This weekend we continued our seven week series Ignite: 6 Things That Ignite Your Faith. Our Lead Pastor Scott Hatfield (@Scott_Hatfield) talked about everyones favorite thing to talk about DISCIPLINE! This is something that we all have a lot of and love to talk about! Not really... Mostly discipline is something we all know we need but generally love to not partake. Going to the gym is one thing... but having private spiritual discipline is a whole other beast. Discipline is doing what I ought to do instead of what I want to do. Most people who I know that love or somewhat like Jesus want to have a great faith and know the Bible... but unfortunately most people just want that given or imparted onto them in a prayer line. They don't want to spend the time to do that... Or they don't want to have the discipline to do this or make this a reality in their life. But if you engage in spiritual disciplines your faith will ignite and grow! The amazing things is that what starts out as a discipline become an obsession and a passion. What begins as a discipline becomes a habit. What begins as a discipline becomes a lifestyle. What starts out as a discipline becomes and incredible reward. What started out as a discipline becomes a joy. Being disciplined in any area of your life will always result in joy. I have never heard anyone say... "Man, if I could do my life all over again I would be less disciplined." Here us the crazy thing about disciplines is that your attitude towards it is completely irrelevant. You can start off working out and hating it but you still can get the great results as the person who loves getting up and going to the gym.

I would really encourage you that if you didn't make it this Sunday please take the time to CLICK HERE and listen to this weekend message.

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...
