Hello Sunday! I totally ripped this off of my church's website. Today was the beginning of the sermon series "I <3 the 80s." The opening song was "Nothing but a Good Time." That was fun! It was an amazing sermon... you can listen to it here!
I love the part Pastor Perry was talking about one of the biggest mission fields in America being the church. A lot of people grew up in church but aren't really sure when they became a Christian. If you don't know when it happened, then it probably didn't happen. We experienced that exact thing in my hometown a few years ago (and hopefully still now). There was a revival in the youth, and many youth who had, in the past, gone forward and been baptized, were coming forward again saying that they had not really met God/been saved. In the weeks that followed, many, many adults did so as well. I couldn't have been more proud of my hometown. Setting ourselves and pride aside and saying "Hey-- I'm going to be humble and honest and vulnerable here. I may be a youth leader, but I'm not a Christian, and that is changing now."
I <3 my church!
