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!!

The ART of ENCOURAGEMENT

If our tongue has the power of Life or Death(Proverbs 18:21) then what are you speaking? It seems that being an encourager is almost a gift or lost art these days. Why is it that we are more apt to tell someone what we didn't like about something rather than what we did like? A big part is because we are consumers and we want it the way we want it and leave no room for error(especially someone else's). What if next time you went to speak it was an encouraging or positive word? What if you told someone how great they did at something instead of pointing out the flaws?
Christians and the Church have mastered pointing out what we don't like. We are more known for what we are against than what we are for. I think its time for a change! What if we were known for being such amazing encouragers, speaking positive things and lifting each other up? Not looking for fault but seeing the positive? For being people of love rather than hate? Lets be the change this world needs and that people need to see. Bite your tongue if you have to. I ask you to try it. Not biting your tongue but speaking positive, speaking life! You know how you feel when someone tells you how great you did? Now go and make someone else feel that way too!

Lets think....before we speak, and lets bring back the ART of ENCOURAGEMENT!!

Can you handle it?

Ah fasting! How fun it is. Ha HA. Its hard, and at times it just plain stinks. We really see how we crave things when we have decided to stay away from different foods or drinks or whatever it is. But, in those times we really seem to lean on God. We really get focused. Our laser vision sets in and we say to ourself I need to pray or read. Lets take these moments with us after the fasting is over. When we get in our routines lets find ourself still being laser focused saying I need to pray or read!! Lets create good habits for this year. Habits that stick that will change us, our church and our community forever. We only have this short life of ours to make a difference. If we arent going to do anything revolutionary then what are we doing! Lets be the change this world needs to see! Keep it up Life Church!

Its a New Year!! Can you believe how fast its gone by? Wow!
Sundays message was a great way to start off the year. Craig really reminded us about putting God First! Its something we say and talk about but its not always something we do. We have good intentions of reading our bible or spending time in prayer but we( I for sure) get side tracked easily and then next thing you know the day is over! Starting off our New year with a corporate fast is an excellent way to get focused on God and prepare ourselves for the upcoming year. Today is day 2 of our 21 day fast( hows it going for you?) so we are just getting started. It is awesome to know that not only Lifers but people all over the world are fasting/praying and going after God together!
During this time I want to encourage you to journal. Its a great way to write out your thoughts and prayers. Write out what you hear God speaking to you. Its something you can go back through and see where you were during this time or what you were praying for. Be real when you write. You would be surprised how much you can write out!

Know that we are in this together! Seeking God, expecting great things and knowing that the best is yet to come!!
