Sunday Review....

1. Pastor Steven had not preached a sermon live for several weeks. Let me just say, he tore it up!! His sermon was about David tending sheep on the back 40 while the rest of the family was advancing. He used that text to encourage people who feel like everyone else in the world is moving forward except them....the (3) big sermon points:
1. Be faithful - Obedience creates opportunities;
2. Be confident - God uses your faith to prepare you, but it's often developed in obscurity;
3. Be yourself - David tried on Saul's armor before fighting Goliath, but took it off and used his sling and 5 stones he put in his shepherd's pouch;

2. We had a ton of First Time Guests, our big blue tent was handing t-shirts out hand over first!! Great job Elevators, keep inviting!!

3. Great attendance day as well!!

4. Pastor Steven wore an Elevation t-shirt on stage during the first service worship experience...the resource table sold out of that shirt very quickly.

5. We had one of our Ground Level Network churches in last night and they'll be back at the office today to spend time with our staff. Pastor Daniel and his team from Lifepoint were prepared...started the night with Bojangles and finished 5 hours later and barely made a dent in the list of great questions. I'm telling you, as he leads his staff through the next shifts they are facing they are going to blow up!!

6. I'm a little tired this morning, my son didn't want to sleep last night so my pregnant wife and I didn't get much sleep!! It's all good, Monday is my second favorite day of the week!!
