Other Life Pointe Sunday run-downs: Chris and Phil and Phil 2.0. After being away from Life Pointe for a Sunday, it always feels good to get back in the saddle. Today was no exception. I came as the only representative from my family. McKenna threw up on me first thing this AM. Kourtney had a high fever too. So, the crew stayed home. Before we got into the message, I shared off the record, off podcast, off video some possible scenarios on how the baptism situation with the County could work out. I felt a significant sense of unity. I feel as though we’ve been prepared for this moment. The people at the park are good people. But, we need to fix a situation that we weren’t looking to be involved in. Jesse rocked the house today. He also rocked South Beach on Monday. They got 4 more bookings in South Beach clubs of the next couple weeks. Life Pointe South Beach? I haven’t heard of any church plants making it there. You never know…one day. I also shared a little about giving. We don’t pass the plate. But, our people have really been stepping up to give generously. At a time where a lot of non-profits are hurting financially, our finances are better than ever. That’s good because our mission is also bigger than ever. We shared specifically about the person and work of Jesus for the 5th Sunday in a row. We’re trying to anchor down our basic doctrinal positions. After church, we met up with about 25 people at the new members luncheon. Great stuff. Now, I’m ready to crash out on the couch and catch a movie with Kel…tempted to go across the street and play Guitar Hero with James. I’ve got to get that game! Finally, as a regular stable of my blog, I’m adding the worship guide outline of the day’s message. Have at it:
SIMPLY JESUS WEEK 5 - WHERE IS JESUS TODAY?
John 16:28
Almost every major religion has a belief in a literal Jesus as God, good man, or prophet. (see Baha’i, Jehovah’s Witnesses, some Muslims, Mormons, DaVinci Code Conspiracy Freaks)
Isaiah 6:1-5 & John 12:41
Jesus the Soon Coming King - Revelation 19:11-16
