- The Best Summer of Your Life... So Far

Share Your Story!

I think we can speak for everyone when we say WOW. God showed up big time at Champions Centre over these past few days.

252 Conference was incredible; life changing, watershed moments with encouraging and motivational messages from our very own pastors Jodi Gerald-Cameron, Brandon Stewart, Samuel Deuth and Todd Griggs, as well as amazing guest speakers! Pastor John Morgan and Alli Munsey brought the word, and John Gray BROUGHT DOWN THE HOUSE - almost literally - when he challenged and inspired the JOSIAH GENERATION in us all.

Please take a moment and share with us your defining "watershed moments" at conference this year: the moment in time where you were forever changed. Share your experiences, favorite moments, revelations, broken chains... what did 252 do for YOU?

And what about FUEL? Pastor Kevin Gerald, Dr. Dr. Jim Reeve, Jentezen Franklin, Paul de Jong, Kent Munsey and John Gray spoke into our lives over the past three days, we spent a night of worship and prayer with Leeland and saw 150+ decisions for Christ.. we walked away forever changed from Fuel 2009, each and every one of us. Please take a moment and share your story by commenting below!

Thanks to all our amazing volunteers, and incredible leadership - Kevin and Sheila Gerald, without you, this week wouldn't have been possible. Thank you for investing your all into the lives of your church family. We're eternally blessed!

John Grey Inspires the JOSIAH GENERATION!

Don't miss it - we're moving The Best Summer of Your Life right where it should be: OUTDOORS! We've got a great word coming from Pastor Samuel, so get ready...

And! Get there early to grab your seat in a chair before you are banned to the grass or curb! :) That's right... there's limited seating! So don't be late!

Worship, sunshine, friends, kiddie pools, family, water guns and the Word! Does it get any better than that? No, really... does it?

We'll leave you with just a very small taste of last year's outdoor service - it was such a blast!

Best worship of your life....so far (how?)

With tonight's, "Night of Worship" at @bestsummersofar, I wanted to share a couple thoughts on how to have the "best" worship of your life...so far.

First of all Remember that...
- worship is not a performance, so be yourself.
- worship is not a rigid routine, but a ever changing creative display of your heart toward God!
- worship is not a skill to get "good" at.
- worship is not just us singing really loud "at" God, but its time spent with God.
- worship releases God's power into your daily life!
- worship is amazing at church, but is also amazing in your car/home/shower.
- worship is the NATURAL overflow of our thankfulness for what Jesus did/does for us!
--- and --- worship doesn't require legit vocals! (thank God for that!!)


Worship simply defined is: Expressed Love & Devotion
Every time you worship Him, you make a statement about your life, you make a statement about who you trust and you make a statement about who your devoted to!

If worship then is a declaration of your devotion to God. Im challenging myself and all of us to evaluate our worship.
And determine to make our worship a true reflection of our devotion to God!

1 Chronicles 22:19
19 Now devote your heart and soul to seeking the LORD your God.

Lets come ready and full of expectation for what God wants to do when this generation unites to make that declaration that our & worship & our lives are devoted to Jesus!

See you tonight!
Pastor Samuel
