A God Weekend

One of those great weekends this one. A weekend where the preeminence of God as the centre of life was evident in the schedule. Saturday morning was spent at our second men of Watford event, now bearing the name ManUp at the Wellspring home of Watford Community Church. We had the first of these events in March with 30 men and three churches. This time? 55 men and 11 churches represented! I can honestly say that my heart was racing to be a part of something where the Kingdom men of Watford were gathered for inspiration and equipping to love and serve this town. Rev Tim Roberts shared a brilliant message on Kingdom Men: Lip service or Life service, well done guys.

Sunday was one of our X1:AM X1:PM Sundays where the people of X1 gathered morning and evening for corporate celebration of our glorious saving God. What a treasure to take our new young man to be immersed in the people of God. For him to take in the wonder of a worshiping people, for him to know he'll not be raised by individualistic parents but by a community of God's people. Struggled to get him back from all the loving , embracing arms but we managed. One of our young guys shared a brilliant gospel message on the "Living Hope" that is in Christ. Dear friends of ours whom we have enjoyed fellowship and closeness with over the last 2 1/2 years in Watford were with us, they do not know the Lord but have been on somewhat of a spiritual journey and just walked into the cinema as a family much to our delight. They loved it - heck yeah!

Our evening X1:PM was simply special. The Spirit of God was just having his way with his children and there was a lot of joy and fire in the room. Love these times together and again am so delighted to see the young men in our midst leading out in this and flexing their Godly leadership skills. Keep it up dudes. Preached on Daniel An Undiluted Worshiper and basically went all out to say to our young people that is okay to be accused of loving Jesus too much, to be known as a Jesus Freak, to be giving too much, to be at church too much, to be overly devoted to the Person and mission of Christ, to serve the church until their hands are bleeding cause NOW as young adults is the only time they may have time to give it their all.

Good weekend, God weekend. Enter in people of God give all you can to the mission of Christ you'll never regret it!
