As we continue to prepare for our Fall launch, September 12th, which basically means we are going to take what God is doing and go public (John 12:32) I want to encourage you to be at church this Sunday.  We are going to continue our “RE” series “RETrain” a look at spiritual disciplines.  We are also going to be starting something that will blow your mind.  Make plans to attend this “don’t miss Sunday.”

We finished the Foundation Series this Sunday and it was apparent that God was at work.  People were coming up to me after the services talking about ways they are going to reach our community, that pumps me up!! Here are some thoughts about Sunday:

• Its time to make BOLD moves for the Kingdom
• Jesus will always be there to bring us to safety
• There is a passion for the Gospel that is starting to stir in our church!!
• Fear sometimes keeps us in the boat
• We are going to intentionally reach our community
• When we make BOLD moves JESUS is elevated
• People experience JESUS when we make BOLD moves
• Jesus is inviting us to make BOLD moves like he invited Peter to walk on the water
• You guys gave the most in the history of our church!

This week was awesome and the best is yet to come.  Be faithful and available!

So…we started a new series called Foundation and Sunday we talked about the foundation of Journey Church.  To sum it all up…its Jesus!  But here are my thoughts anyway.

• Church in America is in decline and we are going to do something about it
• We have TONS of children (man it would be good if we had a Student and Family Pastor)
• Journey Church exists to share Jesus with people and to see them baptized and become disciples
• You exist to….well, tell people about Jesus and help them to become disciples
• It’s time to roll up our sleeves
• Yes, I said I would eat wood (sometimes my mouth moves but my brain does not)
• Some of you need to call Bart and tell him you want to LEAD a journey group
• Some of you need to call Bart and tell him you want to HOST a journey group
• American spoiled version of the Great Commission (need I say more?)
• Don’t know why but God is up to something huge in our church!! (stand by because its going to be awesome)
• Last day at Silver Creek
• The CROSS is real and we have a REAL command to tell people about Jesus

Next week we continue the Foundation series and we are going to talk about who we are going to reach as a church.  I have a strong suspicion it will be people who do not know Jesus but come and hear what our Biblical Foundation is for reaching people.

Just a few thoughts from Sunday morning as we wrapped up our series in Jonah:

• The best is yet to come
• God is at work in the lives other people, even our enemies
• We have not right to angry if we are taping into God’s grace
• We can’t have double standards
• Our children’s ministry and volunteers are the BEST!
• God is calling us to our community
• Change is among us and it going to be awesome
• New building same purpose
• God is freeing us up to focus on people and not facilities
• We had our first official business meeting with no cussing or name calling(are you sure we are Baptist??)
• God will use his people even disobedient ones, God is that awesome.

That is it for now.  Don’t forget to invite people to Easter Sunday and our Easter Egg Hunt and Cook Out.

Jeff
