I've been very sad since leaving my church in Atlanta. I didn't go every single Sunday, but Andy Stanley did an AMAZING job bringing home the message. Messages that made you think about your own life. No bible beating or making you feel like you had to be one certain way or another. Just a perfect public speaker who has a take it for whatever you want to make of it approach. I love it. Anywho, you're able to watch his messages on the northpoint.org site, so in my church-message hunger last night, I did so.
And I was absolutely amazed.
It gave me purpose for my new year - which is great, if you've read my last few posts - and a self project to work on.
I thought I'd share it with you guys and maybe you could get something out of it, too. Don't worry, it's not some "ploy" to get you to be this denomination or that (it's a community church), nor is there mention of a 'come to Jesus' speech (which I despise, btw) at the end. Just pure inspiration.
http://www.northpoint.org/messages - click on "A New You Resolution" and you can either watch the video or listen to the audio.
You'll be glad that you did.
ps - I'd be willing to bet that sales of Stephen Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People made a spike this week in Atlanta. I bought the book today ;)
