It’s been a couple of weeks since the last Sunday Rewind, and it’s been a long day for sure, but I couldn’t let it pass without recapping the amazing things we saw today at RPC…
- We kicked off One Prayer with a boom! I had no intention of getting as amped up as I did, but I enjoyed it and would do it again. In the first service I kicked over a chair and almost hit a guitar, and in the second I invited people to quit coming if they aren’t going to help us reach others with the message of the gospel. If you missed it, what can I say – you missed it.
- I really truly believe that following Jesus IS the greatest thing that can happen to a human heart. That’s why I won’t apologize for my passion and enthusiasm. If we can’t get excited about Jesus, let’s just close up shop.
- Had a lady named Ruth visit today for the second week in a row, and today she brought her husband with her. They just moved here from Ireland, and they love the church. But that’s not the cool part. She told me today her husband was on staff at a church back home and really got burned and bitter. And today was the first time he’s been in church since. She said it was just what he needed to hear. Felt very encouraged and humbled to be a part of his restoration.
- Set up a couple of counseling appointments this week with folks who are trying to push through some junk and become more effective Christ-followers. Love it.
- The band did a great job as usual, but in the second service they absolutely blew it out!! It was H-O-T hot. Not trying to sound like a groupie, but I’m definitely their biggest fan.
- Just got back from fishing in Tampa. I bought a new used boat on Friday, and tonight was its maiden voyage. I hadn’t really been looking for one, but sometimes a deal comes along you just can’t pass up. And for all you Dave Ramsey freaks: no, I didn’t finance it – cash talks, baby!!
- Don’t forget about our “Drive For Supplies” golf tournament on August 22 to raise money for school supplies for needy kids. Signups will be available this week. And don’t forget about our landscaping evening on July 9th @ 6:30. Don’t sign up for this – just show up.
- This week is shaping up to be a busy one as we finalize the new staff members that’ll be joining us this fall. We’ll make the big announcement August 2nd – don’t miss it!!
- That’s it – can’t keep my eyes open any more. I’ll try to blog more this week…

I had a co-worker come to church with us this week. She seemed to be enjoying the service. I asked her afterward what her thoughts were. She said it was awesome and everybody was so friendly. What I didn’t know was that it was the first time she had been in church in six months!!!
