ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT:

I heard Pastor Dave Stone from Louisville preach last weekend. He was amazing as he mixed humor, scripture and story-telling to share his message. Pastor Stone retired at 58 from one of the largest churches in the country as he felt his church of 30,000 people needed new, younger leadership with fresh ideas; Dave is reinvigorated by speaking at conferences, missions like KARM, etc.

He strives to remember everyone’s name at the meeting. He’s unbelievable so I wanted to share a few things…

Home is where the heart is…we’re often so at peace when we’re at our home, our bed, etc. If we live with purpose and serve and worship God, we will be at our forever home, Heaven.

We need to live with a sense of urgency. Don’t let the good things on Earth crowd out the best thing which is Jesus. He missed the opportunity to have dinner with Gary Player because he didn’t pay attention to what time dinner started, took his time, got ice cream and missed an hour with his favorite golfer. He wasn’t comparing Player to God but said many of us focus on lots of things that take us away from our relationship with our savior.

“At birth, we look like our parents; at death, we look like our decisions.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT:
I shared about a moment in my life where I decided to take the Jesus stuff seriously. A portion of my testimony if you will. I asked some rhetorical questions of the group.
– What do you believe about the Jesus stuff?
– Do you think this is important?
– Are you ready to share with others?
– If so can you share it in a concise manner so that your audience doesn’t get lost in the unpracticed ramblings?

Don’t keep your story a secret. Share it with others. Share it with people you have a relationship with already. Your audience will listen if they like you so remember that your character matters. Jerks are not taken seriously.

“….Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,”
‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭3‬:‭15‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Be ready to tell your story.
