Chasing The Wild Goose Weekend

1. It was a hectic weekend at the Lantz home...
2. On Sunday, 8:45am prayer time was good. God moves when His people pray! :)
3. Chad and Lindsay took us out for a late Pastor's Appreciation Dinner. They even took care of a baby sitter (thanks Sarah Fox). Man, was that steak good!!! (thanks Chad and Lindsay)
4. Yesterday, I preached a message titled CONTAGIOUS PURSUIT . . . PART 3 of the "Ekklesia" Series. My goal was to prepare our church for revival by encouraging our people to get out of the cage and chase the Spirit of God. (The Celts called Him "The Wild Goose!")
5. I want our church to know the heartbeat behind why we want to experience revival. This town will not see 10,000 salvations (as prophesied) unless we experience revival. I believe this message was intended for every Christ-follower that calls Life Church their home.
6. Daylight Savings is one of the lowest attended Sundays every year at Life Church. We didn't do too bad this year. Good job Life Church! As always there were exceptions . . . a few families still didn't set their clocks back . . . I laughed at all of them! :)
7. Even with a little lower attendance, the altar time was good!
8. I used a cage from Bluestem for a visual in my message yesterday. I love to illustrate points with videos or visuals. It helps to drive home the point, and it helps people to remember what was said. (Thanks Bruce, over at Bluestem, - you are always so helpful and generous with us as a church.)
9. This coming Sunday, I am preaching about the excitment of a contagious church that is into ministry. I'm really excited to study for this message.
10. This Sunday is "TeamLIFE T-SHIRT SUNDAY"!!! Woohoo . . . now this is going to be a fun Sunday! :)
11. Don't forget Chris and Melissa's wedding this Saturday. What a story of how God has worked in 2 people's lives. They are awesome and it's an honor to do their wedding!
