Sunday was another Experience. You know, I have gone to church for the past 25 years pretty solid. So solid that I could count on my fingers and toes the number of times I have missed a Sunday service in the past 20 years. I have been in some great worship services and have enjoyed being in church all these years, even more than enjoyment, I have grown in my Christian walk and closer to God. But, I have to say that every week at Out of the Box is an Experience to remember. the worship is good and it is honoring to God. No matter if we have 1 or 7 in the group that leads us, it is solid and it is good. It all serves to move us further in our walk with Christ. Thank you to the worship team who works so hard to make it happen each week and for Jay who always wants to make sure the music goes with the message and that people are being grounded in solid scripture.
We came back from the biggest attendance week ever at OOTBWC with a solid 249 people in worship. This is amazing and is a growth of about 100 more people each year. God has plans for us and I believe we are walking in those plans. You know that my heart and soul is to introduce the more than 26, 000 people in Carroll County that do not go to church anywhere, to our Christ. This is not a selfish attempt, this a mission to help people to know the Creator of the Universe, to the one who loves them and wants more than anything in the world for all of us to live victorious lives, and lives that lead to eternity with God in heaven.
There is so much more to life than the average person understands and more than most Christians understand.
Some takeaways from Sunday.
God honors bold prayers and bold prayers honor God.
Refine your prayers as God refines you.
Dream BIG and pray prayers that if God doesn’t come through, you look silly.
People who take desperate measures for God are honored for it.
Do Not Be Afraid!
Never stop praying for the burden God has given you.
An empty stomach may be the greatest prayer posture mentioned in scripture.
Jesus said some miracles only happen with prayer and fasting.
Goals are dreams with deadlines. Dream Big, write them down, work toward them, and watch them happen.
I love you guys.
