- God On The Billboards ended with a "BA bang"!! :) Seriously, the guy just makes every song he does so FUN to watch! "New Divide" was no exception......
- Most didn't notice that BA tripped in the 2nd service, trying to jump up on the subwoofer. He is so smooth in recovering that it looked planned! The band was cracking up laughing, as you couldnt help but to laugh as you watched him recover even BETTER! :)
- Again, 2nd week in a row, power blew out. This series may be pulling too much amperage from the theater???
- 1st service was kind of thin. 2nd service was SLAMMED, completely packed. We have a problem, a good problem, that has to be addressed this week. Pray for favor with Rave Corporate as we ask for a bigger theater.
- Newcomers Cafe was FANTASTIC. I try to encourage our leaders to be there, as if you really want to stay in tune with the 'life' happening, be reminded of WHY we are doing what we do, .....get REFOCUSED.....this is the place to be.
- Seriously, one story after another after another of how God is changing lifes at Harvest. LOTS more truly unchurched are coming in, being powerfully transformed. Great stuff that I always drive home saying, I CAN GIVE THE REST OF MY LIFE TO SEEING THIS HAPPEN!!!!!!
- Had a 'spook' come in (aka, someone who is superspiritual who thinks they hear from God for everybody) after the meeting started. A new couple came up to me to inform me that this strange lady was 'prophecying' over some of the new Christians she had cornered. Needless to say, Pastor Roger took care of it.
- WHAT THE HECK ARE SOME PEOPLE THINKING??!?!? You come into a church meeting (she has never even been to our church, ever), feel it is your RIGHT to corner people and "prophecy"....when no one knows you at all??? Whatever happened to respect for leadership? Whatever happened to honor, to humility, to KNOWING YOUR BIBLE???? "Know those who labor among you." was a directive given to the early church to head off these very kind of nutcase things. Its just arrogance and spiritual pride, period.
- Sorry....I had to get that one off my chest......Some people just never cease to amaze me....they are exausting as well. I am thankful for the LIFE at work in our people, but want to SCATTER the bugs..! :)
Grace guys!

It is so great to see a church that is on fire for God and using current media and great books to reach others. My niece's family is moving there and i am encouraging them to attend. I hope I will get to, also some day soon!

I would love some prophecy over me but not from an "unknown"! Thanks for taking care of the situation in a tactful way. Moving in the gifts of the spirit is so powerful that one must be very careful whom it is coming from. "Thus Sayeth the Lord" we can get directly from prayer and studying our own Bibles which are Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth! We must study to show ourselves approved unto God a workman that needs not to be ashamed rightly dividing the Word of Truth. Jesus is our only Way and our only Life and our only Truth!!! Amen--so be it!
