Aaron is great to have around but being new to the office, there is alot of stuff he, Earl and I have been coordinating on, plus I’ve been showing Aaron where things are, how to use things, etc…so I’m a bit behind.
Don’t get me wrong…I’m pumped up that he’s here and long-term the entire church will be much better off because of his incredible gifts he brings to the table.
Last night as I was driving to the church, Earl called to let me know his mother-in-law probably wasn’t going to live through the night and asked if I could teach his class.
That meant I had about 30 minutes to come up with a 30-40 lesson/sermon.
I had a blast…as I told them…none of this caught God by surprise…He knew that morning that I’d be speaking even if I didn’t.
So I told them the scripture we were going to look at and that I was fully trusting that God wuld give me the words to speak.
Basically gave a vision type message. I was pumped up…like let’s take on hell with a water gun pumped…like if God be for me who can be against me pumped.
What’s interesting is that class is made up primarily of some of our senior saints.
I always consider it a victory if everyone is still awake by the time I’m done.
Oh you laugh but it happens.
Last night though they were wide awake and ready to kick the devil right in the mouth.
Being able to give that talk was a great cap to a few days of deep soul searching.
Let me just say this…if you’re not in a small group you’re foolish.
It was my small group that helped me start down the path of searching, helped talked me through part of it and will help me carry it out.
Starting the week of October 5th we’re asking everyone to try a group for 4 weeks anyway, so make sure you sign-up this week.
Speaking of this week…the lie we’ll discover satan tells us is…”I’m Not Good Enough.”
Everybody deals with this one, so make sure you invite someone along.
And don’t forget…we are running out of room at the 10:45 Experience so if you can come to the 9:15 Experience that would be great.
