What an AMAZING day at Crossroads today. We taught about Baptism in a personal way in both services this morning, and this afternoon at Lake Tholocco we had the honor and privilege of Baptizing 34 people!!! Pastor Ben, Pastor Matt & Hollie and Pastor Chris and me got to do it. I'm sure I speak for all of them when I say that baptizing people is the coolest thing God has ever let any of us do, and I can't imagine ever getting tired of it! I know you probably get tired of hearing this, but I am constantly BLOWN AWAY by how good God is to us, and BLOWN AWAY that we get to do what we do at Crossroads. Here's a few more of the many reasons why:
- Great crowd this morning. MANY people made decisions to renew their relationship with Jesus. MANY others decided to "go public" with their faith through Baptism.
- ROADIES 101 was well attended (don't have the numbers yet - but I saw the biggest crowd for ROADIES 101 I've seen in a while), and Pastor Ben did a great job hooking people up with Crossroads vision.
- Many who were in ROADIES 101 decided today to continue their term at CROSSROADS U and sign up for ROADIES 201!
- Worship Band rocked today! Everyone in Cinema 1 did an exceptional job. The pace of both services was spot on.
- Regular giving met our weekly budget today for the first time in quite a few weeks. Way to bring it guys! Can't tell you how much it means to your faithful staff to see you honor God by bringing to Him a portion of what He's blessed you with.
- Last week we executed our official Letter of Intent to purchase the College Cinema!
- Last week we closed on the dance studio (our Children's Center) next door to the Cinema!
- It's happening.
- God is making it happen.
- We just need to be faithful to walk it out.
A couple of weeks ago, Leslie and I were up at a leadership conference at NEWSPRING, Perry Noble's church, and Stephen Furtick - pastor of Elevation Church - said this: "If no one's laughed at the size of your vision lately, you're probably not dreaming big enough". Here's to people busting a gut over what God has put in our hearts at Crossroads! Hahahaha! Hahahaha! Hahahaha! WooooooHooooo!!!
Have a GREAT week!
