Have you grown your sea legs?

"The Journey" has begun! I think one of the coolest things to watch as a pastor is the excitement level in a room. A pastor can usually tell when his congregation is prayed up for service. There is a completely different air in the room. There is something to say about being ready and expectant. I think that more folks were praying for their church because of the mailer that went out last week making Sunday a great time of meeting with the Lord and a time of encouragment for me, your pastor.


If you do not share the same excitement and readiness, I have 2 questions for you – How much time do you spend praying daily for our church and its leadership? Seriously praying? How often do you attend church to feel the need and direction of the Holy Spirit in services? Prayer and participation will have given you the sea legs you need for this journey...otherwise, you may be a little seasick. A captain needs his whole crew to operate the ship. A pastor is no different. He needs his whole church. And that is you!
