An all around great day, topped off by an incredible message from Matt Proctor. Matt spoke from 2 Timothy 2, encouraging us to persevere. Quoting from Remember the Titans, Proctor challenged us to repeat a liturgy:
Proctor: "Do you wanna' quit?"
Congregation: "No!"
"What do you want?"
"We want some more!"
I needed to hear that sermon. I need the encouragement, and am ready to wade back into ministry.
The night concluded with Casting Crowns in concert. One word: Wow!
I always have to tell people this... The first time I saw Casting Crowns was at Trinity. They were opening up for Rebeca St. James. (Yes, this was a long time ago!)
ReplyDeleteI loved them! I bought their cd right then and there. That is the first and only time I've purchased a cd at a concert.
