Weekend Reflections
We continued our God @ the Box Office series with Robots. We try to mix up movie genres and pick one movie that is either animated or kid-oriented. So we picked Robots for Mother's Day. The big idea this week was chasing your dream.
C.S. Lewis said, "Every life is comprised of a few themes." I think chasing your dream is certainly one of mine. I could preach on it every weekend. I just think the church has focused too much on sins of commission--not doing anything wrong. And neglected the fact that you can do nothing wrong and still do nothing right! We've produced half-Christians.
Stewardship is making the most of our God-given potential. When we fail to chase God-given dreams we rob God of the glory that rightfully belongs to him! At the end of our lives we won't regret the mistakes we made nearly as much as the God-ordained opportunities we missed.
The Saturday Night service @ Ebenezers was electric. We need to do a research study on the impact of caffeine on church services :) The Saturday Night crew was wired.
I had the opportunity to meet and greet a few new NCCers this week. I met a guy that used to be on staff at Saddleback Church where Rick Warren is pastor. He said that NCC felt like Saddleback. That is a high compliment.
I also met a girl who had never been to church in her life! She said she thoroughly enjoyed the experience. That is really our target at NCC so it was pretty gratifying.
