WEEKEND UPDATE (092610)

Great day at Crossroads Sunday!!  We finished up our series "Healthy Habits" with two awesome services.  My prayer is that you really got something you can use for your life over the last three weeks.  I'll tell you this:  If God messed with your world half as much as He did mine during this series, you are CHANGED!!  Thanks to all who made this series rock!  Here's just a few things rattling around in my brain this morning:

  • Lots of first and second time attenders Sunday and MANY people indicated that they were renewing their comittment to Christ!!

  • MANY more people indicated they wanted to go public with their faith through Baptism next Sunday!!  Can't wait!

  • Caleb did a GREAT job leading worship on Sunday while Nic & Janna were out!

  • I was suffering from a MAN COLD on Sunday and I felt horrible.

  • We had some good laughs about it though, and LAUGHING always makes me feel better.
  • Healthy snack choices in the lobby were great.  But I didn't act fast enough to get an apple.  More stuff next week.
  • Crossroads U video was ridiculously funny.  Funnier still: My daughter was sitting next to some young people who had never seen the SNL Spartan cheerleaders sketch, and so had no point of reference.  I think the video just left them having some concerns about Matt and Hollie. (It's okay, I share their concerns, ha-ha!)
  • Speaking of my daughter, I had the honor of being her escort for the Homecoming Court at Friday Night's Enterprise football game.  What a thrill!  (I know, that has nothing to do with Sunday's service).
  • So here: God used this series to rock my world.  I'm not the same as I was before.

  • That's a choice, by the way.  You and I get to CHOOSE for ourselves if we're going to be changed!

  • I love being in a small group.  If you're not in one, you should get in one.  Yes, it will require you to do something that maybe you're not doing right now.  But it will be good for you.

  • Really glad that Alabama beat Arkansas.  And yes, that does too have something to do with Sunday's service.  I saw Nick McReynolds (hog wild, sooey-hollerin', Razorback-lover) in the lobby on Sunday and I had the opportunity to console him.  It was the "Christian" thing to do. :)

  • Natalie's video segment was great!  I think she needs her own TV show.  If you missed it, we'll upload it to the Crossroad's Vimeo and give you a link later in the week.

  • Oh, and if you're not in a small group, it doesn't mean you can't take advantage of the resources available.  Go HERE to listen to a podcast of the service and download all my notes and small group resources for each service.      
Just like you, I have a hugely busy week in front of me, so I'm going to leave you with this:  What marks a follower of Jesus Christ is a CHANGED LIFE.  This series was all about giving you a practical approach to embracing the kind of change that is pleasing to God.  Like everything else in life, the choice is yours and yours alone.  But I earnestly and regularly pray for you that you would CHOOSE LIFE!  Have a GREAT week!
