Feeling A Buzz

You know I have to confess something,as you know fathers day is coming up and our church is having our service at Rio Vista park. Along with that were throwing our 3rd annual Papapaloza celebration in honor of all the pops. Well where I'm going with this is when first heard it was going to be at the park I was thinking three things heat,sweat,and more heat,but then God being who he is sat me down put his arm around me and said Ralph,Ralph,Ralph. Yep, it was a time for some setting strait! You see I was reminded that it's just brilliant to have it at the park! Why? Well, I'm glad you asked. IT'S ALL ABOUT PEOPLE! Who would ever have a church service outside at the park on Fathers day! WE WOULD!!!! That's the awesome thing, I mean can you imagine what the community is saying to themselves? Probably the first thing I was thinking. Our church is all about people and meeting them were there at. I think alot of times we get to comfortable and forget that, at least I did. It's an awesome opportunity to reach people just enjoying their afternoon. I've been reading Pop Goes the Church by Tim Stevens and I tell you it's very,very encouraging. There's a chapter that talks about creating a buzz about your church, not for the sake of attention or the spotlight, but to see people give their lives to Jesus and start walking a new path with Him. That's what God reminded me about,that it wasn't about me at all, but about people! So despite the heat and any other thing I could think of, if one person came either to this Sundays service or another and started moving towards God, well then IT'S ALL WORTH IT! So I hope that we catch that buzz and realize the opportunity that totally exists! Are you feeling buzzed yet? Peace out!
