Tuesday night delight

Tuesday night was loaded with some great stuff. Details please details …

-We started the night with prayer in groups of two or three. Read through Matthew 5:23-24 and chatted about the importance of offering our worship to God without a grudge or bitterness towards someone else. Yes, I did say “If this isn’t good (pointing towards friends) then this isn’t good (pointing towards God)”.
-Marc Quesada shared his story. He’s a great guy and it was fun to hear from him. He was nervous but did well. My most fav line of the night from him was “my brother said something to me that changed my life, I wanted to share it with you but I forgot what it was he said!”
-We sang worship through song and that was great. It’s a young group, first night without our grads from 09 and they worshipped well. What I mean is, they really focused on singing and I believe it was a genuine worship time.
-Rob challenged the group to find its leaders. Some of our grads really stepped up and were great examples (you know who you are) and our group is looking to fill that gap with them being gone. Best line of the night from Rob actually was quoted from a movie, Henry the 5th … “for he to-day that sheds his blood with me, shall be my brother”. Rob’s point was good leaders are people that are willing to step up and encourage those around them to move, to fight, to persevere. I see many who are able to do that now it’s a matter of want!
-The teaching covered Luke 10 and focused on the sending out of the 72. The main message they shared was “the kingdom of heaven is near”. We discussed what it would look like for us to live out that phrase over the next 72 hours. Could Wednesday, Thursday and Friday be completely changed because we choose to be like the 72 and not the 8,000? Our hope is yes!! Read Luke 5 through Luke 10 this week and get a picture of what we’re talking about.
-Next week … I’m pumped to hear about what happened! Invite a friend and come with your stories about the 72 hours you spent living out “the kingdom of God is HERE!”
