A Fast Friday

April 10, 2009 in GOD, Life Change with 1 Comment

Today we celebrate Good Friday which is the Friday of Holy Week. It commemorates the crucifixion and death of Jesus.

I fast each year on Good Friday to remember Christ’s sacrifice for me. And this year, the whole TCC staff is fasting from all food, all day in order to spend extra time focusing on God before this BIG weekend.

Would you join us in focusing on God today? Its simple. Skip your meals and spend the entire lunch and dinner hours with God in place of eating. I think you’ll be surprised at how fast an hour with God goes by. Just get on your knees and spend time with Him.

On Good Friday, Jesus agonized on the cross for six hours. My favorite part of the story that we celebrate today is when the centurion on guard at the crucifixion declares, “Truly this was God’s Son!” (Matthew 27:45-54.)

Jesus was God’s only Son and He gave Himself for every one of us. Focus on that today.

  • SERIOUSLY PUMPED about church tomorrow. I had one of those weeks that just went on forever…seems like a month since we last had church.
  • PUMPED about it being spring break. Not sure why. I’ll just be at the office working away…
  • PUMPED that John Maxwell went to jail. Well, not pumped, but its cool that he shared about it. Many leaders would hide something like that.
  • PUMPED that I got to spend a ton of time with Couper this weekend.
  • SUPER PUMPED about our very first ever Good Friday Service.
  • PUMPED about God’s most wanted!
  • PUMPED about the BIG HUNT this year. NEW VENUE!!!
  • NOT PUMPED about how behind I am on this.
  • NOT PUMPED that its still stinking cold and wet outside. AHHHH! The weather ruined my weekend plans, but we need the rain bad.

Sunday Mind Dump

March 23, 2008 in Mi Vida Loca, The Connection Church with 1 Comment

Mind Dumpage…

  • Today was absolutely amazing!  God is good!
  • Jesus Christ has conquered death for you and for me!
  • We had a TON of decisions for Christ today.  THAT is what it is all about.
  • Over 700 people at The Connection Church today!  INCREDIBLE!  Connectors, keep inviting people as we ramp up to the PAC.  You can use this if you want…
  • Did you hear the band play U2′s “Yahweh” today?  WOW!  And that video that synced with the song was amazing!
  • The general estimate for the Big Hunt attendance I am getting from everyone is 5,000 people.  INSANITY!  I can’t believe the cops didn’t shut us down just for traffic concerns.
  • I met people at the hunt from San Antonio and from Round Rock.  Connectors, that is a 98.6 mile stretch.  It’s stuff like this that shows us we are tracking with our God given vision of being a regional church for the I-35 corridor.
  • I have already began working on the sermon for April 13th on the topic of fame.  Don’t miss church that day…it’s our last Sunday at Tobias Elementary and we are going to ROCK THE DOORS off of that place and leave with a BANG BANG BANG!
  • Can you believe that we are going to The PAC in a few weeks!?!?!? YESSSSS!
  • Pray for our teams and our staff as we ramp up for the big move.  Let the madness begin.
  • If you aren’t involved in this, get involved now.    Why?  Because this is one of the most amazing moves of God in a 3 year old church that I have ever seen anywhere…
  • Send me pictures of your big hunt sunburns so I can post them this week.  E-mail to zak AT zakwhite DOT com.
  • Why do I love twitter so much?
  • Excited about this book.
  • I am wondering what the heck happened to Gary.  Gary, JUST SAY IT!  :)
  • Still hacked about the helicopter getting shut down.
  • We might use our flight credit to skydive for a future sermon series.  I can already hear Cole screaming like a 6th grade girl alllllll the wayyyyyy downnnnnnn.  :)
  • My dad and mom had to put their dog to sleep yesterday.  Da-o and Ma, I love you guys.  It’s going to be fine.  I prayed for you several times yesterday and today.  You did the right thing.
  • Know anyone that needs a nice car for a great price?
