- God has a sense of humor.
- This was a holiday weekend which should have meant low attendance, no energy, and a Sunday to “re-group” getting ready for next week.
- WRONG!
- God showed us Who is really in charge.
- We had our highest attendance since EASTER! That’s right – Easter. The holiday people are SUPPOSED to come to church. On LABOR DAY! The holiday people are supposed to be on the lake!
- Another high was first time guests. We had 34 fill out cards! WHERE DID THEY ALL COME FROM?!
- They came because lives are being changed by the Gospel and THAT is contagious! OneLifers – keep sharing your faith stories and keep inviting people to come worship with you!
- Speaking of worship, it was amazing. We also got to celebrate communion together, which is always one of my favorite things we do.
- I took this Sunday as a chance to clear up our beliefs about baptism during the sermon.
- The sermon had been planned for months, but in just the past couple of weeks I’ve had multiple conversations with people wondering why we do baptism the way we do it.
- So we answered that question and the question of what is the significance of baptism?
- The main significance is going public with your faith. And next week, we have 20 people going public through baptism!
- Let me answer somebody’s question now: “Why does he talk about numbers so much in this blog?”
- Because they matter! Just like I talk about the 60,000 people within 5-miles of Powell High School who are unchurched and need Jesus!
- Next Sunday is a day I’ve been looking forward to for months. OneLife turns 1-year old!
- We’ll be celebrating all that God has done over the past year in ONE combined service at 10 a.m.
- It’s going to be PACKED so you better come early to get a good seat.
- Or better, come early to volunteer and serve all of our guests who will be there to hear about us thanking Jesus.
- Or even better, get up early, go pick up a friend, and bring them with you to hear about Jesus getting the victory.
- It’s going to be incredible! See you there – at 10 am ONLY!!!
