Catch Up

So I'm sitting in Trav's car heading to Taft to lead worship and I thought that I would blog a little since it's been a while since I posted one.

God has been doing some amazing things in Generation. I'm amazed every week at what God is doing. We finished up our series on Psalm 34 last week by having an outdoor/unplugged night. There's nothing like worshipping God in the midst of His creation. Ellie, Duncan, and Trav did an awesome job with worship. Duncan is fitting right in. He's awesome. Last night was phenomenal!! God showed up big time during worship. We learned a new song called "Wrap Me in Your Arms". Wow!!! Went over awesomely!!

Instead of speaking we did a "Candid Conversation's" night. Lori and I were amazed at the questions we received.

Next week we start a new series called "Contagious Grace". I'm really looking forward to this series!!

Well, that's it for now!! Later!!!

Tuesday Night Reflections

Another amazing night at Generation!!! We opened up with a time of prayer that was amazing!!! God showed up in an amazing way during worship!!

I spoke part 3 of our series on Psalm 34! Spoke on the fear of the Lord. We learned that true Godly fear will produce...

1. Reverence and Awe
2. The feeling of how God feels about sin
3. True repentance

That's it for tonight!! Thanks for reading!!!

Later...

Tuesday Night Reflections

Tonight's encounter wrecked us!!! First worship was off the chain!! Did a new song by Michael Grungor called "Say So" and it was awesome!! Ellie got on the keyboard later on and did "The More I Seek You". Wow!!! A spirit!of prayer hit us...awesome thing is that's what I was speaking on.

So part 2 of Psalm 34. Focused on verses 4-6 and talked about prayer. We discovered 6 types of prayer found in the bible...supplication, intercession, consecration, faith, agreement, and worship. Then we went into Matthew 6 and looked at the Lord's Prayer as a model to pray!

At the end of the night we all came together and prayed for specific needs!! We are entering into something awesome!!!

Tuesday Night Reflections

It's been forever since I've blogged! First, camp was freaking awesome!! God moved and confirmed so much to us as a movement!!

Last week was awesome. We came together to hold each up in prayer!

Tonight was awesome!!! God moved during worship and gave us a word about grace. Wow!!!

We started a series on Psalm 34. We concentrated on verses 1-3. We learned about worshipping constantly, boasting and telling about the good things God has done, and praising God together! Awesome time of worship afterwards during the altar.

Well that's it...Later!!!!

Tuesday Night Reflections

Another Tuesday has come and gone and it was awesome!! Great crowd!! We were finally able to do videos again!! Different type of encounter tonight. We did 2 fast songs to get the students warmed up and then I turned it over to Amy Dobbs and she straight brought it tonight. She spoke on worship...the different types of worship, why we lift our hands, clap our hands, jump, etc. This line blew my mind..."When you opened your mouth and cried your first cry, God heard your voice and said 'I will love that voice forever!' "

She talked about how if we don't praise the rocks will cry out. She them put a line of rocks on the ground and challenged the students to step over the rocks and worship Him with everything that's in them.

She turned it over to the worship team and we worshipped in His presence...

Well that's it!!! Later!!

Tuesday Night Reflections!!!

Tonight was phenomenal!!! First off worship was amazing!! Heaven invaded earth!! I love Ellie!! Her worship is so heartfelt! She led us right into the throne room!

Tonight I didn't preach. Instead, our senior pastor Mark Roberts spoke part 4 of our "Supernatural" series. He spoke on the armor of God!! Wow!!! He brought it tonight...some of his key points were...

"Armor does not cover our backs. We were meant to advance and not retreat!"

"Our feet need to be protected because they are our foundation and they lead us to Jesus!"

There were a lot more, but I can't remember them right now!

That's it for tonight...later!!
