Saturday Night Shots
So Hard to Say Goodbye
Today was my last day on staff at The Connection Church. A lot of things are going through my mind. I think this song sums it up perfectly. I know its about a friend that passes away, but I literally feel like a part of me has died. Now its no secret. I’m not only a closet Mariah Carey fan, but I also LOVE Boys II Men…
How do I say goodbye to what we had?
The good times that made us laugh
Outweigh the bad.
I thought wed get to see forever
But forevers gone away
Its so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.
I dont know where this road
Is going to lead
All I know is where weve been
And what weve been through.
If we get to see tomorrow
I hope its worth all the wait
Its so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.
And Ill take with me the memories
To be my sunshine after the rain
Its so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.
And Ill take with me the memories
To be my sunshine after the rain
Its so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.
Last Saturday Night Shots?
So this could be the last edition of Saturday Night Shots for a while since tomorrow is my last official Sunday with TCC. Oh wait, I’m preaching in Schertz the following week…
- PUMPED about slowing down for a few tomorrow and spending some time with my family. Life is go go go go right now. Can’t say that I’ve honestly focused in a few weeks.
- PUMPED that I might even watch some baseball tomorrow. Yeah right…
- PUMPED that I get to hear Pastor Nic Burleson preach tomorrow. Seriously, this guy can bring it. God has given Nic the gift of preaching, no doubt.
- PUMPED about all God is doing in our lives right now. He has been loving and faithful to us in so many ways. I still don’t know many of the next steps but I do know that He is in control!
- PUMPED about a meeting with the owner of a possible meeting space for the new church on July 1st.
- PUMPED about my HORNS going to the National Championship. BOOOYAAAHHHH!
- NOT PUMPED that tomorrow is my last Sunday at TCC. It is going to absolutely stink to say goodbye to so many incredible people.
- NOT PUMPED that I will be away from Amber and Couper for almost three weeks starting July 8th. DANG that is going to STINK. No family. No church. No life.
Video Sermons
This past Sunday at The Connection Church we tried something new. We showed a video from the worldwide One Prayer series to our congregation. 35 minutes of Pastor Craig Groeschel on video.
We believe that feedback is the breakfast of champions. So, I’ve been polling people all week on what they thought of watching a sermon on video during a church service. For the most part, people said “it was awesome but I wish he was there.”
My personal opinion is that if its engaging and people are being connected with God then go for it, no matter what the medium is. I don’t watch the news at night and think “man I wish the news reporter was here in the living room telling me about this story.” I’ve been attending church online at Central Christian in Las Vegas every week for several months now and I love it.
What are your thoughts? Do you attend a video venue church or have you ever sat through a sermon on video as a part of a church worship service? Was it engaging? Were lives changed?
