Updating IT

So, I mentioned before that IT will be a three week series... make that four.

The forth week of IT will be September 6 and will be called Radiate IT. We will address how once we have IT it is almost impossible not to let others around us see IT in us.

Thoughts for this new week?

IT: Keep IT

Once we have IT, we definitely don't want to lose IT, but somehow life gets in the way of IT. What elements can we use to help challenge people to Keep IT?

IT: Get IT

After our first week in IT where we will talk about what IT is, we're going to talk about how we "Get IT". What elements can you think of that would help us illustrate how to "Get IT"?

IT?


Sunday, August 16 we're launching IT.

We're going to talk about what IT is.

IT is something you can't manufacture, but you can feel IT, see IT and experience the effects of IT. You know IT when you have IT.

Do you know people who have stories about having IT?

Have you seen dramas or videos that capture the idea of IT? or that capture a great image of what IT is not?

Some ideas to get your creative wheels spinning:

Drama - Pulpit Talk
Drama/Video - Amena Brown's "You"
Song - "Something Changed" Sara Groves


So, what other ideas do you have to help us talk about IT?

Fall Big Push Series


This October/November we will host our Fall big push and the weekend services will be based on a series by Northpoint Community Church called Staying in Love. The final title and topics are yet to be decided, but you can check out the original series here: Staying in Love and start submitting your ideas now!

September Series: Go Fish


Fishing stories. We've all heard them. "It was this big." "You should have seen the one that got away." People love to tell stories of their fishing adventures. When it comes to faith, however, most people clam up. Why is it we can't talk about what God has done in our lives as naturally as we can spin fishing tales? We will discuss things like: We Were All Fish Once, Why Fish?, Fish Guts, Fishing Buddies, Muddy Water, and The One That Got Away.

Based on the series by the same name at Northpoint Community Church.

New Series in August - It

August 16 - 30 we will host a 3 part series called "It."

It seems that some churches just have "It". Some people have "it." We all want to have "it."

"It" is elusive and difficult to define. You know "it" when you see it. "It" is from God and "It" is a powerful, life changing force.

Based on Craig Groeschel's book, It, in August we are going to take a look at what "it" is, what contributes to "it" and what it means to get "it" back and guard "it."
