Sunday services are over, but, my mind is STILL spinning…
- I honestly feel that this weekends services were the most amazing services we’ve ever had since I became pastor in 1999.
- Our total church attendance was over 2,500 for the first time in the history of our church!
- I preached about God’s historical bailouts & (The Full Coverage Plan, The “I AM” Plan, The Provision Plan) & closed with The Greatest Bailout that ever happened – The Resurrection Plan!
- Our NEW & IMPROVED Video Venue Service had over 220 for the first time today! I want to thank all the ushers, greeters, deacons, ministers, and security who served in our Video Venue – YOU ARE SIMPLY THE BEST!
- Our 100-voice choir was OFF THE CHAIN as they slammed Donald Lawrence’s “Matthew 28.”
- Honestly, I believe Mars Hill has the best Worship & Fine Arts Ministry – PERIOD! There are churches with larger ministries & celebrity musicians & personalities. However, I’ll take our anointing over any celebrity!
- Folks…what happened yesterday at our church IS NOT NORMAL…it wasn’t a “nice service”…it was a move of God! I’ve honestly never been a part of something like what happened today…and it’s only the beginning.
- Religion is all about what we do to get to God…Christianity is all about what God did to get to us!
- THAT is one of the problems with church today…we’ve became “normal” when the call of Christ on our lives is to change the world-“normal” people can’t do that!
- We will continue this series on Sunday…expecting/praying for God to do amazing things AGAIN!
AND…to My Mars Hill Family…a personal note…
Reality is this…satan got his butt kicked this weekend! Hell is going to be less crowded! People crossed over from death to life. The way a community is changed is by the church preaching AND living the Gospel…and I believe we are going to continue to see Jesus do the unexplainable and undeniable…and we, His church, will continue to become unstoppable!
He’s alive-we win…now all we need to do is continually run up the score!!!
I LOVE you guys…I LOVE our church…I LOVE serving here…there is NOTHING ELSE on the planet I would rather do! I’m bought in!!!
I can’t wait to see what happens next!
Hey Pastor we love you to. God has def aligned us with the world's greatest Pastor. Your sermon yesterday brought alot 2 light fr me & my family. But when you hv your chld say to you "mom pastor stowers was telling the truth about everything he preached about" I smiled with the wow my 9yr was actually sitting there listening to you instead playing his psp..lol but what rally brought tears to my eyes was when my son told me "mom the song matt 28 you all sung isn't just a song, it tells a story" I asked him how so he con't on to say yeah I love to hear it when you play it in the car & even listen to the choir sing it, but the story it's real it's not bout how you sing it..it's about how real the story is. Man pastor that raised a high praise inside me cause from the lips of a 9yr I was shocked but from the lips of my 9yr I was truly blessed. Thanks again for being the gr8test pastor/teacher:)
Hey Ella:
Thanks for sharing & your son's comments let me know I'm doing my job. The TRUE test of my preaching is when children can understand and get into the message. Thanks again for sharing!
I was there…I completely agree!
Hey Darius:
Man, good to see you there & thanks for sharing your insights! I'm still waiting on my invitation to one of your food-tasting gatherings – hook a brotha up!
