This evening our worship team and several others rehearsed for next Sunday's final sermon in our GLORY series. After preparing this evening I am even more ready for Sunday to get here. The other day in the mail I got a flyer from a used car lot suggesting that I push, pull, or drag, my vehicle into their dealership and receive $1,000 for it.
I almost think we need the same kind of urgent plea to go out to everyone in our church to push, pull, or drag their friends and family to church this Sunday. I realize that the phrase "push, pull, or drag" our friends isn't necessarily that appealing, there's no need to twist someone's arm, a simple invitation should be enough. It's not painful attending our church, in fact many view it as exciting and they look forward to it. Unfortunately, we forget just how urgent the need is for our loved ones to hear the Good News and we don't even invite them to come.
A lot of energy, prayer, time, and creativity has gone into the hour and a half for this Sunday. The potential to make a memorable and lasting impact on those that attend this Sunday is huge. I would hate for anyone who doesn't have a church home to miss out on this Sunday; I just know God is going to meet us in a special way. If you are an attendee of our church or read this blog and live in the area do whatever you can to make it to church this Sunday; bring someone with you and experience what it is I'm so excited about.
I'm super excited about sunday's service, however I am WAY bummed that I'm not going to be singing on sunday with our super awesome worship team, we recieved more horrible news wed. afternoon so needless to say I didn't make it to practice I did however make it to my accountibility partners house for a shoulder to cry on. Everyone should indeed Push, Pull, or Drag their friends to church because not only will they find a great message about God but they just may find some fantastic friends, like my accountibility partner, who when they too are in need of a shoulder will lend them one.
