Why am I excited about this Sunday?

I am looking forward to sharing a different type of message with you than the norm. I am also looking forward to one of our THRIVE couples sharing their story of overcoming addiction, financial crisis and overwhelming pain…. I am glad we are taking the time to discover what the Bible says about applying Wisdom to our lives.  Here’s why I think this Sunday COUNTS!

* As it happens every week – many of you will bring your friends that are far from God!  This could be the Sunday that they take a significant step toward Christ. That alone is enough to open our doors and do everything we can to clear the path. If you are wondering why we started Thrive – this is IT!!

* People will find connection! All over Thrive I see new friendships starting to form…when we are connected our faith naturally grows….that is an amazing thing…

* We are doing Child dedications during both services…why do we do this?  We want to celebrate families that are committing to raise their son or daughter up in the truth from God’s word..

* People will have an opportunity to worship the God of the Universe….it’s easy to worship money, entertainment and stuff…but where does it lead?…worshiping GOD brings us closer to His heart and helps calibrate our hearts as we head into the week…

* It’s another day to discover that God is alive -and He wants us to enjoy life to the fullest!  We can laugh – enjoy our families and grow closer to Him…and that is in spite of where we have been and all the things we have done….it’s called GRACE…

See you Sunday
