Eye Lock

I had an eye lock moment. Today after our morning experience I locked eyes with a person as they shook my hand. As I looked into this person's eyes I saw life, I saw hope, I saw relief, I saw a second chance, I saw freedom, I saw what it looks like to know that God loves a person just as they are. This is one of the incredible moments of leading a church that says "come as you are". Thank you Jesus for changing lives.

Why do we set up in a movie theatre every Sunday? Because of those "eye lock" "ah ha" moments.


"My ambition has always been to preach the Good News where the name of Christ has never been heard, rather than where a church has already been started by someone else. I have been following the plan spoken of in the Scriptures, where it says, 'Those who have never been told about him will see, and those who have never heard of him will understand'." Romans 15:20-21
