Your Sermon For The Day
Louie preached on grace today.
He read out of Ashley’s journal and when I walked out on stage after the sermon there 6000 eyes wet with tears of hope.
You need to listen to the sermon.

What did your communicator preach on yesterday?

RAIN IT DOWN
Wess Stafford spoke at the church I attended yesterday. He is the President of Compassion International. Shared of the growth, passion and vision of Compassion. Humble and genuine man. I’m pretty sure most of the service my eyes were leaking. It was challenging stuff.
serving. and it went along with a very fruitful ministry/serve expo. good day.
Troy spoke on Extreme Faith. From James 3. He did as awesome job communicating the power of the tongue. Think twice…speak once. Awesome job. Watch it at http://www.newliferenton.com
Pastor Ken Wilde spoke on living before the face of God by serving sacrifice. Incredible message! Find it here:
Coram Deo #9
Our church has been going through some dark times lately. Our pastor recently retired and our guest speaker looked at a very weary congregation and said, “Today, I would like to just talk about JESUS” He read so much scripture to us…Act, Hebrews, John…it was soothing to the soul! He kept going back to on word, JESUS!!!
I haven’t been on here in months. Just too busy. I left BHC almost two years ago when I took a job at a church in Stockbridge. I quit last week. Just wasn’t a good fit. Needed a place that cares about reaching outsiders more than pleasing insiders. Thank you for your part in making today an incredible first day back. First time I’d heard Ashley’s story.
Despite almost wanting to cry, one thing did bring a smile to my face.

Sometimes it’s good we don’t get what we wish for.
Wow, what an amazing story!
What a privilege it’s going to be to serve alongside Louie and the others from Passion in your city to reach the lost of Atlanta.
CITY.

That God is great than our trouble. That no matter what it is God in the end is great than that “it”. Powerful ending with a guy with brain cancer and his three friends standing down front holding each other, weeping and praying with each, loving each other and professing that God is still greater than their trouble. great stuff.
Kent continued our “Jesus and…” series with “Jesus and Salvation”, landing on the question, ‘what’s blocking you from eternal life right now?’ It was fantastic. The podcast should be live soon – check it out at http://www.marshill.org.
Well I was in the 9 AM service and you are right about the service. As a guy I know says, “no one does the Grace and Glory of God like Louie”.
They only person who speaks about grace better is Joseph Prince. Check him out on ABC Family around 5am. Set your DVRs.
On the louie online thing. How come the audio version is different than the video version? The audio version is much longer.
Perry Noble, NewSpring Church, spoke about “Is it ok for christians to drink alcohol?” VERY awesome sermon. The thing about Perry is, he speaks to the church on real issues that everyone struggles with. Things alot of pastors are afraid to discuss in the church today. God set Perry on fire yesterday with this message and every bit of information came from scripture. It was awesome!!
wisdom with finances based on the Proverbs. pretty good, if not sobering.
and btw my friend (and our church media director) met you yesterday! he can’t stop talking about you and the church now
which is good b/c it means new ideas and changes for Princeton Alliance. w00t!
Listened to it on the way in to work today!
Thanks for the link!
Let me guess what song you lead when he was done…
The Power of Words. The tongue holds the power of life and of death…it was all about speaking words of life into people who needed a word that “sustains the weary”.
we had a missions oriented service. our church has some direct ties with china, beijing in particular and since the olympics are starting this weekend, we spent the service discussion mission involvement in china and praying for china. it was pretty rad.
My pastor, Terry Fulks, spoke on emotions. That Jesus expressed emotions, God has emotions…and it’s okay that we have emotions. It’s what we do with them reflects whether or not we’re sinning.
He explained that for the first time in his years of journaling, he took time to write out how he felt about his marriage, his family, having kids in their twenties, being fifty-six, etc. and discovered that what he felt was different that what he thought about those things.

We just started a new series “one month left to live”. The focus yesterday was “living the dash”. How the birth date and death date are what one sees on headstones but how the important stuff is represented by a dash. Interesting stuff. I think it will be a good series.

Perry Noble spoke on “Can a Christian drink Alcohol” he had a 24 oz can of Bud on the stage beside him and made everyone vote on their side of the argument. 1) Not at all. 2) Yes, but drunkenness is a sin 3) Or they really don’t know. Check it out at http://www.newspring.cc
I spoke yesterday and laid an egg, which really frustrates me. Hopefully, someone got something out of it.
Fruit of the Spirit-”Kindness”
“It’s nice to be important, but it’s more important to be nics.”
Losing My Religion
It’s a series that answers the question “What would it look like if we stripped away religion and tradition and just followed Jesus”
Yeah it has some people worked up.
Yesterday was about applying that practically to how our church orders and programs our services. It is all about lost people and we need to lose our religion to reach out in love.
Matthew 9:9-13
Pastor Ben Parkinson of Fellowship Memphis finished a series on Ruth (Hope for the Hopeless) with a sermon titled “There Is A Redeemer” taken from Ruth 4. God not only reminded us that Christ, our kinsman-redeemer, rescued us from despair but that He has called us to be redeemers to people in need of relief in our community.

We had a guest speaker. Our church has been around for 20 years but met in about 20 locations over the years. About 2 months ago, we moved into our first permanent home church building. The building is located in Cabrini Green, the site of one of the worst public housing projects in the world. Currently, a gentrification process is underway in Cabrini Green and much of Chicago. Our church has not necessarily been received with open arms in the neighborhood.
Our guest speaker grew up in the Cabrini Green area and spoke on the experiences of his youth and what the people most affected by gentrification feel about it. He showed the phases the church goes through when trying to reach this segment of the community and the timeframes. This was extremely important to our church because part of our vision is to reach our community and the city of Chicago.
I felt Christ was impressing on me why there’s this great divide between the Scriptural reality of the power of God, and the seeming lack of it today (at least in my microcosm).
Our pastor spoke on James 3.Taming the tongue–not as an act of will, but as resting on Jesus to be our justification. Nothing like a sermon that makes you repent. Repeatedly. To pretty much everyone in your life.
living out God’s vision for his counter-cultural, city within a city, so that that world will know what it looks like to love God and care for others.
Forgiveness, and it was very timely for so many reasons.
Forgiveness, and it was very timely for so many reasons.
the presence of God……it is simple…it is real….it is glorious!!!! it is something that we ALL showed long for….
:the presence of God is not a hobby:
Montia spoke on developing the heart of a soul-winner.
The audio and video are the same, the audio is messed up and showing as longer.
That was a great sermon by Louie. So real.
Magnus Perrson spoke at my church. He spoke on grace. How “not now” doesn’t mean “no.” It means not now.
I visited your church yesterday. Haven’t been in a while. It was powerful.
What is my place in the body of Christ? Romans 12:1-8
The podcast I got has a different Ashley story on it. More journal entries are read.
oh word… just listened to the sermon. no dry eyes here either. thanks for sharing that.
Our teaching pastor, Ed Noble, kicked of a new series called Significant – Knowing Your Life Matters. The first part was Significance in Giving. He was talking about how the giving of our time and resources will lend a real significance to our lives, as opposed to the accumulation of “stuff.” Awesome message, awesome pastor, awesome church, awesome God.
