Resurrection Day Reflections

• This list is a little late.  I have a bit of a post-service hangover today.
• I had a plan for my message and the Holy Ghost had another.  He won out
• Official launch in our new facility
• We did not do a mailer or anything
• Sunday morning just feels right
• At the end of the message Holy Spirit cam in like a flood
• I love that!
• Bunch of folks raised their hands for salvation
• Met some new folks that are going to be some serious warriors for Jesus
• Can’t wait till I can call them friends
• Lots of parents came today
• My mother heard me preach for the first time ever
• After service she rebuked a visitor for rolling their eyes when I was preaching
• hmmmmm
• We started setting up on Fridays
• Failure in leadership.  I think the setup team thought that meant there was nothing to do on Sunday
• Definitely NOT the case
• My wife and I were running around like chickens with their heads cut off getting ready for service
• Khamille and Lilian did songs
• Sergio rocked it like normal
• I need a little table to put my water bottles on
• I could go through half a gallon of water when I preach if I was able
• I could not find my anointing oil.  Luckily I oil stored up on the inside of me
• Saw a dude get completely delivered from a demon
• I am not trying to start a Baptist church.
• I am Spirit filled.  I want my people to be Spirit filled.
• Christian discipleship starts with the baptism in the Holy Ghost.
• I am going to preach on that more than ever in the coming months.
• I used new connection cards and people actually checked the little boxes indicating that they received Christ as their Savior in the service
• Who knows how many people got saved at The Mission in the past year that we did not know about
• Good News:  Jesus knows
• Gotta get them wet and filled with the Holy Ghost
• No Easter eggs today.  We just say no to Pagan celebrations
• We won’t fast on Ramadan or gamble for Diwali either – not sure why this is so controversial
• Had lunch at the Chinese buffet, too full to eat diner that night
