I love to travel... I enjoy getting a coffee at the airport and watching the crowed of people pass. One of my favorite things about traveling is the quite drone of the plane at 30k feet. It focuses my mind. I feel like I can think a little slower and more clear. Another thing that always surprises me is how things spiritually change when I am away.
High Point was started two years ago. Our church exists where one did not previous. This movie theatre was not meant to be a church (even though it fits us well). We are reaching people in a non-traditional way and with an aggressive nature because we only have a limited days on this earth to make the most out of the talents GOD has given us. We were commissioned by Christ to share the message that He came to deliver. People are responding. It is so much fun to see people every week come and connect with a living God. I hear stories every week of how God is transforming peoples lives. We are truly accomplishing the goal we set out to do I love it.
The enemy doesn't like us here. Scripture says that we wage not against flesh and blood but against principalities. He is out to destroy the work we are doing. I feel the battle often. It can be intense. When I travel I feel the difference... I feel lighter, My head is clearer, I can pray and hear from God in a different way. It is great. But as I am away all I can think about is being back at High Point. I am convinced that retreat and getting away is god for the soul and is a rest from the attack of the enemy. God is going to give us this land but that doesn’t mean that there will not be a fight for it.
Pray for your pastors... Pray for your city... Pray for your neighbors and coworkers... Pray for the Other pastors in this city - God wants to do something big in this city!
This next season of HPC is going to be killer. We are going to see more people come to Christ, more peoples marriages restored, more lives will discover there potential and kids will grow up in homes that honor and glorify God now because we are here.
I am back and feeling better than ever. I woke early this morning and feel super refreshed. I feel weird not having a message to prepare... I have so much burning in my heart. So much the team and I need to lay out and prepare for. So much for you to partner with and get excited about.
High Point is an exciting place to be apart of right now! I am so Glade I get to be apart of this church!
