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!!!!

July 4th Weekend Randomness

Greetings all...

In honor of our Independence, I thought I would post a Randomness blog. Haven't posted one of these in a while. Enjoy...

• What would you do for a Klondike Bar?
• I'm addicted to Twitter...
• Candle Finger & Fire Feet...You have to ask to get that one...
• "My scalp is on fire!!!" Lindsay Piker
• Going to an Angels game on July 11th!!
• "I'm on a boat!!!!!"
• TWSS...
• Hot weather is my mortal enemy...
• I'm craving a cherry-grape sno-cone...
• Can't wait for the fall TV season. It'll be Chucktastic!!
• I've started using Hulu. Wow...who knew that I would get addicted to watching old Miami Vice re-runs...
• I'm craving Sushi really bad and have no idea why!!

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

Tuesday Night Reflections

Here I sit at Chili's after tonight's encounter amazed at how awesome God is!! We met with God during worship. God gave me a word about love. "Greater love has no one than this that one would lay down his life for his friends...." John 15:13!! I shared that His love is overwhelming and has no limits!!

Continued our series on the Supernatural!! We talked about angels and their role. Angels are worshippers, warriors, ministers, and they give direction. Next week Pastor Mark will be preaching part 4 in our series!! Can't wait!!!

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

Tuesday Night Reflections!!

Another awesome night at Generation!!! God blows my mind every week. Ellie started us off in worship. She is a fantastic worship leader!! She took us directly into the throne room!! We did "You Hold Me Now" again...once again that song wrecked us.

Spoke part 2 of Supernatural. Talked about Satan and His Demons! We dove into who Satan is, how he came to be, and how he wants to destroy this generation. We talked about how we have 2 main weapons to fight...the name of Jesus and the Word of God! There's so much more but not enough time to talk about it. Amazing altar time!!!

God is doing somthing!! We have yet to experience everything He has in store for us.

That's it...Later!!!

Tuesday Night Reflections!!

Wow!!! Tonight was amazing!!! First off we had an awesome crowd. Every student was engaged in worship. We learned 2 new songs and they went over great. You Hold Me was awesome! Started a new series titled "Supernatural". We need to understand that there's more going on around us than we can see. Our spiritual eyes need to be opened. The enemy will do anything in his power to keep us from receiving what God has for us and from completing the assignment God has given us. We're in a battle. There's alot more, but I don't have time to write it!! Great altar time!! Next week we dive deeper into who Satan and what demons are!

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

Tuesday Night Reflections...

So this past Tuesday instead of having our normal encounter we had an end of school/graduation party for Generation. We had a blast. We celebrated the end of a long school year, acknowledged our grads, and welcomed the new students who have come up into Generation.

I was able to share something that God had downloaded into me. On our headstones, when we die, will be the year you were born, a dash, then the year you died. God showed me that my life is based on that dash. Did I advance HIs Kingdom? Did my actions reflect Him? Did I do all I could to make His name famous? Is that dash going to be significant. Or will be just another dash? Hope that makes sense.

A quick thanks goes out to the Pikers for opening their home, to Amanda Delgadillo & Lindsay Piker with decorating, and to Gloria Rogers for taking some awesome pictures!! We love all of you guys!!

New series starting this next Tuesday...Supernatural. I'm really excited about it!!!

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

Tuesday Night Reflections

Wow!!! Tonight was so awesome. From worship, to Word, to altar call God's presense was in the building!! We learned a new song tonight called "Holy is Our King. Even during sound check we could feel God all over that song! Went over awesome. Everyone was into it!! I spoke tonight on Living With a Passion!! As Christians, our lives should be full of passion!! We should be zealous and enthusiastic and not living an apathetic life. We need to have a passion for people, a passion for purpose, and a passion for pardon.

Well, that's it for tonight! later....

Tuesday Night Reflections!!

Another awesome night...

•Great crowd!! I didn't expect as many tonight due to graduations...
•We even had 3 visitors!!
•Once again, worship was on point! God's presence was tangible tonight!!
•Did something different tonight! We called tonight's message "Candid Conversations"
•Students were able to text questions for Lori and I to answer.
•The questions ranged from spiritual (How do I determine God's purpose for my life?) to life issues (How will I know when it's the right time for me to date?)
•At the end of tonight's encounter we still had around 6 questions that had not been answered!
•Each visitor said they loved everything and want to come back again!
•We definitely will be doing this again!!

That's it...Later!!!

Tuesday Night Reflections

Another awesome night at Generation...Here are the highlights

• Still having issues with video since we got the new computer, but we'll figure it out.
• Worship was on point...I'm proud of our team...Travis, Ryan, Ellie, Lori, & Trever...They are all great musicians but more than that, they are all worshippers.
• We tried something different last night. God laid a new idea on Lori's heart a few months back and we tried it last night. We split the guys and girls up after worship and just talked about life issues with them.
• God moved in both groups. The one thing each student there last night learned was this; no matter what their social status is , what music they listen too, how they dress, or who they hang out with, they all deal with the same issues.
• I loved the open dialogue. Most of all I loved how one student would open up and another would discuss how they went through the same issue and how God helped them through it.
• Seeing students encouraging and helping each other and letting God speak through them is awesome!!
• I'm really excited about next week!!

That's it for now...Thanks for reading!!! Later!!

Tuesday Night Reflections

Here we go...

•Ellie led worship and did awesome!!
•She captured the heart of God!!
•Finished the Deep Calls to Deep series.
•Spoke on movement. If we don't move we die.
•We have to be led by God, the Holy Spirit. and by authority...
•Going deep is gradual. You can't just dive in.
•God really moved at the end of the message.

Well that's it...Later!!

Tuesday Night Reflections!!!

I'm posting this blog from my IPhone...Here we go...

•Amazing night...
•Rough time during soundcheck. Enemy was fighting but we overcame!!!
•Worship was awesome!!!!
•Travis gave a great word before I spoke!!
•Preached out of Ezekiel 37:1-10.
•We need to speak to the dry bones, connect
to God and to authority, be filled with the breath of God, and be a voice.
•I really didn't know how this word would go with the "Deep Calls to Deep" series but God worked it out!!
•Great altar time!!!

I'm so excited with where God is taking us!!!

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

Randomness...

It's been a while since I've posted a randomness blog so tonight's a good night for one...

• I finally got an IPhone and I love it.
• Turned 33 on 4/19/09. Don't feel any older.
• Tara will win The Biggest Loser.
• Southland is an awesome show.
• I will be upset if NBC cancels "Chuck".
• Domo origato Mr. Roboto.

• I'm going to have a bowl of Honey Comb cereal.
• I'm done!!

Later...

Tuesday Night Reflections...

Yeah...I know I'm a little late...but here they are...Tuesday Night Reflections!!

• God amazes me every week when we meet.
• Worship was amazing.
• There's something about the sound that comes from this generation that gives me chills.
• It's real and authentic!!
• Hearing them sing "Fire fall down" over and over again brought me to tears.
• Ellie, Travis, Trever, Ryan, and Lori are so awesome. I love how God has knit us together.
• Continued the "Deep Calls to Deep" series.
• I thought this would be the last week but God keeps giving fresh revelation.
• Spoke on "The Journey for Deep Things" using Isaiah 6:1-8.
• To access the deep things of God, there's a journey that consists of 5 things...pride has to die. Once that happens, you'll confess your sins, then you'll be cleansed, once sin is out of the way you'll hear the voice of God, and then you'll answer the call.
• Great altar time.

That's it...Thanks for reading...Later!!!

Tuesday Night Reflections...

We've had some great encounters lately. I'm totally amazed at what God is doing. The movement has begun and is going strong!! He's taking us somewhere we've never been.

• Tonight was so awesome...
• Worship was on point. His presence filled the room so thick.
• At one point we stopped playing and just worshiped.
• "Let the fire fall / Let the wind blow / Let the Glory come down...Rest in this place!!"
• So excited at what God's doing in our students.
• God wrecked me yesterday and changed my entire message...
• Continued my series on "Deep Calls to Deep". We talked about "The Price You Pay for the Deep Things".
• There's a price that has to be paid for the deep things of God. You may have to leave your family and friends, break out of your comfort zone, deal with unconfessed sin, and deal with pride.
• We had a fantastic altar call. God was healing, delivering, and restoring different ones. All I can say is WOW!!
• Can't wait for next week!!!

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

Been a while...

OK, so it's been a while since I've posted. Things have been crazy. I'm going to try and get back on track.

Generation is running full force. God is moving and it's blowing my mind. He's wrecking every part of me. We're encountering Him ways that I've never seen. I'm excited about what He's doing. I truly believe that we are on the verge of something great and I can't wait.

Tuesday Night Reflection...

• Another awesome night...
• Had a great crowd...
• Worship was amazing...
• It's so great to see students worshipping with all they have. Basically giving themselves in worship...
• Spoke on the cry that comes from your mouth, the cry that comes from your spirit, and the cry that comes from your heart. We need to make His name famous.
• Altar time was great...
• I get choked up when I see someone giving themselves to Him for the first time.

That's it for tonight. I'm beat. Thanks for reading!!!

Tuesday Night Reflections...

Here we go...

• Last night was amazing!!!! God showed up in a way that wrecked our worlds...
• Worship was on point!!
• I really couldn't worship because God was doing something in me. Thank God for Matt....Thanks bro!!
• Started a new series called "Deep Calls to Deep"...
• God wants us to go deeper. But in order to do so we have to break the box that we're in and get a revelation of who He is.
• Simon Peter got that revelation when Jesus told him to launch out deeper and cast out his nets.
• We need to launch out deeper.
• Altar time was awesome. We lingered in His presence until late. No one wanted to leave.
• I truly believe that there is a John the Baptist annointing on this generation. They are the forerunners that will usher in His coming!!
• I'm tearing up right now just thinking about it. Thank you Father!!!

That's it...Lori wrote an awesome blog about last night...check it out @ lorihight.blogspot.com

New Monitor...

So my good "friend" Todd started giving me grief about my computer monitor (go to terryskiles.com and read the comments under "What is TV Thinking).

So, this is a cry for help. I need a new monitor. I've had my old monitor since 1999. Yeah...I'm having a hard time letting go...Please help me get a new monitor...

Thanks!!!!

Wednesday Reflections of Tuesday Night...

Encounter

Short but sweet...Later!!!

Tuesday Night Reflections

• This event has been a huge success.

Encounter

• Tonight was another wow night...
• Most of the students were really engaged in worship.
• God spoke to me at work today and totally changed what I was going to talk about tonight.
• I spoke on Authentic Worship.
• I brought out that in the Bible worship really didn't have anything to do with music. When you got a revelation of God you didn't write a song, you killed something.
• We need to start killing some stuff during worship. Pride has to die and the opinions of other people need to be killed.
• Altar call was AMAZING!!!!
• God showed up and touched a lot of lives. We worshiped until almost nine and kids still didn't want to leave.

I'm really excited about what God is doing. He gave me this word during prayer tonight, "This is how it starts!!" He showed me that with authentic and pure worship and fervent prayer, we'll awaken a generation!!

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

Tuesday Night Reflections!!

Here we go...

Battle of the Sexes

• Girls finally decorated!!!
• Travis and Amy came out and did our "game show" tonight. Girls won and received 5000 points.
• Guys are starting to catch up though.
• I really think it's going to be tight toward the end.

Encounter

• Tonight was stinkin' awesome!!!
• Everything flowed so well!!!
• God showed up!!
• At one point during worship all music stopped and there was just the sound of students worshipping.
• After worship, Kevin felt that God had given him a word to give. I gave him the mic and he brought forth a word on faithfulness that catapulted us into what God had given me for tonight.
• Spoke on the thought "The Revolution of the Sons of God"
• I truly believe that God is going to use this generation as modern day John the Baptist's to prepare the way for His coming. There's a sound that's going to come out of them that will awaken a generation and to advance His Kingdom on the earth.
• Altar time amazing!!!!!

I'm so excited at what God is doing. He's been speaking to me and Lori about some stuff and we're really excited at what's to come. Well, that's it for now. Thanks for reading...Later!!!

Tuesday Night Reflections

Here we go...

Battle of the Sexes

• Just a couple of weeks left...

Encounter

• Great crowd tonight...
• Worship was awesome. Matt brought in a new song. Went over really well...
• Everyone was really engaged...
• Holy Spirit moved at the end and led me to exhort on the fact that God loves us, the act was He gave his son for us, and the pact (covenant) we have with Him is eternal life. The fact is we love Him, the act is giving ourselves fully to Him, the pact (covenant) is eternal life...
• After that we let lose in worship and God moved.
• Spoke on Real Christianity. When Jesus' hands touch our lives we go from ordinary to extraordinary. The water was ordinary but once Jesus got involved it became extraordinary. Real Christianity is more than 90 minutes a week. You don't really know Him if that's all your giving Him.
• Altar time blew my mind. All I can say is wow...

Well, that's it. Thanks for reading...Later!!!

tuesday night reflections

Greetings all!! Doing this blog from work today. Enjoy and here we go...

Battle of the Sexes

• It's heating up...
• Guys are trying to catch up but the girls keep moving forward...
• Lori and I got 2 awesome poems from the girls last week...
• Challenged the guys to get together and write Lori a poem and recite it to her. I'll give them 2500 points for it.
• This event has been a blast.

Encounter

• Been sick so I was really weak last night so Ellie and Matt lead worship. They did an awesome job.
• God was speaking to me after worship and I wanted to let the students know that if you draw near to God, He'll draw near to you. The key is we have to take the first step toward Him.
• Finished up The Warrior series. We talked about "The Mark of a Warrior!"
• We learned that whenever you encounter God The Father, God The Son, or God The Holy Spirit; you have to change. We all have scars and all scars tell a story. Jesus' scars have changed the world.
• I told the students that I will not trust a leader if they don't walk with a limp or have battle scars.
• 3 Marks of a Warrior were (1) A Radical Encounter with God (2) A Name/Identity Shift (3) A Hunger for the Lost
• Great altar time.

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

Tuesday Night Reflections

Battle of the Sexes

• Spirit tonight was great...
• Girls came dressed in 80's garb and the guys all had orange shirts on...
• Girls are still in lead...
• All the guys bought all the girls Crushes tonight...
• Guys took a page from the girls book and gave me a custom towel to use. It was a ShamWow!!

Encounter

• We had a great night...
• Worship was really good as always. We really engaged during the last song.
• Lori shared a dream that God has given her. To some that may sound hokey and super spiritual, but I truly believe that God still gives people dreams.
• Go to her blog. She posted it. lorihight.blogspot.com
• Message went over well. Part 4 of my Warrior series. Tonight was the topic "Warriors Come Out to Play." God has called us to run toward the enemy. But sometimes we're afraid even thought the King of the Universe is on our side. We talked about how God has called us to awaken a generation.
• God lead a few of us to stay and pray for a while. You could feel His presence strong.

Well, that's it for tonight. Thanks for reading...Later!!!

Tuesday Night Reflections...

Here we go...

Battle of the Sexes

• We're having so much fun...
• The guys are totally getting into the decorating thing. They've turned their side of the building into a man cave.
• Asked one of them what their inspiration...His answer...Chuck Norris!!!
• Girls have something up their sleeves. They're getting sneaky.
• Got a Starbucks Mocha Frap tonight from the girls and a towel for me to wipe my face with during worship and preaching. They got major points for that.
• Girls are ahead, but the boys are coming back.

OK captains, your task this week is to get as many pics of multiple team members with Pastor and Kim. The catch, they can't know that you're taking them. You or your team mates have to be looking at the camera.

Encounter

• Another awesome night.
• Worship was fantastic
• Great crowd. Most of them engaged in worship and seeking His face.
• Preached part 3 of "The Warrior" series.
• Tonight I spoke on "Prepare for Battle". Two ways to prepare....(1) submit to authority. There are 3 types of authority that are spoken about in the Bible that we need to follow; government, parental, and spiritual (2) We need to face and overcome fear. Fear is something that distracts.
• Seemed to go over very well.

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

Friday Night Randomness...

Got some time so I decide to post a randomness blog...Here we go..

• I haven't done one of these in a while!!
• Lori informed me that she wants to start eating healthy and organic...DEAR GOD NO!!!
• Gayle...you're being a bad influence...(j/k)
• New season of Friday Night Lights started tonight. Yippee!!!
• I'm getting an IPhone. I've worn Lori down. I'm another step closer.
• I'm going to be out of high school 15 years this year...
• OK, that was very random...even for me...oh well...
• I'm craving Lucky Charms right now...
• I about dislocated my shoulder playing "Clone Wars Light Saber Duels" with my nephew. I still beat him though.
• Couldn't move my right arm the next day.
• I can't think of anything else...

I'm out...Later!!!

Friday Night Lights

Lori and I just finished watching the season 3 premiere of Friday Night Lights. I have to admit that this is my second favorite TV show next to Smallville. I'm so glad that it's back. Just thought I'd share.

Have a great weekend...That's it!!!

Later...

Tuesday Night Reflections!!!

Ready for bed so here we go...

Battle of the Sexes

• Week #2 of Battle of the Sexes was great. Students are really getting into it and I have to give mad props to the team captains for pumping everyone up.
• Matt and Amanda are great hosts. Their recap promo was hilarious.
• So far guys are ahead in point totals, but I'll get an update tomorrow from Amanda and see where we're at.
• We had an awesome crowd tonight. I truly believe that by the time we're done with this, we're going to have the building packed out.

Encounter

• God amazes me more and more...
• He showed up in a way that none of us have ever felt in one of our encounters tonight...
• Worship was off the chain. Tyler and Travis' dual solo was fantastic.
• Students were fired up from the get go.
• Ellie really spoke an awesome word during worship. So proud of my daughter!!!
• Continued with my series on "The Warrior". Spoke on "My Adversary". This was a message about Satan and how we are at war with him. He tries to distract us with little insignificant battles so that our minds are not focused on the big battle.
• Great time in the altar's. A spirit of intercession hit and we fought through prayer and praise for people.
• Had a visitor tell us that she loved the power she felt tonight.

OK, that's it for tonight...

FYI team captains, your challenge for this week is to get pictures with as many team mates as you can. Go to their houses, at school, at church. Wherever you can. You will get 50 points per picture. (example...Kevin w/Rico or Lindsey w/Feli). You can't have any duplicates.

Wednesday Night Reflections of Tuesday Night

Lori and I have both been sick the past few days. Well, I've been sick since December. So last night I got home and by the time I had settled down from the night I was wore out and needed to hit the sack. So with that, here's an Wednesday night reflection of Tuesday night...

• Started off Battle of the Sexes...
• The team captains are competitive and I like it. They were a tad discouraged with people's attitudes regarding it, but they got over it quick.
• Lori stayed home sick so Ellie filled in on the drums. She did a great job.
• Matt Delgadillo had to lead worship. I barely had any voice to preach.
• Love Matt. My bud!!!
• Started my new series entitled "The Warrior". Talked about how Jesus said he didn't come to bring peace but to bring a sword. My favorite line was..."He's started a revolution over 2000 years ago that is still going on." The title of the message was "The Cause and the Cost". In 1 Sam 17:29 "Is there not a cause?" Once we realize what the cause is we need to count the cost. The biggest cost is our lives.
• Can't wait to for next week. I'm speaking on "The Adversary". Who is our enemy?

Well, time to go get knocked out by about 3 shots of NyQuil. Later...
