Hey Friends,

Last week I wrote on the more harsh or difficult side of leadership. Many who read the posts thought I was bummed out, but by no means am I! I spent a few days in Sydney a little bummed as I watched an awesome church. I saw some areas where we could get better and where I could get better. I was a little bummed then but I got over it before I came home. We can not act like the difficult side of leadership does not exist. It does. We must see it and be ready for it, or we will fall by the wayside and be another statistic.

Just in case you were wondering, I’ve never been more excited:

1. At the growth and excitement of Faith Promise.

2. At the level of our current staff.

3. At the future and vision for the church.

4. With the new ministry I am launching for church leaders.

5. With my walk with Jesus.

6. With the upcoming sermon series for the rest of the the year.

7. About decisions that face Faith Promise and the opportunity to walk in faith and honor our Lord.

I could go on all day.  I am so grateful to our Lord and for His favor and anointing HE has given me and FPC.  The future has never looked brighter. I believe we have yet to really get started in winning people to Jesus. We will make Him famous. We will lift Him up. We will walk by faith into His vision for His Church. We will see miracles.  We will see lives changed by the thousands. We will see marriages saved, captives freed, and God worshipped with passion and love. I am so thrilled at the future and then heaven! What’s not to be excited about?

Yours to count on,

Pastor
