sooo, this week we started the festive month of december and the use of those Christmas tunes we pull out once a year…if you aren’t familiar, this is all part of the weekly activity over on fred’s blog…go check out what other worship leaders and churches are doing in their services on sunday mornings…but for things here on this blog…this is what happened in the source this week…

we had a Christmas countdown video from our friends at sermonspice to get everyone prepared…

1. o come all ye faithful…as performed by third day on “Christmas offerings”

then i did a quick welcome/meet and greet time

2. here is our King…by david crowder

3. sing to the King…by billy foote and charles sylvester horne

then our venue pastor came up and set up our time of communion…

4. center…by matt redman charlie hall

our venue pastor came back up to pray and we went into our anouncement/ offering time…

5. Jesus Mesiah…by chris tomlin

then i dismissed everyone for the weekly coffee break before the video message by our lead pastor…after the message there was a short anouncement acted out by the characters from kidstuff and we were sent home…

from a human perspective it was a bad week…i was sick and had nothing left in me come sunday(today i have even less)…but i had to lead worship for the service…our band was not prepared and it showed…people were either tired, sick, or both…the lack of energy on stage was definitely reflected in the people there for the service…it just left a bad taste in my mouth…

sooo, there you have it…

sunday setlists…take fifteen…

a human point of view…

sooo, this past weekend my good friend and campus pastor spoke on II Cor. 5…the last six or seven verses…the focus of his message was on reconciliation and mainly in regards to family relationships…he did a great job of dealing with a tough issue…so often there are relationships that we let drift farther and farther away, when God wants us to reach out in love as He so often does to us…

but as he went through this passage there was something that really stuck out to me…one verse

so we have stopped evaluating others from a human point of view. at one time we thought of Christ merely from a human point of view. how differently we know him now! (II Cor. 5:16, NLT)

that is something that i ask for almost every day…i ask God to help me see each person and situation i face through His eyes and not through mine…that is something that i have a real tough time doing…i mean REAL TOUGH…no matter if it’s a co-worker or a client…a neighbor or a niece…my pastor or myself…no matter who it is, i need to stop evaluating people from…

a human point of view…

there have been so many times in my life where i would look at a person or a situation and think that there is absolutely no way…so many times in scripture where that would be true as well…so many times that i limit God because of…

a human point of view…

what is there that God wants to do…and could do…in and through my life… if i would STOP looking at life from…

a human point of view…
