House Church

Last night we had "house church" upstairs at the skate park (future music cafe). It was a sweet time of fellowship as we shared a meal which we had all contributed to. Eric, who runs a restaurant next door, has been coming to the house church and he brought some great mexican food.

After the meal we sang some worship songs and then watched an awesome recorded message by Louie Giglio entitled "How Great is Our God". Last fall I saw Louie give this message live at a Chris Tomlin concert in San Diego, but it was just as powerful the second time around. I highly, highly recommend you get your hands on a copy of this video which allows you to consider--in ways you can understand--the immensity of the universe and at the same time the complexity and uniqueness of our own DNA. I believe it will help scriptures come alive for you in a new way, particularly those which describe God's love for you, and who God is. If you see this video, I would love to hear what impact it had on you.

The DVD is available through this link at Amazon:
How Great Is Our God

Two of the boys from the youth group came to house church and I know the video made an impression on them. Here's a picture which Melissa took in June of Sebas reading his Bible (not a posed shot, haha!). Barrett has really poured a lot of time and energy into discipling him and God has done a big work in his life through it. It's really encouraging to see how much God can transform a person's life in even a short amount of time, if their spirit is willing.
