Recharged

There's nothing like vacation. My family and extended family (all 14 of us) just spent a week @ Bald Head Island. There really isn't anything to do but to golf and swim, two things I don't know how to do (I know, I'm weird). I spent a lot of time doing nothing but hanging out with my kids, reading some books, and playing spades with the guys. I feel totally recharged to do what God has called me to do. I really didn't do too much thinking about the church. I did do a lot of reflecting though about how far God has brought me and my family from a year ago. It's hard to imagine that 365 days ago planting a church was just a thought and a dream, and now in just 11 days it will be a reality.

I really have no idea what to expect, but if the next 365 days are like the last 365 days, I cannot wait. It will be an adventure.

God's providence

When God led me to name our church, Providence Church, I had no idea how many time's His hand of providence would guide us and direct us as we've started this new church. From how we found a meeting place to the provision of all the chairs we needed (Thank you Northside!!), God keeps writing our story. Tonight I anticipate hanging over 5,000 doorhangers on homes all across the Denver area (Thank you again Northside!!!). It is my prayer that God will guide and direct just the right people to our church.

I believe that many people in Denver and all over the world are hungry for truth. They are hungry for the answers to life that will lead them to a real and living God, Jesus Christ. Pray with me tonight that we can spark some interest into people's minds to let God write their story, and may He always recieve the honor and glory for whatever happens.

Letting God write your story

Letting God write your story…

If you were to write your life story out, what would it look like? It’s an intriguing question because very few of us take time to reflect over the course of our existence and ask ourselves, “What have I accomplished?” or “What impact have I made in this world?” We all strive for significance whether it’s in our jobs, families, or hobbies, but who will remember you or your story once you’ve left this world? Our stories last, if we are fortunate, for a few decades and then it is ended.

At Providence Church, it is our desire to help you let God write your story. The great story of God and His love spans the generations of time. It is a story that was significant 2,000 years ago, and it is still meaningful today. The only way we can find true purpose and joy is when we join the great story of God.

Every life has a story. Who’s writing yours?
