At Bay Area Fellowship San Marcos, we’ve had 75 FIRST TIME visitors in the last 3 weeks. 21 of them have FOUND CHRIST. 63% of the 75 came to the 11:30am service! We need space in that service so new people can fit.
Are you ready to make a MISSIONARY move? Start attending Sundays at 10am or 1pm, or Saturday nights at 5pm or 6:30pm. Your move could mean that somebody finds Christ!
If you missed the message this weekend at BAF San Marcos, you missed one of the most awesome messages ever!!! We’ve uploaded it to vimeo so you can watch it. :) It’s super important so make time to see it…
In this groundbreaking message, Pastor Bil does the entire message without speaking a word. It will really challenge you to “be still” and listen to what God is saying.
This amazing message from Pastor Bil is about ENDURANCE. Without ENDURANCE, you cannot be successful in anything! Thinking about giving up? Watch this video!
In Mark 10, a young wealthy man came to Jesus to ask about eternal life. Jesus said to him “One thing you lack, Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” The Bible says “At this the man’s face fell. He went away sad, because he had great wealth.”
The point of the story isn’t that you can’t be rich and go to heaven. The point is that you have to let go of EVERYTHING to follow Jesus and find eternal life.
What are you holding on to? Is it money? It’s great to have money, and even to have lots of it. But if you haven’t RELEASED it to him, it’s holding you back. Other things that can hold us back are pride, popularity, greed, sexual sin, materialism, anger, and ANYTHING that God would want you to release.
As a leader, no matter what you do, you have to reproduce yourself. Call that person an apprentice, a shadow, or whatever you want… you’ve got to have at least one person you are bringing along. Here’s the process from Dave and John Ferguson.
1) I do. You watch. We talk.
2) I do. You help. We talk.
3) You do. I help. We talk.
4) You do. I watch. We talk.
5) You do. Somebody else watches. The process starts over.
I watched this video today. It’s a simple “cardboard testimony” video. It’s very moving. It reminded me that it’s all worth it. Ministry is mostly fun for me. Really. But it is also hard at times. Being a leader means there are hard decisions to make. It means there is a target on my back. Sometimes people are a pain in the rear. But this video reminded me that it is ALWAYS worth it. Your thoughts?
A couple of weeks ago, Pastor Bil Cornelius talk about “When Blended Families Collide.” It’s the best message I have ever heard on the subject. I’m re-posting it here because I know there are so many families that would benefit from watching it.
I just got this video from http://jasoncurlee.com (amazing blog BTW). He got it from the Verge conference. I wanted to re-post it here because the message is so timely.
I am the Campus Pastor at Bay Area Fellowship San Marcos but that doesn’t mean that everything expressed or posted here reflects the views of the church. It’s basically whatever is on my mind. Consider yourself warned :)
