Sarasota Revival

Ok, so if you missed it last night, wow! I am not really sure of all the things that happened last night but cell was pretty amazing. I sensed a deep and passionate presence in worship and when the transition from worship to devotion time came the Joy of the Lord flooded the place.

We were laughing for about 20 minutes at just goofy stuff and we had fun! We talked a lot about John the Baptist and had some really interesting discussion.

Here are a few points we discussed:

1) How hard was it for John to see Jesus, then give him his leadership?

“and they left and followed him” the disciples of John (Andrew and Philip– I think) left John’s leadership circle and went to Jesus’. — Johns response… I must decrease so that he can increase… hmmmm probably not my first reaction… Kudos to John.

2) Guy brought up the point that Jesus said that John was a great man born of woman but the least in the Kingdom God is greater than John… Hmmm what is that about? (john 11:11 ish)

3) Chapter 4 of the Book– Faith seeing the unseen– We saw or we looked anyway at what it means to turn your eyes to the invisible. How did Jesus “see” what the Father was doing? What does it mean to have faith? And to bring the unseen to the natural? We talked about this stuff and Wow, we had some great answers!

So talk with one of the people who were there for it or leave a comment about the topics above. Be blessed and know that God is for you!!

ok, So that was a long, long time away from the craziness of the life in SRQ, but we are back, and now we are ready to get back in the swing.

Angela and I climbed a mountain, drove 40+ hours and saw lions, and tigers and bears, OH MY. And after that we discovered that while family is amazing, there is no place like home. We have been reading and resting and sleeping, (well me sleeping mostly.. she had the kids ;0)~ ) so now that we are rested we are ready to get back to the action of the life that is buzzing around here is Good Ol’ Sarasota.

It is so neat, We reflected upon all the people who we have connection with here and discovered that we have some friends who are pretty amazing. (Ahemm, that would be you who are reading this) we are so thankful for you and realize that we are a team, a good team and wow, there is really nothing that we can’t do together! thanks for being amazing. We love being your friends and cell leaders, neighbors, and church family members.
