Monday emotions...

Whoa...it's been a while!!! OK, I'm back.

Sunday was AMAZING! There is no other way to put it, I LOVE the privilege of pastoring our church. We are currently in a series called "In Real Time". The idea behind this series is to establish how we, living our busy lives, can live out spiritual disciplines and follow Jesus. This week we studied the discipline of stewardship. The highlights are as follows:

* Stewardship is ALL about asking two questions
1. Is this the RIGHT thing to do?
2. Will I wish I had left this alone?

* To hear more go to - http://www.existencechurchsandiego.com/messages/

* We had a TON of people at church yesterday (second service was crazy). It's absolutely amazing to see people wait outside of church as their friends and family come for the first time.This is what being an INCLUSIVE church is all about! Way to go!!
* We had 6 people make first time decisions to follow Jesus yesterday. AMAZING! As a church we are praying that 50 people make the same decision this year. So far we have already seen 12! So cool!

* Carter literally yelled when we mentioned the Art Show (Friday, February 26, 2010 at 8:00pm till 12:am). I'm guessing he thinks we should all be there :). Grab a friend, put on your best earth tones and come hang!

* The band was a blessing yesterday!! Gerry went off with the Spirit and we followed - what a blessing to surrender!!

* We are starting a ladies kick boxing group!!! I think that's sick!
* We updated the church on some financial needs for 2010 - check out the video http://www.existencechurchsandiego.com/video/index.php Thank you Jason Leppert!

Final thoughts. I love this series. God is stretching all of us! I'm excited for this week - we are going to look at the discipline of reading the Bible. I'm super proud of our church and I love our passion!

Let's keep chasing Jesus, love you guys!!
