the Stirring ...

just got back from the Stirring tonight ... we're in our Jonah series ...

tonight, we asked a few questions ... why does God send winds and waves and whales into our lives? ... why does God hurl us into the ocean depths? ... why does God bury us beneath his stormy and wild waves? ...

God, in His mercy, humbles us and exposes us and tests us and disciplines us to shape our character ... to make us holy ... to make us more and more like Jesus ... Read Hebrews 12 ... amazing ...

I can't wait for Erase the Dark this Friday night ... we've got some amazing films and artists and food and creativity ... I hope we can fit 1000 people in that gym ... everyone I know is going to be there ...
