Kicked off the new summer series today, “Confessions of a Pastor” – it ROCKED!! Here’s some highlights and very random thoughts:

•People surrendered their lives to Jesus on both campuses today – can’t get enough of that!!

•Lot of people signed up for First Time Guest Experience – that’s Awesome!!

•Creative Team knocked the ball out of the park – always amazed to see how a series comes together.

•LOVED the worship experience at both campuses today! Compass Band and Production just keep getting better. Matt and Marcus brought it!!

•Sunday was NOT for the faint of heart. It was BOLD, CHALLENGING, and IN YOUR FACE.

•Somebody said it should have been called RANTS of a Pastor instead of CONFESSIONS – I was FIRED UP SUNDAY!!

•I will never apologize for being passionate about the same things Jesus was passionate (and even got angry) about!!

•The passage (Mark 3:1-6) also said He was saddened – nothing saddens Jesus’ heart more than a group of people that claim to be a Follower of His but are more interested in making points than winning hearts.

•We will always be a church that does WHATEVER it takes short of Sin to Connect People to Jesus.

•Just picked up a new book “Unlikely Disciple” about my alma mater, Liberty University – can’t wait to read!!

•Had a close friend I’ve known since college step off a church staff he’d been on for 12 years at a church that runs 20,000+ on Sunday.  Man, did that TAKE SOME GUTS but He knew God was asking him to take an unknown crazy faith step with his life – can’t wait to see what God does!!

•I PRAY that I will always have the courage to lead this church Boldly by responding to God’s CRAZY ASKS whatever they may be!!

•Had a GREAT FATHER’S DAY weekend – spent Friday & Saturday at Lisa’s parents house on Lake Hartwell with 25+ Family Members.

•I grilled 26 steaks on Friday night – hot as you know what, but might I say “perfection.” Only time it was totally quiet in the house all weekend when everyone sat down to eat!!!

•We (that’s Maw Maw & Me) made 41 home made biscuits on Saturday morning – check it out….gotta love it!!


•Can’t wait to preach this Sunday!!

•Get Ready, Get Ready, Get Ready – the Best is yet to come Compass!!
