Sunday’s Comin’ !
Greetings everybody!
Let me start by saying I’m sorry it has taken me this long to send out this e-mail and thank you for all that you have done, are doing and will continue to do as we launch the West Campus! Last Sunday’s open house / drop-in was amazing and all those who came were blown away by the atmosphere we’ve created to make a place where people are comfortable to come meet Jesus.
I can’t say “thank you ” enough to those of you who have committed to go west and I am grateful for the sacrifices that you are making in doing so. As Keli and I talked the other night about what we’re all doing, we realized that the bottom line is this …. because of what we’re doing, everything from parking cars to leading worship, people are going to meet Jesus and not spend eternity in hell. There is nothing more important than that!
God has been preparing hearts and minds on the west side for weeks, months and years. People will come and meet the God that made them and loves them and has a purpose for their lives. They will worship Him and connect with others who will grow together in their walk and give their lives away to reach others for Jesus.
Changed lives. Lives radically changed by Jesus. That’s why I’m here.
Thanks for your friendship, your faithfulness and your love of Jesus and His people. Get ready. Sunday’s comin’.
That’s why I’m here too! Thanks for taking me along on this crazy wild journey!! I can hardly wait to see who God brings knowing their lives will never be the same! OH YEAH come on Sunday!!!
Wes, when I talked with Keli on Thursday, she made a comment that you did not think anyone read your blog – wrong, I do on a regular basis. Your writings provide encouragment to us all along with a clarity of our purposes for West Campus. This morning my reading was from
Ephesians 2: 17-22. This is what it says:
17He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. 18For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.
19Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God’s people and members of God’s household, 20built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone.
21In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. 22And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.
I love verses 21 and 22 because they provide such a visual to what we are all doing. Wes, I am certain you were hand picked by our Father to be our Pastor for West Campus and His annointing is on you. Thank you for answering His call.
