Today was awesome! The highlight by far was that one person at Oasis Church gave their life to Christ today! That is so freakin' awesome! That brings the total to 4 people who have given their lives to Christ since we launched 14 weeks ago! I feel like we have been going for years and yet I feel like we just started last week. I am sooooo full of excitement for what God is doing in our presence. Steven Cathcart led worship today and I must say that he did a fantastic job. I've known Steven for years and I love him dearly. He has more musical talent in his pinky toe than most people have in their whole body. I absolutely LOVE that he has a desire to use his talent for God's glory. Today we began our series entitled "Practical Atheist". What is a practical atheist you ask....? A practical atheist is someone who believes in God but lives as though He doesn't exist. A recent Gallup poll has shown that some 94% of Americans believe in God or some form of God. Yet, how many people actually live as though they believe in Him? This is a huge issue in the American church. Here are a few random thoughts from today.
-So many of us claim to know God, but our actions tell a completely different story.
-God expects us to strive for perfection, but He doesn't expect us to attain perfection... That's what Jesus is for.
-Someone gave their life to Christ today!
-We can so easily miss who God is due to our blind conceit.
-Our volunteers ROCKED IT OUT today!
-I love our volunteers!
-I love our staff!... As always, I'm am looking forward to this weeks staff meeting.
-Hell is one person less crowded today!!
-If you are really all in with God, instead of fixing your life, He will ruin it... In a really good way!
-We have got to understand what it means to fear God.
-If you missed today, listen to the podcast. www.ocgreenwood.com then click on Podcast.
-We saw salvation take place first hand today!!!
-Many people made a renewed commitment to God today! AWESOME!
-I absolutely LOVED the new bulletins today. Eric did a fantastic job on them.
-I love how our volunteers own the call that God has placed on their lives.
-Jesus took on YOUR SIN!... Yes YOURS!
-If you are coming to Oasis next week BRING A FRIEND!... or 10, it could change their eternity!
-Remembering a quote from this week, "People aren't looking for friendly churches, they are looking for friends." Oasis, it is soooo imperative that we be completely real with people!
-We've got camping for cans coming on Dec. 4-5th!
-God is AMAZING!
