Post-Super Bowl Monday Reflections

6
Feb/121

I didn't get to write anything last night because I was too busy watching the Giants beat the Patriots. To quote my buddy, Wade Allen, "I am happy that a Manning won at least one game in Lucas Oil Stadium this season!"

But I can't let this weekend escape without celebrating it.

Sunday was off-the-chart awesomeness! The atmosphere at church was electric! There is something inexplicable that happens when God's people really worship together. It's unifying. It's encouraging. It's healing. It's motivating. It's just flat out awesome!
I did something a little different before the service on Sunday. I spoke for a minute to all our children's ministry volunteers. Just wanted to tell them how much they mean to me. If you are part of our children's ministry in any way, THANK YOU! I know there are days when it doesn't feel like it, but you are making an ETERNAL difference!
Did I mention that the Patriots lost? The Super Bowl? In Indy? And they lost to a Manning? Ok, it's not exactly the Manning I had in mind…but it's still pretty sweet!
Our student ministry Super Bowl party was a blast! I hung out at the party through halftime, and it was so much fun. I haven't done anything like that since my days in youth ministry. I love our kids…but man, I'm getting OLD!
Our band killed it on Sunday! Love their passion, hard work, and dedication. You guys could play on any stage anywhere, but you choose to play on ours. Thank you!
The message was as tense and intense as anything I have preached in a long time. The book of James is not for wimps. This series is rocking my world…and it's impacting our church in a big, big way.
Every year, the day of the Super Bowl is referred to as "Super Sunday." At ACC, we simply refer to it as "Sunday." Same as we refer to every other Sunday of the year. The "Super" is always understood and expected! I love my church!
