1. The summertime slump is done and over with. We had one of our biggest crowds in a couple of months during both services. It was so great to see that movie theatre all packed up with Life Pointe Church energy and enthusiasm for about 4 hours this morning. One couple saw all of the cars out in the parking lot as they drove by, so they decided to see what blockbuster box office smash was showing at 11 AM. I greeted them and then told them that the movies didn’t start until 1:30 this afternoon. They asked what ‘all of this’ was (pointing to all of the action in the main lobby). I told them that ‘this’ is Life Pointe Church. They blew me off and walked away.
2. Far more relevant than any movie that Hollywood could ever come up with is one of our Sunday morning services. Pastor Travis has returned for the first time since July, and he kicked-off a fresh new message series entitled ‘Loaded’. What does the Bible say about money ? In this three-week message series we’ll be sharing a strong Biblical perspective on money, material possessions, and eternity. We’ll be using the Scriptures to approach these somewhat controversial topics head-on. We’ll be challenged to rethink our core attitudes and use our God-given resources in ways that will have an eternal impact. We’ll deal straightforwardly with issues of materialism, stewardship, prosperity theology, and debt.
3. I won’t be at Life Pointe Church next Sunday morning, so you’ll have to check out one of our other fine bloggers next Sunday afternoon for a good solid ‘Wrap-Up’ of the events of the morning. Might I suggest this old cat or this young pup or even our fine leader – now with yellow hair ! I know I’ll be looking forward to these blogs next week to see what I missed.
The ‘Life Pointe Church Sunday Morning Tossed Salad’ returns in two weeks !
