Monday-itis...

It's Monday, and I have been struggling with Monday-Itis...

you know, a  Sunday hangover..?

well Yesterday was such a huge day... it may not be huge in comparison to other churches, but we don't compare ourselves to other churches,  we just compare ourselves with ourselves... you know, how we have been going lately and in relation to the same time last year etc.

so yesterday , there was 90 in our morning service and a further 50 in our afternoon youth church service.
that's not bad for us, in  the middle of winter in Melbourne.

We had around 45 people respond to the Lord Jesus after the message in the morning service and that was awesome to just see hand after hand being raised in relation to the prayer call.

I always get tired out after a day like that, but its what I live for.

I live to see people respond in faith to Jesus Christ

Yesterdays message can be heard at :


and we would encourage you to take a listen.

its all about being an extraordinary Christ follower, with extraordinary faith.

I hope one day to be called an Extraordinary Officer...

I am not interested in being ordinary.

and all I want for my life is to please my Lord and Saviour.

At times I struggle, and don't measure up to my own expectations, but one thing I can say, I am a plodder, I will keep plodding along and trying my best and striving towards what I believe God sees as extraordinary.

Yep I have Monday-itis...

but its OK,

for Sundays are my most favoiurite day and theres another one coming in just a few short days.

woohoo

What got us here, will not get us there.

I have been thinking about the this for sometime now. We as TSA have come along way, but yet...there is a long way yet to go, and everything we have done up until now, has given us the results we now have. It's insanity to think, that if we keep doing the things we have already done, that we will get a different result. All that we have done so far, in previous weeks, months and years and even decades have given us the results we are seeing right now. If we think for one moment that things are going to change, by doing the things the same way as we have already done them, then there may be a need for seeing a therapist. do things the same way, get the same result. change the way you do things, get a different result. the problem with this, is ..... that many think everything is honky dory....all "A OK".... and that's where the real bottle neck actually is. Because the truth is, (and many don't want to acknowledge the truth), that we are not winnin...

Salvo style.... God is here.

For me these days, life is super busy. I used to think I was busy before, but now...my goodness. Now, so that it's clear, I am happy being busy with the Kingdom stuff, and would never cope if I was blatantly bored in ministry, I am simply not wired in such a way. Life is good. My ministry is good. My God is good. For those of my readers who think, that maybe, I think I have arrived..... wash your mouths out...there is no way I think that, last week my head was in such a spin, I literally had to walk out the office and go home. I went for a walk to clear my head and got drenched when it started raining, and it was really good for me... I gained perspective and focus and the next day in the office was a little more sober. It's a busy place and much is going on.... it does pose questions for me, which over time I will seek clarity from the senior leaders here....and I guess where needed, I will tweak where and when I can. in the meantime, I am just doing what I feel...

Psychics

Went onto a Facebook thread this week that involved people seeking a psychic for whatever reason. I understand that the world is seeking answers,  and I have the answer but the answer I have people don't want to seek. VERY  FRUSTRATING . now as bad as it all is, what makes it worse, WAY WORSE...is that some of the people in our church were on there making appointments.   Now, before you throw your hands up in the air and ask what kind of church this actually is... we run a new church here at Craigieburn and it has loads of new baby Christians, and many also, who are just here checking things out...not committed to Christ yet, that's part of the journey of planting a Church..... so it is expected that there will always be people who are on various stages of growth. If you are reading this..and you have been doing this psychic thing... you don't need to do it, you need to seek Jesus and His Holy Spirit, it will be better than anything and everything else yo...
