Happy New Year!
I cannot believe it is 2012. And last year at this time I was sitting in an emergency room while they shocked my heart because I was in A-Fib. It has been one crazy year! It has been an amazing journey to Tennessee. And I am filled with gratitude to be here and to be serving with Cross Point.
Yesterday was an opportunity at Cross Point, to share my heart for 2012. All the campus Pastors had a chance to share at each of our campuses. What an awesome way to start the year together. Looking to our future as a church and as a campus and committing to pray together.
It has been public knowledge for a couple months that North campus was starting the search for a new home. Yesterday I had a chance to talk more about our move and to challenge us to pray for our journey.
If you are a part of North Campus or you are willing to pray for our journey, here is my message from yesterday. Also, Id love to hear from you? Are you excited for 2012? What does ministry look like to you this year?
This last Sunday I had the opportunity to speak to the North Campus for the first time since joining Cross Point Church. What an honor to be able to speak from my heart and open God’s word together.
I have to say thank you to so many of you that gave words of encouragement and prayed for this weekend. I am so grateful.
Plus, many of you have asked to listen to my message from this last Sunday. So, here ya go :)
I spoke on Growth VS Comfort. Here are the notes as well…
___________________________________________________________
Growth vs Comfort
Comfort Encourages Self Reliance - Leads to Complacency
*Complacency causes us to rely on our own knowledge and strength
*Complacency starves our passions
*Complacency feeds our insecurities and fear
Story of Abram - Journey to Canaan - Genesis 12:1-9
Growth Encourages God Reliance - Leads to Movement
*Movement welcomes God to interact
Genesis 17:1-5
*Movement requires risk
Romans 4:18
*Movement is a process
Final Thought…
*We are not in this alone
Romans 8:31
