Baptisms

Two weeks ago we had a baptism service. Since we meet at the Owasso 10 Theater we had to borrow a baptistry from another church. Calvary Missionary Baptist Church was kind enough to let us use theirs. It was an awesome night. Here are some pictures of the baptisms.

We kicked off a new series in Philippians last week. We are going to learn and see examples of how we can experience joy regardless of our current circumstance.

Week 1: Joy In Uncertainty
Week 2: Joy In Suffering
Week 3: Joy In Loneliness
Week: 4: Joy In Death
Week 5: Joy In Humility
Week 6: Joy In Temptation
Week 7: Joy In Conflict
Week 8: Joy In Exhaustion
Week 9: Joy In Anxiety
Week 10: Joy In Poverty

Sunday In Review

We had a great day Sunday. Here are some thoughts...

• We kicked off a new teaching series - Experiencing Joy.
• Looked at Paul's 2nd Missionary Journey - Paul, Silas, Timothy, and Luke.
• Sometimes we forget that even an apostle, writer, church planter, etc... didn't know where to go.
• We make plans. We may decide this is where we would like to go next but....God may change our plans. We need to be ready for God to move in our life and if necessary get uncomfortable.
• God sends this mission team to Philippi and they end up getting thrown in prison. Living for God won't always be easy...at times it may be flat out difficult. Hang in there. God sees beyond our current circumstance.
• The mission team has been beaten, their feet are in stocks. It's midnight....they pray and sing. They experience joy in the midst of uncertainty - what a response!!
• We had a really good crowd Sunday.
• I've never been in the Lifepoint Kids' environments during class but every week I hear kids talking about how great their class was.
• I love watching more and more people jump in and help break everything down each week.
  

Sunday In Review

Great Sunday @ Lifepoint. Here are a couple thoughts:

• Jimmy preached about David from 1 Samuel before he confronts Goliath.
• Dustin and Barry lead one of the best times of worship we've had since Lifepoint began. It may have made a difference that Jimmy Hammond was right behind me singing like each song was his last.
  
• The Eby family came for church membership.
• We tied our attendance record. It is the second time in 4 weeks we have had over 50 people in our Sunday Service...very exciting.
• As Collin and I welcomed people at the front door at one point I looked across the crowd of people that was making their way to the "theatuary." I just thought, "Thank you God for these people and what you are doing in our church."
  
• We had the 2nd annual hayride Sunday night. Around 40 people showed up and we had a blast together.
