This Sunday, we're going to do something different at ACC.This Sunday, I'm going to take on the message and deliver what I feel God has given to me to say to our ACC family. Josh Young will be leading worship in my place again, which is something he does a fabulous job of, and Mike will play guitar and deliver a communion devotion.
This will accomplish three purposes. One, it allows me to speak from my heart something that God has been nagging at me to say for a long time. Secondly, it will help us work more efficiently at the church since this week gave Mike some time to get a jump on his preaching schedule for the rest of the calendar year and it also gave him some time to get his outlines drafted for the next three messages. Thirdly, it gives Mike and I fresh perspectives on how the service runs, from completely different angles than normal.
Now, please understand, this is not a task that I take very lightly. God has called Mike to preach at ACC and he does an incredible job at it. God has gifted him in several areas, but none are more apparent than the way the God has gifted Mike to be able to prepare and deliver a message.
For Mike to turn this time over to me is an enormous honor and I have spent my time prepping accordingly. Church, it is a burden to preach, but when God tells you to jump, you ask him "how high" while you're in the air :)
I'm excited to present this message to you, and I can't wait for this Sunday.
You absolutely need to be there. If you haven't seen Mike's post as to why, then go and read that.
I'll see you all Sunday and I don't want to hear any of your excuses as to why you can't make it!
