Globetrotters

Tonight, I am taking the 3 oldest kids to see the Globetrotters at Intrust Bank Arena. They are very excited and I am too. I have never been to see them, but Mitchell has been wanting to go for over a year. Thanks to Grammy & Grandaddy for buying the tickets! I look forward to some fun with the kiddos tonight. Now, I just need to get everything done in my office so we can leave at 5.

Yesterday, was a good day. Hesston had a snow day (more like an ice day) and so I was able to stay home with all 4 kids. We had some fun around the house and then ran some errands followed by a stop at Lincoln Perk. On a side note, we are about to save the princess on Mario Brothers for the Wii.

I am looking forward to this Sunday as it is Youth Sunday at Hesston MB. It always great to see how God uses the gifts of our young people. For those that know me, I dislike the quote, "Youth are the church of tomorrow." I disagree--Youth are the church of today. We need to be allowing our children and youth to discover their gifts and put them to use now in the church, not later. I will step down off my soap box now. So, come and join us on Sunday at 10:10 a.m. Even though, I am not a youth pastor any more, this is still one of my favorite Sundays of the year.

Have a great weekend!

Sermon Notes-"Transitional Thoughts"

Introduction: As I was thinking and praying about what to share during my final sermon on staff, I began to think of the transition that I am making as well as the church.   We as pastors have been consistently focused on three priorities over the last several years: prayer, worship and equip.   So, even though I may no longer be on staff in a few weeks at this church, as a member of this church I believe just as strongly that Hesston MB needs to continue to be about these priorities in the days ahead.   However, the more I prayed about it, the more I realized that to get to these priorities, we as a church also had to make some transitions so that is why I am entitling this message “Transitional Thoughts”.   Transition is defined as “the process or an instance of changing from one form, state, activity, or place to another.” Educate to Equip- Ephesians 4:11-16 ·          What is the difference?   o    To educate the focus is information; to equip the focus is transformation o

Sermon Notes "Plans" based on Acts 10:24-48

Introduction: I would like you to think about the word “plans”. Write down on your bulletin some plans you have for: this week, summer, your future, etc.   I am a planner so I love to know what is going to happen.   Yet we also need to keep in mind a Scripture from Proverbs 19:21 “Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.” We are going to see from the story of Peter and Cornelius, two great leaders who had plans yet God had a different plan and purpose for them and for others. Prepared- vs. 24-29 ·          Vs. 23-24-Peter and Cornelius have visions (10:1-23) o    Peter is told not to call common what God has made clean (15). As Peter is trying to figure out what it means, some men come and find him. o    Cornelius is told to call for a man named Peter and is given his location and he sends his servants to find him. o    Peter makes preparations and goes to Caesarea, Cornelius gets ready for his guests and invites his close fr
