Yesterday concluded our series on Planted and it was an extremely great message by Pastor Judah Smith. If you haven't had the chance to watch it you need to get online and check it out. In the meantime? That is what we were learning about, that we are not where we were but were not where we are supposed to be. The Meantime! I talked a little about how we in that time of in between we really need to be planted. We need to take that time to go after God even more. I heard it said that if your not moving forward that you are going backwards. We may feel like were stuck but we must press on.
I also shared about the trees roots and how it grows. Did you know that the roots grow up to 3x bigger than the branch spread?
Or that when one side of he roots get injured the branches and leaves on that side will die or wilt? We have to planted in good soil. Our roots are what hold us in the ground and feed us(Also a tree)!
If you feel like your in the meantime don't give up. Keep moving forward. Press on!
And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap if we do not give up! Galatians 6:9

Yesterday was such an awesome end to the series I Believe In You! Dr. Chand did such a great job. I really feel that this has been such an important series for all of us. How good do you feel when someone says that they believe in you? You feel awesome! It makes you feel like what you are doing has value! If you have missed any of them go back to the website lifechurchfrankln.com and check them out! These are a must see!! Did you tell 2 people that you believe in them? If so, how did that go?

I wanted to say a special thank you to the worship and tech team. This group of men and women are there setting up before most of you are even awake on Sunday. I appreciate the time that they put into it every week. You and I are blessed to have them here! Really, we have so many volunteers that are serving in so many areas and it is such an honor to serve with you. You all have a part in what God is doing at Life Church and here in Franklin. Lets keep dreaming big for our church. Lets keep praying for our leaders and expecting to see things happen! We are just scratching the surface here at Life Church. We are going to continue to see lives changed, we are going to continue to see growth that we really cant explain and keep dreaming BIG!. Let us not be satisfied with where we are at. We know that God has more for us so lets continue to pursue that! You all are awesome!
