I just printed my sermon for the morning. This will be my fifth Easter Sunday as a pastor. They get better every year.
Tonight I got to spend some time in prayer with Chris and Nicki. Tomorrow morning at 10.35 am they open the doors of The Oaks for the first time in history! I got to reminisce with them a little about Saturday night, September 15, 2001. That was the night before our launch service at Church of the King. Talk about some raw emotion! Getting ready to preach for the first time to a church that you pastor but you've never seen is quite surreal.
I will say this though. Almost five years later, I still get geeked the night before I get to stand before our church and preach. When I played basketball in high school, we used to run out onto the court to Let's Get Ready to Rumble. I'm thinking about being introduced in the morning by that tune. I'll run around all the chairs a few times and high five everyone before I start teaching.
This is what I live for!
