I was moved...challenged...encouraged...Jim spoke Sunday on "It's Time to Out Give." I long to be involved in the Acts 2 church and believe that we are starting to taste that. In my small group Sunday night we challenged ourselves to pray about an opportunity to do something our in the community...some way to encourage...build up...just simply touch people...then BAM...right as we were praying an idea popped up to take meals to family that is struggling to make it in our church. It was AWESOME...EVERYONE was on board...Everyone wanted to help this family...we prayed and didn't have to even wait a week.
So, here is something we are wrestling with as a church right now...we are praying about our location...we love the atmosphere of the movie theater and have been praying about other options too...A place that gives us our offices and services in one location...a place where we can still have the atmosphere like the theater...Actually I have been kinda looking for months...praying that God leads us to the spot he wants...Movies 14 or somewhere else. We are in "talks" with a new location (actually old!, but new to us) in a store front...no final details...no definates...just stepping forward as God hasn't closed any doors and just keeps creaping them open!
Here is the deal for me...I DO NOT want a building or location to distract us from what is most important...and that is POURING OUR LIVES INTO PEOPLE...So, we are praying...actually I'm heading over to the location tonight to pray outside the doors...
