the tech guys in our church
- Just got a text from another elder from Revolution who checks up on me on Saturdays to see how I’m doing
- Love hearing that people are praying for me after pouring out through preaching
- I can’t say this enough to church planters, who you put around you makes all the difference
- This week we officially registered Ava for kindergarten
- Hard to believe she is old enough for that
- Paul taught “Rain it down” tonight
- Love that song
- That and Tomlin’s song “Our God” are getting a lot of play at our house (and at Revolution)
- If you missed them, here are the top posts from the month of March
- This week, Katie and I will celebrate 8 years of marriage
- I still can’t believe she said yes
- Not sure what she was thinking
- But I’m grateful she said yes
- I am more in love with her today than ever
- And she continues to get more and more beautiful
- Next week I get to talk about one of my favorite topics: whether or not prayer works
- You don’t want to miss it
- If you brought someone tonight, be sure to personally invite them back
- It will make a huge difference to them
- I’m out
