Love Revolution Christmas Offering THIS SUNDAY

This is it Wellspring!

THIS SUNDAY is our chance to come together and GIVE so that others will fall in love with Jesus.

I wanted to share a video with you that I recently shot while I was in Haiti.  It helps paint a picture of where your Love Rev gifts will go.

Watch this video, pray, and then come prepared to give THIS SUNDAY.  If you can’t make it this weekend, you can click here to give right now.

Every dollar will be used to fund initiatives that change lives.  I can’t wait to see God change lives through your generosity THIS SUNDAY!

One Simple Act That Could Change Change Someone’s Life Forever

I am beginning a brand new series this Sunday called “Blessed Life Ever.”  I am as excited about this series as any we’ve ever done at Wellspring.  God has given me a clear word and I fully believe He wants to do some amazing things through this series…you won’t want to miss a single week!

I will begin this series with a message aimed at people that don’t have a relationship with Jesus.

I will clearly present to them HOW they can begin a relationship with Jesus.
I will clearly present to them WHY they should begin a relationship with Jesus.
I will give them an OPPORTUNITY to begin a relationship with Jesus.

One key: people that NEED JESUS must be there THIS SUNDAY.  That’s where you come in.  

I am challenging everyone that calls Wellspring home to ask God to place at least ONE PERSON on their heart that they can invite THIS SUNDAY.  When God gives you a name (because I KNOW He will, He may have already given you a name as you were reading this) COMMIT to do WHATEVER IT TAKES to get them to Wellspring on Sunday.

This summer has been one of taking things to the NEXT LEVEL…it’s time to take our invitation to the NEXT LEVEL.

Please pray, please invite, and PLEASE come expecting God to move this Sunday.  

I’m including at the bottom of this post the promo video for the new series as well as a link to our Invite Page on our website.  Both are great tools to help you invite.

I’m counting on you Wellspring.  Let’s do whatever it takes to see lives changed this Sunday!

 

Next Level UPDATE

Hey Wellspring, wanted to give you a quick update on Sunday’s Next Level Commitment Day.

First of all, Sunday’s services were some of the best I think we’ve had at Wellspring.  Hearing each of you stand up and BOLDLY proclaim the Next Level Code brought tears to my eyes and rocked the very gates of Hell.  I’m telling you folks, God is FOR US and WITH US so NOTHING can stop us!  We believe and we will LIVE IT!

Second, I am OVERWHELMED at the response to Next Level.  We had people step up and give like never before.  We had single moms that gave sacrificially, people that had never given a dime to our church gave some of the largest gifts we’ve ever received, and people committed to give EVEN MORE over the next four months.

While we are still getting all the details straight and believe that more gifts and commitments will come in, I am confident in saying that we WILL reach our goal as long as everyone does what God has asked them to do.

I am excited, encouraged and expecting God to do even greater things through the Next Level journey.  I’ll give more information and announce the pledge total THIS SUNDAY during both services so don’t miss it!

If you weren’t able to attend Sunday or haven’t jumped on board the Next Level journey, there’s still time!  Click here to PLEDGE and GIVE towards what God is doing in our church and help us make the move to the YMCA!

For today, I leave you with the Next Level Code…believe it, embrace it and LIVE IT!

Next Level is THIS WEEK

This Sunday will be a defining moment in the life of Wellspring as we seek to answer God’s call take our CHURCH and our LIVES to the Next Level.  I shot a little video to “pump you up” for this Sunday.

Watch it, share it, and then get ready to respond THIS SUNDAY!

Next Level is THIS WEEK! from Wellspring Church on Vimeo.

As I said in the video, if you’re out of town this weekend, click here to commit and give to Next Level.

See you Sunday Wellspring, I can’t wait to see what God is going to do TO YOU and THROUGH YOU as we go to the NEXT LEVEL!

Authority in Marriage: Is submission worth it?

Here’s the final post of the notes Dani used to teach with me on Authority in Marriage.  Today she’s answer: Is submission worth it?  If you’ve missed any of the posts, they can all be found  here:

Post 1 (What submission is NOT)
Post 2 (Does submitting mean I’m less valuable?)
Post 3 (How do I submit?)

I know a lot of women may feel like they need to be the spiritual leaders in their family and relationship because their husband doesn’t really believe in God or he may not have a growing, personal relationship with Him.  The Bible actually tells us exactly what to do in that situation.

In the same way, you wives must accept the authority of your husbands. Then, even if some refuse to obey the Good News, your godly lives will speak to them without any words. They will be won over by observing your pure and reverent lives. — 1 Peter 3:1-2

WOW!  Can you say that you treat your husband with the kind of respect that would show him how much Jesus really loves him everyday? Ladies, your husbands desire to be adored by you…you need to love him like Jesus loves.  You be Jesus and let God be God.

If you struggle with this, with authority in marriage, I want to give you a place to start: Ask God to change your thought life.

The next time you are faced with that feeling like “there is no way this man is suppose to lead me,” you know how the little things just dig deep…like when you see the cereal bowl sitting in the sink and you think WHY??? and your mind starts to make that list of the ways your husband drives you crazy.  Stop yourself.  Focus on what he does well.  Even if it’s a small thing, dwell on that and thank God for it!  You’ll be amazed how your heart will change towards your husband if you change your thoughts.

Ladies, I want you to know you will not be able to do this alone.  You will have to be in prayer about this and ask God to change your heart towards this issue AND your husband.  But I can PROMISE God is ready and able take your relationship to the next level if you do!
