I am almost positive that I do not have the words to describe what has
taken place this year at Mars Hill.  God has BLOWN ME AWAY…there is no way that
any one person OR group of people can take credit for what we’ve
seen…only Jesus could have done this. 

Here are some of the highlights
from today…

1. We honored both our "Founding" Members & "Pioneer" Members today with an "All-Access" VIP Pass to our 45th Anniversary Celebration Events.   We shot a commemorative DVD which chronicled the history of our church’s three locations: 3311 W. Roosevelt Rd, 2809 W. Harrison St, and 5916 W. Lake Street.  People laughed and wept as they saw how our church struggled during our early years.

2.  Personally, I thought the music today was INCREDIBLE!  The choir was outstanding and allowed God to use them to minister.  The band was OFF DA CHAIN – I believe we have the BEST BAND in the world.  If you don’t believe me, just come and experience it for yourself. 

3.  I kicked-off a new series called "Gametime."  A series is designed to help those interested in discovering God’s personal will for their lives.  Today, I taught how God’s will involves three spheres:

GOD’S PROVIDENTIAL WILL (things He’s going to do regardless)

GOD’S MORAL WILL (the do’s & dont’s clearly outlined in Scripture)

GOD’S PERSONAL WILL (what He wants to do through us specifically)

God wants a yes first!
