A Day Of Revival - Courtland Baptist Church

I had a great time Sunday, 10-4-09, with a fun and joyful church. Courtland Baptist Church in Courtland, VA allowed me the opportunity to worship and learn about leadership with them on a beautiful fall day. We had a God time.

The morning worship services were well done and the Spirit of God was evident in the 8:30 AM Contemporary Style and the 11:00 Traditional Style worship services. Much prayer, preparation and people entering worship with positive attitudes helped all in attendance experience God's love and power in a very real manner. May you and I move beyond just praying and seek to encounter God and live out that encounter in our daily actions. May we lean into God and verify our prayers as we live in expectation. Thanks to the Praise Team and the Choir for leading in worship via music. Thanks to the pianist for leading in worship through piano solos. Kudos to the children for leading in worship at the 11:00 service. Lord I lift your name on high. Sweeeeet stuff.

Lunch at Whitley's Barbecue - For you country Courtland folk, enough said. That cabbage was yummy. Thanks Darren for the lunch and encouraging conversation.

A "Shout Out" to all who attended the 5:00 PM leadership gathering. Lead with diligence. Ask yourself this question on a regular basis: What am I doing to help business? You and I will be better leaders if we ask this questions regularly and seek to answer it in simple ways that make a huge difference in the local church and in the Kingdom of God.

Fellowship Dinner - Baptist know how to cook and eat. :)

The evening service was smokin', pun intended. Tommy is one crazy old man. I liked the idea and will offer my prayers and life to God as a fragrant incense. All the music was rockin', please do not tell anyone. We do not want word to get out that God is moving in Courtland Baptist Church and lives are being changed as the people in Courtland Baptist magnify the Lord and exalt His name together. Just Kidding. For God's sake and the sake of people who need Jesus Christ tell everyone you come across this week and if you do not come across anyone this week tell the tree in your yard. O magnify the Lord with me, and Let us exalt His name together. O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together. O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together. Psalm 34:3 (NAS). Remember, we are in this together.

By the way Courtland peeps. If you're ever in the Chesapeake area please give me a call and buy me some lunch. Look forward to it. Be cool.
