Now's the time

Yesterday was a great day at LifeGate Church. Worship was powerful, our kids did an amazing job of sharing what they've learned over the summer, we announced the launch of our new middle school ministry, there were first, second and third time visitors all over the place and most importantly two people gave their lives over to Christ.

God has been doing something amazing this summer. While our crowds have been wildly up and down (not unusual in June and July) the spiritual momentum at LifeGate has been building every week. Counting this Sunday we've now had people make decisions for Christ in six of the last seven weeks. Most of those weeks, we've seen multiple people enter into life with Christ.

I am more excited about the future of our church than I have ever been, including the time leading up to our launch two years ago. I fully believe we are standing on the precipice of a huge breakthrough in our city.

In my message yesterday (check it out here) , I shared about the Woman at the Well in John 4. Her willingness to tell her neighbors her story and invite them to check out Jesus for themselves caused her entire city to put their faith in the Messiah. She was one broken, messed up woman, but she was the spiritual key for her entire city. I'm praying that God will give us some people at LifeGate who will simply tell their story and invite other people to check out Jesus for themselves. As we do that, I believe our church is going to explode and our city is going to be changed.
