Inside Today’s Experience

May 18, 2008 by Gilbert Leave a Comment

  • Some weeks I come home and feel like we missed the mark…NOT TODAY!
  • What a powerful and moving Experience.
  • 4 more people born into the Kingdom.
  • So many people committing their lives to more than just stuff…but to being whom God has called them to be.
  • Great to have my in-laws in town…especially on a day when I was saying something nice about them in the message.   🙂
  • The morning got started early…I was so pumped up about today that I got up early and got into the church so that set-up could be a little more relaxed than normal.
  • When I got there a lot of stuff was still set-up from last nights kids event, so it made it even easier.
  • From a tech standpoint everything went great today…awesome job guys and gals!
  • The worship team was hitting on all cylinders…and that was before the song after the message.
  • Everyone seemed to like the opening video.  What made it so long to shoot, was the fact that after every take, everything needed to be washed and re-set.
  • Obviously I was being very facetious about the Scripture Mints…what’s funny though is that I tried one and they are very good…I mean very good to the point I may buy more.  So now I guess I’m one of those crazy people who think these things are an effective form of evangelism.
  • Thursday night’s worship practice was very powerful because before we learned the “God of this City” song, we sat around and shared with one another what we wanted to see God do in our midst.  It made the song very personal for the team and I think that came through loud and clear when they sang it.
  • I don’t normally do this but I let the song in as part of the MP3 of today’s message.  The sound board is being mixed to sound good in the room, not on a recording so the quality is not as good as it could be, but it was such a powerful moment that I didn’t want to take it out.
  • The album can be purchased here of Chris Tomlin and his team doing the original recording.
  • Afterwards I had tons of people stopping me saying how much they were touched by God.
  • My prayer is that we’d truly start living this out and that God would do something incredible in our midst.
  • My in-laws were hesitant coming in, but they enjoyed it as well…whew.
  • Well it’s time for my Sunday nap.
  • Don’t forget to keep checking back to the blog this week for at least 1 huge announcement and possibly 1 or 2 more.
  • Don’t forget…You are the Salt of the Earth and Your Presence Matters.
  • I’m proud to be your pastor…now let’s go make an IMPACT on Chambersburg and beyond!
