Surfing the Inner N8

Yesterday at CrossWay the message was “All You Need is Love.”  I really see this being the major theme for our church.  Josh and Diana, our worship leaders, did an excellent job of selecting very worshipful songs that set our hearts and minds on the love theme.  We transitioned into the message with a short video with the theme “All You Need is Love.”

People seemed to respond positively–at least from what I heard.  It’s a message that had been brewing for several weeks, so it was ripe, even though I wasn’t as ready as I should have been.  When preaching, I prefer to have the message so internalized that I’m freed from my notes, and I just wasn’t there yesterday. 

When the idea was introduced of having a church-wide Bible study to search the Scriptures for what it teaches about the Church, everyone seemed excited about that.  And I’m excited about their excitement!  Starting soon, we’ll launch into a study of several weeks to discover together who we are to be as a church, what we’re to be doing, and where we’re headed.  I’m pretty stoked about it.

By the way, yesterday was my first attempt at making an audio recording of the message, and I think it actually worked!  As soon as possible, it will be available for download.  I think our website, complete with podcasting, might be up and running much soon than I’d anticipated.  More info about that coming soon.
