This weekend we are wrapping up our Baggage Series and dealing with the Baggage of Fear. I am looking forward to this message because, honestly, I deal with this everyday. Starting Lifesong is a risk… a BIG one for me and my family. I confess to you that I worry at times about failing as the leader of this church. I worry about alot of things..
Every Sunday I fear that nobody will show up.
I fear that we wont have enough $$ to cover expenses.
I fear that I will screwup as the pastor and hurt the church.
I fear that we wont have enough volunteers to do everything that needs to be done.
I fear that we wont see life-change in people… that we will just go through the motions.
I know that I shouldn’t have these feelings… but I do, just being honest. I have failed before (I have a PHD in failing), I dont want to do it again, there is too much at stake!
As I have been preparing for this weekend, I realized that this message is for ME. I need to be reminded…
That God does not give us a spirit of fear… but of courage.
That if God is with us… NOTHING can stop us!
That no matter what ANYBODY says… Lifesong will prosper because God is in it!
I know that Sunday is going to change lives… this message already has! See you Sunday.
