Weekly Rundown (12.13.09)

  • Preaching about the Cross can never get old because understanding & applying the Cross is as essential as breathing!!
  • Great to celebrate baptism today.
  • Spent some time planning our missions giving for 2010.  I am pumped about all the ways we as a church will be able to support God’s causes –
    • Lots of various efforts in NW Georgia:
      • Crisis pregnancy; food & clothing assistance; benevolences; homelessness
    • A medical missionary to Kenya.
    • Missionary in the Middle East.
    • Efforts to relieve world hunger.
    • Church plants in 3 different states (Georgia, Tennesse, and Florida).
  • God blew me away on Friday with an amazing conversation about His radical, unfailing love and then a big, breakthrough about getting our 3rd site up and rolling in Chatsworth … stuff I’ve been praying over for months, starting to materialize as God’s faithfulness and perfect timing bears fruit for His glory!!
  • Great meeting with new Calhoun Elders … great to be able to expand the local leadership efforts at that Campus.
  • Beginning some cool discussions about how to better mobilize our church to serve.
  • Prayer requests:
    • Direction and guidance about foreign missions.  The opportunities are endless and all very good … seeking THE opportunity God prepared long ago for us to walk in — Ephesians 2:10.
    • 2010 opportunities in NW Georgia: 3rd site in Chatsworth, 3rd service (Thursday night), and “building favor” in Calhoun.
    • Sermon and worship planning for 2010.
  • HAVE A GREAT WEEK :)
