Creative Scribble

Meant to write this Sunday night. Then Monday. Then Tuesday. Now it’s Wednesday and I’m still pumped about what happened on Sunday. And ready for another one!

• This bright idea I had about opening our new church with a series about biblical characters has been a lot of work!
• Thought it would be easy but trying to narrow down to just one simple, life changing point from these dudes has been tough!
• This week was Moses. The point? God has given us what we need to make a difference with our one life. In fact, it’s probably already in our hands.
• Moses had a staff. He used it to turn water to blood, split a sea wide open, keep the Israelites winning a battle, and more.
• We have relationships, experiences, time, talents, finances.
• What is the one thing God has put in your hands already and wants you to use it to make a difference?
• If you don’t have Jesus, then start with that! You can’t make a difference without Him no matter how hard you try.
• This felt like the least energetic of any of our five services to those of us on the “inside.” But then we started getting emails and surveys that it was one of the best. Good to see God working in spite of us!
• Attendance was identical to last week. BIG encouragement because last week we had about 20 people from a sponsoring church there visiting!
• Lots of new volunteers again. Several helping set-up, three helping with kids, and one new greeter.
• 14 first time guest cards turned in on Sunday. So far we’ve had 141. Unbelievable!
• There were FORTY kids and volunteers in our children’s areas! LOTS of little ones running around.
• Had a lot of people tell us their families were home sick. This flu business is rough.
• Announced our next series starting October 11: Break Out. Going to be talking about sin and temptation. Going to be INTENSE!
• Also announced our first community service day this Saturday at Powell High School. Be there at 11 a.m. to help us give back to the school and then eat with us at a cook-out right after.
• Podcast is up and running. Search for “OneLife Church” in iTunes to subscribe. Or watch online at onelifeknox.com.
• Wrapping up One Life Can Make a Difference series this Sunday. Going to be straight up the Gospel as we look at what led Paul to making a difference with his life – a dramatic encounter with Christ! INVITE SOMEONE!!! See ya Sunday.
