We had another awesome day yesterday.
1) Our attendance jumped back to over 100. Why? Have no clue. Still learning the patterns of our community.
2) We finished up Part 3 of our Tough Love series, The Art of Confrontation. When a person sins or commits a trespass we ignore it to avoid causing any “friction” or keep it bottled in for so long that we end up approach the person the wrong way. It also easy to talk about the situation and person to others than to actually go to the person. The Art of Confrontation is when we lovingly approach someone who has sinned for the purpose of restoring them. It’s not to get our feelings off our chest. It’s not to give them a piece of our minds. It’s to help them see the error of their ways and reconnect with God. I gave three stages for confrontation based on Matthew 18. The podcast message should be available by Wednesday.
2) I followed a “hunch” that I had on Saturday evening and decided to do a First Time Guest Connection Meeting. I’m so glad we did. We had about ten people that came to hear a five minute presentation about The Bridge and how they can get connected. I saw light bulbs turning on above some of their heads. Good stuff.
3) Our staff was on point. Greeting and seating were awesome. Transitions were smooth. Alex, the worship team, and band were smoking. Glad to see that our systems were flowing smoothly on such a big day.
4) Our Creative Team met yesterday. Jackson is doing a great job leading that team. We did some more brainstorming for our next series called iPower. It will begin on Easter.
