Monday Morning Recap, July 17

Thanks so much for praying for our Alabama Mission Team this past week; can't wait to hear how God moved in their experience! Another great job by Joel, Sean and our worship team this morning. It's great to see the diversity and unity of a guy like Tory Horner, who is a vice principal at KHS playing keyboards with a high school guitarist like Brandon Hughes. So good to be led by a team that's not pulling back in these days of summer vacations; so God-honoring.

I hope all the Dad's had a great day yesterday! Oakbrook is full of Dad's who do an amazing job investing into their kids. Way to go guys! I had a great afternoon with my family enjoying some great food, watching the U.S. Open and of course being Batman's sidekick...Robin the boy wonder! Check this out-Mason bought me this shirt for Fathers Day!

Hey everybody! I walked away from church yesterday with a deep sense of joy and satisfaction inside of me. What an amazing experience! I have been in ministry for awhile now and I'm still amazed at how God draws people to himself. The stories from those who got baptized yesterday reminded me that God is always at work! A grandmother faithfully prays for years that her grandson (a self-proclaiming atheist) will someday find Christ...and he does! A daughters father passes away and while she is going through his belongings she finds a book called "The Purpose Driven Life" begins reading it and discovers Christ! Amazing stories...only God! So thankful we as a church get to witnesses these amazing stories of God doing what only he can do!

Another great Sunday experience at Oakbrook yesterday! The Solution series has been a great challenge for me personally and I like the tension it is creating in me. I always sit down in the front of the auditorium and yesterday my view was seriously obstructed by all the bags of food that people brought in to donate to local food pantry's! Big thanks to all who donated food to help re-stock our local food pantries!!

Happy Monday, church! This is one of those great Mondays; one where we're saying to all our friends, "You should have been there-it was so incredible!" I was so rocked by the story and testimony of Scott Harrison, a former New York City night club promoter who's now promoting a way to get clean water all over the world. From an intoxicated life, to intoxicating life change. Only God... Watch a clip from his talk http://tinyurl.com/63lsco8 His bio & Charity: Water website http://tinyurl.com/yjjacxl

WOW-nothing like baptisms and worship to make your whole week, is there?! Way to go to everyone who stepped into the waters Sunday-and way to go everyone along the way who had a hand in that happening! Here are some pics of it: http://tinyurl.com/3wbnh75 Such a big portion of our faith is SHARING it. Michael Kelsey and Easter are two monster opportunities to invite those in our relational worlds. Wouldn't you love to hear this: "My first experience was a Michael Kelsey concert at church...and now months later, I'm getting baptized..."

Nothing says Spring Break like KOKOMO! I'll be seeing you fellow Florida-challenged people around our city this week wink A huge "way to go" to the people who stood up Sunday morning after accepting Christ! Next step: BAPTISM! If you are in a relationship with Christ, this Sun is your next step (literally) stepping into the baptismal waters! http://oakbrookchurch.com/baptism

Way to go to everyone who built into their marriage this weekend by experiencing the Love and Respect seminar Friday & Saturday-200+ in attendance! Sandra and I got a lot out of it and plan to discuss it more in depth tomorrow evening. I don't know about you but perhaps Mark should get on cold meds every week wink As a fellow teacher, I know there's nothing like trying to unpack the Trinity in 30 minutes-but what a great job he did with it! Here's the highlights.

One reason I like our church is that I don't have to wear my glad rags Sunday morning wink I want to thank the Williams' for sharing their story with us yesterday. It's amazing how God uses a story like theirs to breathe hope into untold marriages. And I am confident that whoever has the courage to seek God in a challenging marriage will find healing and health. And what an honor to lock arms and pray with individuals and couples after the service. God is so good!

Another great day at Oakbrook! Where else can you go in life and hear the powerful truth that the God of the universe is for you. God believes in you more than you will ever know! I hope and pray that you will live this week with the truth that “you are precious and honored in the sight of God.” Let God’s belief in you empower you this week in whatever you do!
