Let me start off by saying that Scott, the preacher guy, totally rocked my face off. God spoke loads of blissful info. through him. It was pretty sweet. Okay so...the staff put a lot of emphasis on the reverence of our worship services. Send off & worship were like night and day which was a great thing. There is a time to dance, dance, dance crazy-like for our Lord and then there is a time to totally humble ourselves at His feet & let Him speak to us. Worship was definitely the latter of these two.
He preached out of the book of Ecclesiastes...around the second chapter...verses 1-18 or so. He started off this amazing message with an illustration. He brought out a shovel and told us of a time when he tried to dig to China....obviously it didn't happen. The bible story was of Solomon. The man who had everything...and realized that life was nothing without Christ. NOTHING! This book starts off by saying everything is meaningless...kinda gets ya down until you realize the truthfulness of the statement. Completely MEANINGLESS without Christ. Scott left us with a challenge to stop being mere fans of Jesus Christ, and actually be followers.
This message broke me down. I realized that I was being a fan...and that I was depending on myself too much. I decided to give it ALL to Him. Everything. I give up, I told Him. I don't want my life to be meaningless anymore. I want my life to have substance, and the only way I can get that is through you Lord.
