Sunday Wrap-up

• Here’s the Slideshow from today.
• In a change from last week, I was clean shaven and no longer sunburned. As a result, Quality of Life on this Sunday is much better than the last.
• Jesse, Chris, and Kelly have the first wrap-ups out. It’s Kelly’s Sunday Wrap-up debut so tell her hello. For whatever twisted reason, everyone’s Sunday reviews are named after food. Weird…it mostly just makes me hungry.
• David Corrado has a few pictures from the 4th that are worth checking out.
• Audio is here. Vimeo takes a while to render. Once it’s done, Jesse and his crew qill have it up here as well.
• It rained like crazy today. Buckets….mega rain. So far in the theater, we’ve done a service using only the emergency flood lamps and candles.
• Today, the lights only flickered briefly at the beginning of the 10:30 service.
• The cool thing about that is it reset the theater auto-schedules which set off the theater projector running the previews…didn’t last too long thought.
• I enjoyed the new setup…looked great. Our setup crew does a really good job and they do it fast…got to love that.
• Today, I talked about temptation as we finished off Philippians 2.
• Your mind is an airport. Temptation is an airplane. You can’t control whether the airplane lands or not. You can decide whether or not you will refuel it and go for a ride.
• Discipleship happens in community. We don’t mature by retreating. We mature by surrounding ourselves with people who know us, know our struggles, and know Jesus.
• If we give them access to our lives, the Holy Spirit can and will use them to help us grow.
• There are also some struggles that are only go to be overcome by praying and fasting.
• And, with all that said, temptation is here to stay…until the day you die. You simply need the power of God functioning in you to “guide you” in running away from it.
• We run away from temptation. We resist the devil.
• Don’t try to prove your will power by facing down temptation. You’ll lose. Just avoid it and/or run away from it.
• I ran out of time in both services. I need more time or I need to stay a bit more disciplined.
• Since we’re on a tight schedule in the theater, there is no “running over”…only running out of time.
• We got to some Q&A…two questions.
• It was a good day. I’m on my way now to finish it out at home with my fam…might have to pull out another already-been-seen movie and close it out with mind numbing rest. Peace.
