For clarity, my comment about the message isn't an ego-boost: I know when it's me and when it's the Holy Spirit, and that was a whole lot of Holy Spirit today. That's the goal every Sunday!

Loved meeting a new family who came because of an internet search this morning. Also super-thankful Chris G is taking our website to the next level so we can impact the most amount of people.

Would like the Patriots to win. Not sure why.

I referenced two books in the sermon today: The Meaning of Marriage by the Kellers and Real Marriage by the Driscolls. Get. Both. Books.

Started to preached next week's message on the Person in Marriage a few times but stopped myself. Kinda because I try not to rabbit trail, kinda because I haven't written it yet. But it's gonna be fun, I can't wait to blow up false mindsets about who we marry.

I almost started preaching it right there again.

May or may not have rolled on to the stage like a buffoon.

Rocked Le Boot today, and because I'm out of commission everyone else is having to set up in setup and tear down, and they're rocking it out big time. Our setup team leader, Matt, has done everything we were hoping and more in having a person in charge.

This marriage series isn't for married people; it's about marriage itself. So if you're married, divorced, engaged, dating or single, this will be a series for you.

Felt God led me to add to the sermon after communion, bringing encouragement and love for those who have been divorced. Many times we don't think about how many people are not in their first marriage in our congregations, but the numbers are going up. What I expressed today was that if you are divorced you're not a second-rate member of the kingdom of God. God's not done with you. He's not finished with you. He can overcome any sin to see us saved, so he can overcome any relational past as well. That doesn't mean there won't be issues and hurts and situations to work thought, but THEY CAN BE WORKED THROUGH!
