Today’s post is short. Francis Chan spoke about how we should be suffering but through God’ grace we aren’t. He moved on to say as church leaders we are better @ teaching and giving grace to others than experiencing it ourselves. He asked us if we were enjoying our forgiveness?!
Sometimes as church leadership it is so hard to enjoy things because we have so much invested in it. We want it to run smoothly etc and lose focus of what the goal really was.
With that he moved on a little to Do we lack faith in the word that we have to make the resurrection sound better….crazy! They asked his to lead us in the Lord’s Supper (all 13K of us) and just look at Jesus. He said that’s all I have to talk about. But he said how many times do we try to out do everyone and preach the most amazing Easter sermon or describe God’s grace differently to make an impact more than the Word (capital W) of God.
I’ll leave you with those thoughts. I wish we had actually been able to partake of the bread and juice while we were there but they ran out. The leader in me would’ve done it differently…see how hard it is to step away and enjoy.
Okay…bacons in the oven gotta run
