Can Hardly Wait!

Strep has left the building. It's great to be back in good health and I'm now so pumped up about this Sunday at EFBC that I can hardly wait! I really believe God's going to do some INCREDIBLE things this weekend, and I'm excited about what He has in store for us.

This week's message will be the third in our series Things Jesus Said. We're looking at some of the more unusual or interesting passages that came from our Lord. This week's message is taken from Luke 18:18-27 (in case you want to read ahead) and is entitled Who Then Can Be Saved. We'll be studying a portion of Scripture that I believe has been misrepresented by a lot of teachers and preachers, and I hope this Sunday we can set the record straight about what Jesus was saying here.

God's still up to something here at EFBC. We had another great Wednesday night, and I was once again blown away by the people God is sending our way. I read recently that we shouldn't worry about numbers, but rather about souls. And that is true, but I will NEVER stop rejoicing in the "numbers" God is bringing our way, because every single number represents a soul.

In fact, we'll celebrate another soul saved this Sunday morning with baptism. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I hope we wear that baptismal pool out. We may be trying to cut back on expenses, but the water bill is one expense I'd like to see go up! I hope our water bill goes so high that we have to start putting chlorine in the water and install a pump to circulate it. Seeing lives changed and people baptized are the two most exciting things that happen here, and those are two things that will never get old!

Come Sunday expecting God to do great things. Come Sunday with a worshipful heart. And come Sunday ready to celebrate Jesus, because He's alive and He's coming again! That's why I keep saying week after week after week that I know THE BEST IS YET TO COME!
