- We’re into the Losing My Religion series. I’ve been thinking and praying about this series for a LONG time.
- The message I preached the day RBCC began was titled, “The Trouble With Religion.”
- I’m convinced that “religion” is keeping more people from God and out of heaven than drugs, alcohol, and sex combined!!
- Let’s celebrate freedom in Christ this series! Great series to invite a friend.
- Went to see Georgia play yesterday against Tennessee Tech. Several local boys playing at Tech. Fun day!
- I saw my first ever Cheerleading competition yesterday … WOW! Intense and exciting. Congrats to Northwest and Dalton High Schools for making it to state sectionals!!
- Great all-staff meeting this week with Brad Leeper sharing thoughts on how to be a “great” staff. Some takeaways:
- Staffs must risk together, have fun together, and create “stories” together.
- Bad staffs make their specialty (i.e.-music, children, students) MORE important than the church’s mission. (That’s good!!)
- Staff members must constantly learn to grow and develop. Must be curious, read, ask questions, and never stop growing.
- Staff members must be flexible in their roles … jobs will change as the church changes.
- First Wednesday was amazing again. Both campuses experienced God’s presence in powerful ways!
- This service literally “sets the temperature” for our church for the whole month … prayer, worship, & communion TOGETHER is powerful and desired by God … He shows up when we seek Him as ONE!!
- Navy beat Notre Dame!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
