Sounds pretty inflammatory, right? Stay with me.
Yesterday was another amazing day at The ROCK. The crowd was down but the energy was way up! David & Carolyn’s teams did a phenomenal job leading worship and bringing the visuals. Our Creative Arts Ministries are stepping up in a HUGE way! Kid’s ROCK was pumping. Our HandUp inner city teams were bringing their ‘A’ game as well. I loved seeing the greeter’s welcoming everyone with huge smiles. Four people raised their hands to give their lives Christ!
After church, I was able to slip out and catch the 12:30 service over at PC3. Yesterday marked their first official service in the new building. It is huge and beautiful and a gift from God for their ministry. Duane and the band brought it in worship. Mike Ashcraft delivered a great message that I may well “borrow” from in the future. They gave $25,000 to a pastor from Kenya. In all yesterday, 5,500 people worshiped in one of the three services at PC3. It was an awesome day for them and I could not be more excited and proud of what God is doing through their ministry.
I love their church, but I don’t want to be another PC3. We are called to be The ROCK. I’m pretty sure Mike doesn’t want PC3 to be The ROCK. Why is this? Because God has called The ROCK & PC3 to this city to be who we are. I want to be who God called us to be and to do what He called us to do. There are more than enough hurting people in our city for all of our churches.
I love my city and I love the many great churches in our city. I applaud you all. Port City Community Church, know that The ROCK is cheering for you. CONGRATULATIONS!
Tomorrow, I’ll share about some other amazing churches around here. Until then, tell me about how your church is making God’s name great in our city…
