Mark’s Monday Morning Re-cap, 08.24
Another awesome Sunday at Oakbrook and I still can’t believe I get paid to do what I do!
- It was so fun having Kedler (our friend from Haiti) with us. I love that we get to play a small part in his amazing story! Don’t forget, if you have any unused laptops/computers, bring them to the church this week and he can use them in his internet café in Haiti.
- The 2 books I mentioned in my talk “Unchristian & “They Like Jesus But Not The Church” are 25% off at Lakeside Books. These books will rock you! Every month we discount featured books that coincide with the series. Been to Lakeside Books lately?
(Don’t forget; reading is an awesome way to grow. Read 30 minutes a day and your life will be transformed! I dare you!)
- Did you see the new sign at Lakeside Café’ & Books?? So cool looking! Designed by my fellow team member Jason Lee-WAY TO GO JLEE!! (who by the way is one awesome graphic designer).
- Got an email from Sam Burke (Director of Student Ministries) and they had 136 people @ OSM last night–a record number for opening night! AWESOME!! Way to go Sam and the OSM team!!!
- I heard a rumor there might be another Beatles Concert in the works.
- My son asked me how I knew about ZigZag rolling papers? C’mon Jonny I went to high school in the 70’s!!!!
- Don’t forget to get signed up in a small group for the Chase The Lion church-wide journey. This will be 4 life-changing weeks! (email: .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address))
- Loving the worship tune Glory to God Forever! My favorite line in the song: ”Take my life and let it be, all for you and for your glory.” May it be so!
- Prayed with several people after the service yesterday. People are struggling with relational and financial challenges from the recession. Lots and lots of opportunities for God to do some big work in people lives! So glad more and more people are coming down after the service for prayer!
- I’m hearing more and more stories of people losing jobs in our community…so sad. Talked to one of my neighbors last night and his job is done at the end of this year. Praying for them. This is gong to be a challenging year for our town–but as I keep saying–what a great time to be a church in Kokomo, IN!!
If you are facing some tough realities in your life here’s some good stuff from my new favorite author, Mark Batterson: click here.
I was so excited to give the talk yesterday! Thanks for all the encouraging comments and emails. Remember: No Perfect People Allowed and people like Jesus!!
Here are the questions I closed with yesterday:
- Am I numb or neutral to people outside the church?
- Do I pray daily for people outside the church?
- Who am I praying for now who is not a Christian?
- When was the last time I had coffee, dinner, went to a movie or just hung out with someone who is not a Christian?
Let’s build some relational bridges this week, Oakbrook. And remember:
Don’t Just Talk About It, BE ABOUT IT!
Love doing church with you guys,
Mark

That is good to know, working for something that you did not expecting something in return. And that is really admirable, that people give important to what you have done, therefore reward will always be given.
