Today is…
My wife Carie and my cousin Jake at Moe’s
Today I watched and participated as my cousin Jake, entertained and lead our church in worship. It was amazing! Jake is so talented and I have been enjoying having him around so far this weekend. If you haven’t heard his music, I’d encourage you to check it out.
Today I was able to preach on Proverbs 9:10 – “The Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
Today I rapped (actually a lip sync) in front of a group of parents and their children as Fellowship Church presented their first shared worship experience called, “The Family Experience”. This afternoon I received this email:
I just wanted to thank you all for the wonderful FAMILY EXPERIENCE today. Thank you for loving our kids…for sharing God’s love with them….for doing it joyfully…I can’t say enough about what it meant to me today. I also had the opportunity to use a lesson learned as we were leaving and ___________was telling me how a kid at school hit her with his backpack after she mistakenly dropped hers on his foot. I didn’t go through with all Carie’s “motions” , but was able to talk to her, and apply what we’s just learned TOGETHER …as a family. __________ was talking about how much she loves our church with some neighborhood kids whose family has stopped going to church because it’s too boring(they’re Catholic). They said how our church sounded great, especially when we shared with them that our pastor came out as a rapper(__________ loved that part and the neighborhood boys really wanted to see that!)
Anyway I just wanted you to know how much we truly appreciate the time & care put into today’s event! We look forward to more…
Today I received this text message:
Congrats. Today was amazing. I’m so proud of you and what you’ve done with our church. Blessed be to God.Today was a good day!

Awesome. This has been a great end of the summer and a great start on the fall. Changes and beginnings can be scary but we keep doing what we know we need to do, leading people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ, at all costs. I love the part that says “our church.” It really is the place where so many come together, learn together, minister together, talk together, laugh together, love together, grow together, fight together, sacrifice together…fellowship together. Great work team!
Marty – I was really glad to be there to see the Family Experience – it is such a powerful vision of what God is doing for Fellowship Church and the families that go there. Can’t wait to see how this works in people’s lives!
is that on youtube yet?
