To Fire on all cylinders = RISK (Follow up to "it" a few weeks ago)

Yesterday we had one of our best services and concluded by far the best series yet. For four weeks were challenged by "30 Days to Live", the question "How would you live your life if you knew you had only 30 days left" has changed my life and no question a lot of other people as well. I will never look at Psalm 39:4 the same again "Lord remind me how brief how my time on earth will be."

We set out a mark with this series and that was to push envelope little by little as the series unfolded over 4 weeks and that we did. Every week the atmosphere changed by scenery, props, people, media and yesterday the team blew it up with a whole new delivery approach. Instead of ending the message with a drama we started the message with the dance/live music/narration/and video all at the same time. Since Troy and Santos were involved in the series I had them help with the finally by recapping and introducing the sermon. All in all, there were many twists and turns in making yesterdays conclusion a success and the team executed with precision and professionalism which revealed their value for God's word and heart to touch lives. If one word could sum up yesterdays team victory I would have to say R-I-S-K. We fired on all cylinders yesterday because everyone had the same goal and everyone went out to make a play. This is part of "it". This is what makes a church "sticky." When everyone innovates, when everyone gives their best, and when everyone takes a risk. And the beauty is the end result lives are transformed, homes are changed, marriages are restored, peoples dreams are birthed. My my my...WE are getting "it"
