Man, What is going on? Life Church blowing up! I wish you could have seen it from our view when the lights came up. We were all in shock...People everywhere!!

God is moving and in a BIG way here. We have seen week after week people crossing over from death to LIFE!! I get so excited hearing the stories of lives being changed and seeing the transformation. Thank you Jesus for letting me be a part of this!!

Yesterday was about being an overcomer. You are an OVERCOMER!! Gods word is faithful and true. His promises are Yes and Amen. Walk in that. Walk in the victory that is already set before you. Just like we sang yesterday = All of my life, in every season You are still God and I have a reason to sing, I have a reason to worship!! Sing that over yourself if you need too, hey sing it or say it over yourself even if you don't!!

I know I say it every week but we are a part of something BIG here. This isn't the norm but you know what.......it should be. Churches should be growing. Lives should be changing. No more will we sit on the sidelines as Christian's. Its time to get busy! Its time to get our hands dirty and do some work. If you just go to church then why come? Why not get involved? There really is no good excuse for doing nothing. Sounds harsh but, its true and its how I feel!!

Its an honor to serve with you!

Hey Life Church!!
What a Sunday! Man you all are getting more and more pumped each week. It is awesome to see and hear what God is doing among us! We are seeing Salvation's, growth like crazy, life change, community and a joy for the Church like never before. I want to encourage(push may be a better word) to invite people to church on Sunday. Invite your neighbors, your post man, your family, even invite your enemies to Life Church. Our heart is to see lives changed. We pray and plan and prepare for each Sunday with expectation. We don't get up at 5am on Sunday because its fun. We do it because we LOVE it. We do it because we are PASSIONATE about people becoming fully devoted followers of CHRIST. Lives are being changed. Our community is being changed. People are going from death to life! How stinking awesome is that? WOW! If that doesn't get you excited then what are you doing? Why do you come or even go to church? Are you alive? If you are a committed follower of Jesus and you just come to church to hang out and get fed then your missing the point. We want you to grow and we want you to be there but we want people that are far from Christ to be there. We as a staff cant invite everyone. We don't have the same area of influence that you do. We don't know everyone that you know. Use that to your advantage!!!
Its time for us to step it up. Myself as a Pastor and a Leader of Life Church is committing right now to YOU that I am stepping it up. 110%! Lets do this together. If we as church step up our game things will happen like we've never imagined. Lets make such a difference that if we were gone....... People would actually notice. Why wait? Start today. Invite your coworker or who ever. 9 out of 10 people will say yes to you so do it! I believe in you!

Lets get busy!!!!

WOOHOO!
What a day yesterday! We started a new series called who do you think you are! Craig really brought it talking about us being Christ's ambassadors. When you know who you are, you will know what to do! If you are a Christian, you are Christ's ambassador! That was such a great reminder for us! We are apart of something so big. We are apart of bringing the Kingdom to earth. We are a carrier of the truth. The question is are we really living that way? I know of areas in my life that I can step it up in so what about you? Are living like and ambassador or do you consider yourself just a"regular" christian? You are a son or daughter of the Creator! Dude...That's awesome! You are royalty so live like it!!

Man,
I Quit living in fear was an awesome message. There were so many things that we can relate to and put in to a practical application in that message.
The FIRST fact is that FEAR is NOT from God.
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. (2 Timothy 1:7)
Secondly is that fear is placing faith in the "WHAT IF'S?".... WOW, how true is that? It's something we all have done or are doing now. We know the truth and we know that we have victory but we are being consumed by the what if's? For many of us we dwell on the bad or what seems to be impossible. We forget about what God has taken you through or what we have come out of. Remind yourself of situations that you deemed as impossible but made it through. DON'T FORGET about what GOD has done in your life!
I had a really great time getting to know the guys from lifechurch.tv that came out for the weekend. They were able to see what Life Church Franklin is all about!!
Lifers, Lets keep it up. Continue to live out your daily lives as the church. Bringing change wherever you go.Bringing life to dark situations!!
You guys are awesome!!

Sunday was amazing and I have to say that I am so grateful to be apart of what is going on here. 3 years we have been a church and we are GROWING!! Man its crazy to think that it all started with a handful of people. Patrick talked about where we were, where we are and where we are going! That is a phrase that we can all use for our lives too. Where are you headed? What choices or decisions are you making to get there. Whether we realize it or not we are making decisions!
I am super stoked for out move. It is going to be AWESOME!! I know that our growth is going to be even faster than it has. I'm believing BIG. I know that greater things are in store for us. Lets all do our part and dig in, get our hands dirty and make a difference!
Thank you Life Church for believing in the the leadership. For jumping in knowing that its going to be crazy but soo worth it!! I believe in you all. You are world changers!!
