Sunday thoughts

Today will go down in history as one of the best at Foothills. Here are a few highlights:

** Woke up this morning to a driving rain. Always hate torrential rains on Sundays. It definitely affects attendance.

** Today we did spontaneous baptisms. It's always a little scary because they are so unpredictable. But I guess that's why i love doing them. It is a total step of faith.

** We had 3 horse troughs set up on the stage to do the baptisms in. (You never know what to expect at Foothills!)

** Leading up to the message, the band did the Nickelback song, If Today was Your Last Day. Then we had some eerie organ music playing with some slides on the big screens that had scriptures talking about the brevity of life, and then we had pallbearers carry out a casket---very creepy.

** The message today was, What If... Today Was Your Last Day? It was probably the most "gloves-off" presentation of the need to follow Christ as any message I've ever done.

** We had a ton of responses of people giving their lives to Jesus, and 36 people baptized spontaneously---it was awesome!

** The buzz in the concourse was crazy. I had so many people tell me that a friend got baptized, or someone they invited gave their life to Christ. Very cool.

The best part is, we have another Sunday coming up in 7 days, and we will start a new message series called, "Disciple"!
