Sunday Night Reflections…
· Another awesome day at Southside!
· Music was powerful…loved the opening song.
· If you were in the 2nd service then you saw God do some really cool things…our counseling room was packed with people who decided to become Christ-followers.
· Pastor took a few minutes and talked about some highlights from 2008…
o Southside was able to baptized 187 people
o Over 360 people joined our church last year
o Our people were super faithful in giving of their offerings and for missions
o Countless life change in 2008
· Pastor had a great sermon for “Vision Sunday.” He shared what were the values of our church:
o Communicating Truth
§ Churches don’t have problems because they don’t know the bible; they have problems because they don’t apply the bible.
o Challenging the Status Quo
o Creating Community
§ We want to do what is most effective, not what is most popular.
§ Awesome video about connecting people in Life Groups.
o Compelling Environments
§ We will not sacrifice the future of the next generation on the altar of someone’s personal preference.
o Choosing Love
§ People matter to God and they should matter to us…and at Southside they do.
o Celebrating Life Change
§ Another great video about two people who gave their life to Christ while at Southside.
