This weekend was the last weekend for our series How To Eat An Elephant. We have heard from many of you about the long lasting impact that this series will have on you for a long time. Personally I believe this is the most important series we will or could ever do. When it comes down to Christianity it is about Transformation and allowing God's Word to renew our minds daily. God has daily words for you and I. He wants to connect with us every day! He wants to spend time with us each and every day and in this series we gave you very practical tools and resources on how to do that.

Scott wrapped up the series by asking us this question. What is the point of Christianity? Is the goal behavior modification? Is the goal religion? Is the goal to become a better person? Is the goal to pray a prayer and get to heaven? The answer to all of these questions is absolutely not! The goal of Christianity is relational intimacy and transformation. Dallas Willard says this... "The real question is not, "Will I get to heaven?" The real question is will I like it when I get there?"". I have also heard John Piper asked the question, "Would you still want to go to heaven if Jesus wasn't there?" Those are some good things for us to think about during this week...

The byproduct of relational intimacy is transformation. Max Lucado has said that, "God loves us just the way we are... but he doesn't want us to stay that way." James 1:22 says, "Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. "Unapplied truth is like unapplied paint... it doesn't do anybody any good. THe value is in the application." - Lane Jones.

Are you growing? Are you more like Jesus today than yesterday?

Resonate let's live transformed lives!

My Weekend and Thoughts About Visiting Passion City Church

Image
So I got an inside look into the amazing stuff going on at Passion City Church in Buckhead (ATL), Georgia. I learned so many great things about how they communicate, lead, set vision, and much more that I wanted to share my thoughts from visiting.  Plus a bunch or pictures below. HERE ARE THE MAIN THINGS I LEARNED FROM THEIR LEADERSHIP TEAM ABOUT HOW THEY LEAD, GUIDE AND DIRECT THE PEOPLE OF PASSION CITY CHURCH! The lead story (the headline) at Passion City Church is always the same and that is that "Jesus Is Alive." No matter what happens on a Sunday nothing trumps this!  At most of our churches the focus can be on that the chairs weren't set up correctly or that something didn't get put back the way it should have.  Those things can and should be addressed, but they are so far down the line in importance.  The fact that Jesus Is Alive is the main thing! As a leader our main job is to consistently cast vision every second in every conversation.  E...

Our VIP Weekend @ Elevation Church

Image
So I got to attend a Sunday night service at Elevation Church in Charlotte, NC at the Blakeney Campus. The area of Charlotte probably has now officially become one of my favorite areas in the country.  I could easily live there. Once we pulled onto the street to get to the church they had signs asking if it was your first time to the church to turn on your car flashers.  Once the parking team noticed it they immediately sent you to prime front row parking.  At Elevation they call first time guests VIP's.  Also, a part of being a VIP is to immediately go to the black VIP tent right outside the front doors where they give your a bunch of free stuff!  We filled out the paper work needed to put our daughter into her Elevation Kids class then we were given a VIP packet with a free CD and message from Pastor Steven Furtick.   They walked us to the Kids check in and the kids volunteers had Greenlee (our daughter) jumping up and down with excitement...

So we began anew series this week joining with well over 700,000 other churches across the world to discover more of God together. We will be discovering and looking deeper into this statement "God Is..." We are going to dig deep for four weeks looking at some characteristics of who God is. This week Scott talked about "God is... HOLY". Holy simply means: exalted, something completely set a part, other than, something on a higher plane, something bigger than us that can't be measured by the standards that we measure ourselves, worthy of honor & respect, above us, all together different. That is a pretty amazing definition! What is even better is... GOD IS...
