Life Pointe Church Sunday Morning Tossed Salad

1.  If the movie theatre were a giant desktop computer system then Pastor Travis is the Windows XP shortcut to get in to it. He arrives, he disappears for a moment or two, and then he reappears in the main lobby to open the door for the rest of us.

2.  The ‘Kids Life’ registration desk has some fresh new competition with the new-and-improved Information & Sales tables that are now (un)officially known as the ‘Life Pointe Church Visitor Center & Gift Shop’. We sported an exciting new look and vibe this week, and it’s just the start of some more wonderful changes that shall be coming soon.

3.  The maroon LPC ‘CHURCH ROCKS !‘ tee-shirts continue to multiply all throughout the main lobby and within the Sunday morning services. It’s the fashion statement of the season. You’ve just gotta get one if you don’t already have one. Come and visit us at the LPC Gift Shop for a good deal !

4.  We now know that the next message series that starts next Sunday morning is entitled ‘(un)christian’ – subtitled ‘confessions of a recovering hypocrite’. It could be controversial. It could be radical. But Jesus was both of these. We need to refocus and return to what Jesus was all about. We’re inviting 60,000+ households – our neighbours all across South Miami-Dade County – to experience this message with us. Save some room for our new visitors. Let’s welcome them to our church with open arms.

5.  Dr. Grant McClung was our special guest speaker this morning, and he spoke powerfully and wisely with us about being counter-cultural and living a conduct that is worthy, differently, carefully, with Love, and in Light. President Ronald W. Reagan told Mr. Gorbachev to ‘tear down this wall’ back during the Summer Of 1987. Jesus Christ destroyed the walls in our lives and directed us to live differently and change the world for the better.

Ephesians 2:14 (New Living Translation, 2ND Edition):
For Christ himself has brought peace to us. He united Jews and Gentiles into one people when, in his own body on the cross, he broke down the wall of hostility that separated us.
