There are times in my life when I just cannot put into words my feelings and emotions of where God has brought me from!
No one really knows the dark places I’ve been in during my life. Dark places of hurt, regret, anger, bitterness and selfishness. No one ever saw the tears of pain or heart break. No one ever heard of my intense fears of failure and to always be liked! No one ever really understood my longing to just bury my head in the sand and let the worries of this world pass from me!
This weekend I look back at those dark days knowing that Christ shone his light into my life and gave me life! In my darkest moment he brought me light and in my lowest agony he lifted me up and comforted me. The reason I look back on that this weekend is because we have our 2nd Preview Service for our church plant, Generation Church.
This weekend we are showing our community what Generation Church is all about I can’t help but think of where Generation Church started!
It started years ago in England as a young boy got on his knees before God, totally broken and cried out why! It started when God revealed to me how far away from him I really was. In fact it started way before then. It started some two thousand years ago when a man called Jesus lay down his life so that the world may experience life!
This weekend is a big one for Generation Church, but it’s an even bigger one for me! If you could have seen me 10 years ago and said that I would plant a church, I would have laughed in your face.
I am an example of how God can take an average man with a ton of issues and use him to create something way bigger than anything man could ever build!
So this Sunday at 10:30am people will join us for a preview service. I really do not know who is going to turn up, but I do know that this is a project Jesus Christ has been working on for two thousand years. I think I’m just going to get out of the way and just thank Him for giving me life when I was on the brink of death!
