- Blown away right now
- The weekend kicked off in a powerful way at our Good Friday service at Revolution
- If you missed it, make plans to be there next year
- Always a powerful night remembering the cross and what Jesus did in our place
- Last night was simply unreal at Revolution last night
- We kicked off a brand new series on the Old Testament
- We had 8 people indicate that they accepted Christ
- And then I found out today that since last year, Revolution has grown by 187%
- I’m just stunned
- I loved looking at the connection cards last night to not only see those who took that life changing step but also reading the connection cards of those who brought them putting in the prayer line that they were praying for their friend to accept Christ
- Love the passion that Revolutionaries have to see lives changed and to believe in the power of the gospel for lives to be changed
- Last night was also our first night with The Crossing officially joining us
- So excited about the energy and passion that they have and will bring to our church
- We announced last night that we are having another newcomer’s brunch on May 1st
- We have so many new people that we are doing them back to back
- If you are interested in coming, email Chuck Tommervik
- If you missed last night, you can listen to it here
- What I’m excited about in this series is the fact that I will get to preach on stories and books of the Bible I haven’t preached on before
- You can also download the study guide for this series here and this week’s devotional questions are here
- If you are looking for an easy to get into the Bible, this is it
- Our spring small groups just ended and the stories of what God did over the semester have been so cool to hear
- Over the summer, we are going to take a break from small groups and do community dinners throughout the summer as an easy way of getting to know other people
- There will be more details about this in the coming weeks
- Just finalized this past week with Paul our sermon schedule for the rest of the year
- So pumped about what we will be preaching on
- Today was an awesome low key day in our house
- It was nice coming off a busy couple of weeks to have nothing going on
- It will be capped off by my favorite night of the week: date night
- This week, we are starting an experiment in leadership development at Revolution, pretty excited about it and how God might use this to help our church multiply quickly
- Right now, there are a ton of things that are happening behind the scenes as we make plans to multiply our church several times in the next few years, I would covet your prayers for myself and our leaders for wisdom as we plan and lead and follow God’s plan for Revolution
- To go along with that, in a few weeks I will be heading up to Soma in Seattle to spend a week at their leadership training school
- They are an Acts 29 church that is doing some incredible things in Seattle and have multiplied several times
- Really excited about learning from them
- Got a new tattoo on Thursday that I love
- So excited how it turned out
- When I sent my mom the picture she said, “They can make crosses smaller”
- Always a mom
- Anyway, time to get back to my lazy Sunday
- Don’t miss next at Revolution as we continue our series in The Story of God and look at Genesis 3 to see where life went wrong
- If you’re wondering why our world is the way it is, what to do about it, what God is doing about it, you need to be there next week
- And bring someone with you, it is going to a powerful night capped off with a very clear gospel presentation
- Praying we see even more people make a decision to follow Jesus the week after Easter
- Be praying with me
