Inside Today's Experience - Gilbert Thurston

Another great day!
Saw 8 more people give their lives to Jesus!
Had a lot of new people doing “First Serves” today.
So awesome seeing people step up and use their gifts, skills, talents and abilities to serve others.
Great having church planters, Luke and Sabrina from Raleigh, North Carolina with us this morning observing what was happening and then having lunch with them at the Rock Bass Grill. Holy cow is that some good food.
Also awesome having Aaron Hoke leading worship for us today.
Aaron is normally one of our guitarists but with Bill away for a few weeks while he and Meghan welcome a new child into the world, Aaron is stepping up and did great!
FYI, Meghan was there today along with Bill…she’s now past due by a couple of days…they’re hoping for a Leap Year baby now.
As I told Bill, “The good thing is you only have to buy birthday presents every 4 years, the bad news is the kid will live with you for 72 years”. :)
Not a lot else to report for the day…pretty smooth.
I preached part 2 of the Sun Stand Still series on how to turn your pitiful prayers into powerful ones.
Based on Facebook comments, it apparently was a good and convicting message.
You can listen to it here as I taught on how to pray using an acrostic for the word ASK.
Next week we’ll wrap the series up by looking at what to do when opposition comes to your new life of faith. See you then…hopefully with a friend or two.
