Gone for God, Gone for Good

Sunday, September 15, I preached a message called, "Gone for God, Gone for Good." It was a great message to share, because it spoke on the truth of Psalm 67, which is known as the missionary Psalm. It talks about how and why God blesses His people, so that He may be known. Included in this message are three stories from people who have been to Kenya, Mexico, and SE Asia this past year sharing the love of God with others. The main thought of this message is, God Works Through people to make Himself known To people. Listen to the message here.

Book Review: Communicating for a Change by Andy Stanley

-->

This is a fantastic book for anyone who wants to become a better communicator. Although I have not read other reviews on this book, my guess is that there are some pious people who dislike Andy and thus discredit his in your face reality about preaching and dismiss this book as nonspiritual. Regardless of naysayers might communicate about this book, it is indeed a great read for preachers who want to be more effective in their communication skills. Through a story and then detailed explanation, Stanley provide 7 Imperatives of Communications. This is worth the read for any preacher, especially ones who would like to improve!

TRANSFORMAITON: A Look at the Life of Peter

TRANSFORMAITON: A Look at the Life of Peter, was a sermon based on the highs and lows of the Disciple/Apostle Peter. His experiences following Christ shows grace in our own failures and successes. Most of all, they show that transformation is a process where God never gives up on His followers!

iPulpit

Today I had the opportunity to meet with Richard Carver, Owner and Senior Art Director for Little Mountain Productions. While we meeting to discuss design and themes for our new children and preschool areas, he introduced me to something new, something awesome, something I have to have… the iPulpit! Basically, you insert your iPad into the pulpit and preach from it directly. The good news for all the tree huggers is that it will eliminate the need to print on paper. For those who are easily distracted by the flipping of notes, that is gone too. For those who love technology, it allows us to maximize what is out there while having a crystal clear screen to read from.
