I cannot believe how incredible Sunday was. We had our first service and I didn't stress, things didn't blow up, and people showed up!! When I rolled up at 8:00 am things were hopping. Our hostesses greeted me very enthusiastically. Things were ninety percent ready to go an hour and a half early! And remember, this was our first Sunday. We had no problems. God's favor and presence is awesome. We had someone commit to following Christ! (For all of you church folk-they got saved!) Park West truly supported us. We must have had a hundred people from PW just to support this first Sunday. Again, I was truly amazed at the attendance. The worship was incredible. People truly worshipping and rejoicing. Hands raised, jumping, weeping and pressing in. The emails keep pouring in of people God touched and ministered to. Some felt the Holy Spirit for the first time in their lives! Others, that are seasoned, stated its some of the best worship they have ever experienced. I tell you, it is amazingly easy and enjoyable to speak after worship like that. That's what I am used to @ PW. Sunday felt natural, like that's what I was born to do, like we had done it for years already. (Except it is still totally exciting!) Well, I hope you keep showing up, yeah you, but You too. We really need God to show up. Without Him there is no Presence, there is no changed lives, just talented and entertaining music and motivational speaking. We really must have Him there at every moment. From set-up to tear down, He is the most important. For with God all things are possible. The Chazown He has given will come to pass, without Him even my earthly plans will fail. Without you then it simply becomes a small group thing of PW people. We want to be God's missionary outpost to advance the kingdom of God and destroy the works of the enemy. Help us connect people to the God that cares deeply for them.
We have many opportunities to serve, Gear team, media team (if you can double-click your mouse and read this then you can learn our media program), sound team and small group leadership. We will soon be launching weekly small group meetings. Contact me if you are interested in serving in any of these areas. Jeremy@turkeycreekchurch.org
God bless you.
