Sunday Stories (11.23.08)
I love it when everything goes against what you planned! NOT!!! I am so structured and planned during a Sunday experience that I get totally ticked when think tank. Why? Because I want our God of excellence to get excellence in every area of our Sunday celebration!!!
So what went wrong?
- No coffee/cream cheese/volunteers in hospitality
- Service ran 15 minutes too long
- Poor attendance (76)
- Worship leader forgot schedule and changed order.
We had a few things go really good though …
- Great message
- Several guests and repeat attenders
- Music seemed tight (even though I played bass)
- Set-Up and Break down was awesome — as always!
- Communion seemed meaningful
I spoke with a new young lady – 2nd week – she said that she really likes my passion. One of the things I learned about passion is that it is catchy!
So I thought about what I am passionate about! Here’s my passion list:
- Loving God and Living for Him
- Keeping my love and eyes only for Mary, my beautiful bride
- Being the best dad possible to my two favorites
- Building the dream of The Point
- Seeing irreligious people become devoted followers of Christ.
- Making a global impact through missions
- Developing leaders and releasing them to do ministry
- Relationships
- Authenticity / Transparency
- Launching new churches throughout Long Island
- Families / Marriages
It’s not an exhaustive list, but its a starter. Build your list of passions and then live them out!!!
