Sunday Mind Dump (Monday Edition)

April and I went to SC for a friends wedding this past weekend. What a long trip! It was a nice wedding and we're glad we we able to get away for a few days to be there to celebrate with my friend Tiff!

So let's dump!
  • Since we were in SC over the weekend we took the opportunity to visit Newspring Church (Perry Noble's Church.) Here are a few things I learned from going there.
  • Hands down the best worship team I have ever seen or heard. They sounded incredible. It was amazing to hear them completely rocking out and yet seeing 2500 people worshiping along with them. Loved it!
  • Getting into and out of Newspring isn't easy. So many people coming and going its like being at an amusement park at opening time. Anyway, its a chore. It demonstrates that when a church has momentum and God is moving in a place people will do whatever they have to do to get theirs butts in a seat.
  • Literally every seat was taken and they had ushers helping squeeze people into any open seats. How many churches have that problem?
  • Perry breaks the mold when it comes to preaching. Yesterdays message ran about 45 minutes. Everything I've read says a pastor should speak no more than 30 minutes. If you're good, all the rules can go bye bye.
  • Enjoyed our visit. But, glad to be home!
