Here’s some thoughts from today’s service at The Leaf.

• We finished up the Crossing Over series by talking about Joshua’s prayer that made the sun stand still.
• I challenged our people to pray bold and specific prayers…not wimpy, generic ones.
• The band sounded great today…Joel and Will both led.
• What would happen if we started praying for Cartersville’s Ten Most Pagan people to meet Christ?  We could put their pictures up in the office like the wanted posters at the Post Office.  Actually, I never go to the post office so I’m not sure they put those posters up anymore.
• I wore dress pants and a tucked in shirt today.  Most people thought I was either going to a job interview or a funeral after church.  I’ll be back to jeans next week, I’m sure.
• I accidentally said “Joshua’s Farting Men” instead of “Joshua’s Fighting Men.”  I’m sure both groups would have been impressive.
• Next week, I’m going to do a very important message that’s not part of a series.
• On July 20, we’re kicking off a three-part series called “SuperNatural.”  This will also be our first Sunday back at the movie theater.
• I am really excited about where we are as a church right now as well as where we are going.
• About 60 people asked us to join with them in praying about their sun stand still prayer.
• Every week for the past four weeks, someone has indicated that they have prayed to receive Christ in the service.
• We have a baptism at the lake coming up at the end of the month.  It’s one of the coolest events we do.  There’s just something about baptizing people out in public that adds extra meaning.
• If you’re planning on giving to the 250 Project, we’re receiving one special offering on July 20.  Then, the project is over.  A huge thanks to everyone who has given and to those praying about giving.  You’re going to help reach tons of people through church at the movies.
