I had to have the first draft of my Christmas Eve sermon to our teaching team yesterday.
It was hard sledding for a while, but I think it hit a good spot for right now.
I’m so thankful for the process of teaching we use and how helpful it is.
My wife, Katie, preached her first sermon this past Sunday as we continued our series Unexpected: The Story of Christmas. She taught on finding hope at Christmas through the story of Elizabeth.
I’m so proud of her as this was a huge step out for her, but her story fits so beautifully with Elizabeth’s.
If you want to watch or listen to it, you can do so here.
I don’t know about you, but I am excited about the College football playoff this year.
Three teams that could be #1.
It might finally be a good three games in the college playoffs.
Our boys are super excited about the new Star Wars movie.
I told them we need to rewatch the other ones.
I don’t remember what happened.
Guess I’m that age now.
Feels like there are so many movies out now that I want to see.
We’re having a lot of discussion about church culture at our church right now, so it felt timely.
I handed in my first draft of my Christmas Eve sermon yesterday to the teaching team.
Thankful for the insight they give during the teaching process.
Pretty nervous and excited about it.
And I get to do it five times!
This Sunday, we’re going to celebrate all that God has done in our church over the last decade as we get ready to transition to becoming the Southeast Campus on January 5th officially.
We wanted to do it before Christmas break hit so we can make sure people are a part of it.
It’s hard to imagine that we’ve met in 5 different locations over these years and all that God has done.
I’m so thankful for this long, beautiful road He’s taken us on.
And that we’re just getting started as we become one church in multiple locations.
