• I get to eat at California Dreaming on Wednesday.
• I get to eat at Pappasitos on Thursday.

Like I said, it’s gonna be amazing…oh yeah, I also get to take our team to Catalyst as well.

While talking to Daryl today, this scripture came to my mind…

Psalm 20:7– 7 Some trust in chariots and some in horses, and some the stock market
but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.

(this is the 2008 translation)

Everybody take a breath and remember that God is still on the throne.  He is still in control.

1.  Inspire people to live life fully Alive!

2.  See 100 People come to know Jesus as Lord and Savior!

• Sunday was a great start to the series.
• We got to really see what it takes to set up Ashley High School on Sunday Morning.  It’s quite a bit of work but our team is up to the challenge.  By the way, we got a few openings for some non-wimpy people who want to work hard to make Lifepoint happen.
• We had some technical glitches 5 minutes before the 9AM Service.  No problem…our team got it straight.
• My extremely inventive Executive Pastor developed a solution to black out the sky light so we are in business now!
• Our band busted out with Alive by POD.  I’ve got to give Drew and the guys major props!
• We’ve got some big surprises up our sleeve for this weekend!
• We had 15 people stop by our next steps area to tell them that they began a relationship with Jesus!  YES!!!!!!!!!!
• We played a powerful video by an amazing lady named Donna during our services.  It was a huge encouragement to everyone.  You can watch it on our website in the next few days.
• Choose to be alive in the moment!
• Huge shout out to our band guys for having a servants heart to do “whatever” was needed this past week!
• I’ve said this over the past few weeks and nobody has responded to the challenge…but I bet that our setup team can kick all other portable churches tails.  It’s just a fact.
• So far we have seen 25 people come to know Jesus in the first 2 weeks at Ashley High School!  God is amazing and the best is yet to come!

“Rumblings are more felt than heard and certainly never seen.

They come to you through the soles of your feet into the depth of your soul.

Only then do they open the eyes of your heart.

They speak of a shift that is about to take place.”

–Kembr, The Perils of Ayden

I want to say thanks to Jay Edwards for this amazing gift!

I had a few really cool incidents this morning!

The first person who pulled up to the pump happened to be a girl who had worked for me before but she had spent so much time in my office crying about not making enough money that I had to call around and find her a job that paid more.  She really needed to gas and was so very grateful.

I also met another person who had lost their job and was having trouble making ends meet.  He couldn’t afford to buy gas and couldn’t thank us enough.

The last guy was someone who was being pushed to the gas pump because he had literally run out of gas before he could pull into the gas station.  He asked me how much the gas was going to cost and when I told him that he had received a blessing from Lifepoint Church and was going to receive $20.00 worth of gas for free, he started crying.  He didn’t have any money and didn’t know that we were giving away gas!  I gave him a Lifepoint card and told him that he was truly blessed today!

If you’ve got a great story please email it to me:  info@lifepointnow.com

We kicked this weekend off with a free gas giveaway for the community.  There is something awesome about giving away free Gas!  I’ll share some stories with you this week from that experience.

Saturday evening we had over 100 of our dream team volunteers come out the Ashley High School to practice setting up and tearing down our new location.  Our team is amazing and did a fantastic job!

This morning was our very first services at the high school.  I didn’t know what to expect.  The one thing I did know was that God was in the house and when God is here anything can happen.  Today we were also wrapping up our “At The Movies” series with the summer blockbuster, “Sex and the City.”

Here are my thoughts from today’s services:

• There was some serious tension in the room today.
• When the room is tense you know you are touching on a sensitive subject.
• I’m glad that Lifepoint is the kind of place that doesn’t shy away from the tough subjects.
• Our Usher team did an incredible job today seating people.  awesome job team!
• I was very proud of all our teams.
• Our set up and tear down team was insanely fast.  I’m convinced we’ve got the bet bunch of guys.
• Having a little more time between services was very nice!
• Attendance was 685 today.
• We implemented our “Next Steps” area and had atleast 9 people stop by after the service and say they prayed to become a follower of Jesus today!
• We had lots of first time guests today!
• today is the kind of day that makes you glad that we have a Pro-kids policy!
• I had my first taste of coffee/caffeine this morning in 22 days!
• I got to eat fajitas for lunch today!  AMAZING!!!!
• Our stage looked great this morning!
• We’ve still got some kinks to iron out with our new facility but I can already see the potential that we have at the High School.
• It was awesome today to see our team leaders really stepping up and leading their teams.  way to go guys!
• We’re still working on running IMAG.  We’re not quite ready yet but were working on it.
• WHAT A DAY!
• The great news is that we get to do it again in 7 days!  I love what God has called us to do!

All Glory to God!

Today we are praying for lives to be transformed, chains to be broken, and people to meet Jesus.

Pray with us!
