Sunday Recap

Well it was an awesome day at Free Chapel. We had a good attendance which is nice considering Easter was a week before and usually it goes down a lot after that weekend. We had 12 people stand to receive Christ. THAT IS AWESOME!!!! If just 1 stood THAT IS AWESOME!! That is a testimony of God having His way if we let Him and seeing Him do amazing things in the hearts of people. The funny thing is we were doing a video series with Dave Ramsey (Financial Peace University founder) and when Jeremy gave an opportunity at the end to receive Christ I think he and I both were HUMBLY surprised. I'm gonna admit I had a little doubting Thomas in me as I was praying for God to use us and for people to receive Christ earlier before we started the service. Not that I didn't believe it could happen, but there was a part of me saying "Really?? Nah....that couldn't happen through this.....I mean...can God save lost people through a financial series??" But I prayed with the small faith that I had and believed with that same small faith and gave it to Him. And wouldn't you know it.....God moved!!!!!! You know what.....He doesn't need a particular program or series to speak into the heart of a lost person. He just needs a place where His presence is welcome and where we trust with simple faith that He can do the extraordinary, far beyond what we can imagine! His Holy Spirit will do the rest!
Please help us pray for those who trusted Christ yesterday that they will grow in the knowledge of Him and be protected this week. The devil is mad and we need to cover them with prayers.
"Greater is He that is in us, than he that is in the world!" Sorry satan.

Peace

Easter weekend recap

Wow! What a great weekend! God is awesome and He is alive! Just wanted to recap some of the things that went on this past weekend. Friday night I participated along with several guys from church, in reaching out to a local bar. It was part of several types of outreach that we have been doing along with hundreds of other churches across the country called Servolution. So at 2am we were in the parking lot of the bar serving those who were leaving with free hot pizza and bottled water and teeling them that they matter to God. Most people were very curious as to why in the heck we were out there. Actually had several WTF's if you know what I mean. And that did not come in the form of a text message!. Ha. One guy told me in all the years that he had been partying and going to this bar he had never seen anybody out there doing what we were doing. Overall it was a great reception by those that our team were able to interact with. Matter of fact the owner of the bar said that we were welcome anytime!!! Praise God for that!! It was an awesome night! Sunday we had a great service at Free Chapel. We had a great crowd! Lots of visitors! The music was awesome! The message was powerful! Everything went very well despite a microphone glitch that happened mysteriously during the beginning of the service. Funny how Satan thinks he can distract us and keep God's work from happening. But guess what El Diablo....DENIED!!!! Don (our lighting guru and engineering animal) jumped right in and got it working without us missing a beat. Thanks Don!! And thanks to ALL our wonderful volunteers! You guys rock! We pray that God will help us to continue being a church that is life-giving and we are so thankful for those that He has sent us and continues to send to us. Cant wait till next week!

Greater Things Are Still to Be Done

So lots of things have been happening since my last blog. Sorry for the long absence. God has been doing great things at Free Chapel. Worship has been great. The band does an awesome job. Jeremy has been doing a great job bringing the word. Our volunteers are HARD workers. We have had many visitors in the past few weeks and have been able to serve the community in various ways. Last weekend a group of men from the church served pizza and water to two local bars at 2 a.m. in the morning. Greeting people s they were coming out from a night a partying. The following day we had several volunteers serve the people of Lakeway and Bee Cave at the annual Easter Egg hunt. We passed out waters which turned out to be a huge hit considering it was a hot day! These are just a few ways that we as a church are showing the love of Christ to our community and serving them in a manner that would glorify the name of Christ! We still have much to accomplish here as we have only scratched the surface of possibilities. I believe greater things are still to be done here!
