Weekend Wrap Up

-10 Services in 3 locations! Opened up with Europe-Final Countdown!
-Dozens of people accept Christ…thats what I am talking about!
-Colonie opened up and started out with band, standing room only in the first service and the second at 75%
-Music was awesome this weekend, really brought the energy, could feel God in the place all weekend
-Third eye blind concert was happening right beside Clifton park campus, so we invited people in for coffee, restrooms, and a warm place while they were waiting inline. What a cool outreach!
-Buddy’s message really hit home for me being that I was recently married this past summer, all about expectations that you should never set.
-I think we hit a new record for our churched attendance this past weekend as well! I am guessing a little over 3000 people or so!
-Got to meet this Dan Rushing from New Beginnings Fellowship in Albany NY on Friday night. Awesome guy!
-Had the classic easter egg hunt at my parents house, I raked in 44 eggs to de-throne my wife of the championship. I have some serious candy and made 13 bucks. Most of which I gave away!
-Housed some serious food on Sunday as well. I think I ate 6-7 deviled eggs and 7 Reese’s peanut butter eggs…Ohhhhh yeaaaa
- I love the 80’s and I love Bon Jovi…more details to follow!

The way to Live

What if every person you came into contact with; you had the prenotion that God loved them so much he sent his son as a sacrifice for them? What if you treated “that driver that cut you off during rush hour” or “the boss who slammed you with work and negativity all day”, the same as you treat your dear friends and relatives? Can you grasp that idea? How much would this change your day to day actions/thinking/mood?

Grasp this…

“This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins. Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other. No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in us, and his love is brought to full expression in us.”

1 John 4:10-12

It seems like a typical biblical statement that we know all too well. I believe if you really start acting on what it is saying to everyone you come in contact with throughout the day; it will change your life. How is your life being stretched this week? How can you make this mentality a habit in your every day life? Without change there is no growth.

The most powerful agent of growth and transformation is something much more basic than any technique: a change of heart. - John Welwood
