What a great day at Oakbrook! I'm so proud of those of who decided to follow Christ into the waters of baptism. I love watching the actual baptisms happen. Seeing small group leaders and friends and parents surround those being baptized-such a picture of influence and love. We are celebrating baptism again this Sunday and it is not to late to get signed up...http://www.oakbrookchurch.com/baptism/
Happy Monday Everybody! Hope your week is off to a great start. The Guardrail series was such a great series for me and I hope it was for you as well. And I'm so proud of the 75+ people who picked up one of the 90 Day Tithe Challenge packets. Way to go! We ran out of packets in both services-sorry. If you did not get one you can go online and get the information here...http://www.oakbrookchurch.com/tithe I will be praying for all of you this week as you look over the challenge and make a decision. Don't let fear lead you. Pray and do what God commands you to do. He can be trusted!
WOW! What a fantastic weekend at Oakbrook! I am so thankful for the influence of Dr. Dave and Donalyn this weekend. Dr. Dave posted the following words on his Facebook page yesterday: What a Day in Kokomo!!!! This morning between 110-120 people responded publicly recommitting...
Hey everybody. Hope your week is off to a great start. Say it with me: Andy Stanley-clap,clap,clap,clap,clap...Andy Stanley-clap,clap,clap,clap,clap! That was some great teaching we experienced. Truth that will protect you from major regret down the road. If you weren't there here are some of my notes: Flee, Baby, Flee! The talk was about establishing sexual guardrails in your life and centered around the truth found in I Corinthians 6:18-19. Married Guardrails:
Wow...I still can’t can’t get over all this sunshine and warmer temps! I saw several people on the golf course yesterday. Enjoy it while we can! Hope your week is off to a productive start. I really enjoyed the fantastic teaching we received yesterday from Andy Stanley. I watched that talk 3 times and each time I learned something new. Praying that all of us will make wise relational choices as we continue to pursue Christ Centeredness.
Happy New Year & happy snowy morning everyone! First of all, how about all those incredible volunteers and staff that pulled off three amazing Christmas services? (insert uproarious clapping and appreciation here) I'm always so impressed with our church's dedication and work ethic at the busiest time of year. And everyone does so with such humility and desire to see Christ lifted up! Awe inspiring. Thank you volunteers and staff!

Message highlights:
Merry Christmas Everybody! Hope your week is off to a good start. What great experiences God gave us yesterday at Oakbrook we move one Sunday closer to Christmas Day. Stay focused in these final 2 weeks-stay in His Word-rediscover the amazing nature of the Christmas story-be generous with your contribution to the Year End Offering.
Wow. So good to be back with the Oakbrook family yesterday! And how ironic that a gunshot wound was virtually no trouble and yet a common COLD about wiped me out yesterday!
Here's the message recap:
The Baby Jesus is proof that God is Big, but not too Big. He's big enough to be our rescue, salvation, strength, peace, provision etc. But as He took on flesh, He walked in our shoes. We can relate with Him. He wants to know us and for us to know Him. His is Big, but not too big for us to have an intimate relationship with.
Hey everybody! Hope your week is off to a great start. Please be praying this week for our team in Haiti. They left last Saturday and will be returning next Monday. Each evening they will be serving at an evangelistic crusade. Our team will be providing music, drama and testimonies each evening. Each day they will be going into villages sharing the gospel with Haitians. Again, lets lift them up each day in prayer!
