We have been in this Supernatural series for four weeks now and we have touched on Spiritual Warfare and Satan and Demons for two weeks. This weekend we took a little turn in talking about the good guys! This Sunday we talked about Angels. In God's Word we hear the names of only three Angels throughout the Bible, 1) Michael, 2.) Gabriel, and 3) Lucifer. In the Bible God describes three different kinds of Angels all throughout scripture. The first is CHERUBIM. Ezekiel 1 describes a vision of CHERUBIM... each with 4 faces and they darted around around like flashes of lightning. The second kind of Angel were called SERAPHIM. The SERAPHIM's job in heaven is to lead the worship of God. They're only mentioned by in...
Isaiah 6:2 (NIV) "Above him were seraphs, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying."
The third kinds of Angel is the Archangels. The term Archangel only appears twice in the Bible but there are other references to the Archangel Michael.

We also know in scripture that Angel's do four things throughout scripture.

#1. Angels WORSHIP God.
Nehemiah 9:6 (NJKV) 6 You alone are the LORD; You have made heaven, The heaven of heavens, with all their host, The earth and everything on it, The seas and all that is in them, And You preserve them all. The host of heaven worships You.
Isaiah 6:1-3 (NKJV) 1 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple. 2 Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3 And one cried to another and said: “ Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; The whole earth is full of His glory!”
#2. Angels Bring MESSAGES From God.

Two of the words for Angels in Greek and Hebrews (malak and angelos) means messenger. Another word for Angels in God's Word is diakoneo which means attendant, wait upon, to minister as unto a friend.

#3. Angels PUNISH God's Enemies.
Acts 12:23 (NKJV) 23 Then immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he did not give glory to God. And he was eaten by worms and died.
#4. Angels PROVIDE For And PROTECT God's People. (DIAKONEO)
Hebrews 1:14 (NKJV) 14 Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?
Matthew 4:11 (NKJV) 11 Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him.

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...

Band: Drums: Mark Monteiro Bass: Gerald Lay Electric: Rob Sherrod Electric, Acoustic, and Lead Vocals: (Me), Jason Eaton BGV's: Mary Beth Holmes Songs: Nothing Is Impossible (Planetshackers) Give Me Faith (Elevation Worship) Revelation Song (Jennie Lee Riddle) Love Came Down (Brian Johnson) W OW! 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...
