During the month of July we are having a great time discovering how easy it is to have a conversation with God (praying)! The wonderful testimonies coming out of this series are incredible, not only is God speaking to His people, we are listening and responding. Keep the stories coming as we continue to have Conversations With God.

We saw a glimpse today of what God has in store for Life Church Charlotte! It was incredible from the feel in the lobby all the way through tear down. His Presence was tangible, music was on, Children’s was kickin’ (I’m told) and the most visitors at one service since the launch! We have seen it, and we are humbly asking for more.

We officially move in July 1st! Until that time we are cleaning, painting and moving furniture in. If you are in the area stop by and check out our new office/small meeting space at 6401 Carmel Rd, Suite 103 (just north of Hwy. 51 on Carmel Rd.). Thank you for all your prayers, help and support as we continue to grow!

Croatia was one of the nations I traveled to before starting Life Church. Ed actually works with the same ministry that I am connected with as well! He travels regularly into Croatia and holds Pastor Conferences for the many young pastors in this nation. We are praying about what we can do personally and as a church to be a blessing to this part of the world. Please pray with Melanie and I as this is a region of the world that is close to my heart.

Baggage is a great thing to have when you are headed out to another destination, or on a vacation to Europe, but a horrible thing to have to carry every day through life’s Journey.

Way to many Christians are carrying way to much baggage that they were not designed to carry. Ever see that guy? You know the one. Your about to board the airplane when out of no where he arrives carrying 5 or 6 over sized bags knocking everyone and everything out of the way.

What about spiritual baggage? Unforgivness, shame, unworthiness, regret, and condemnation just to name a few. Even though it cannot be seen physically it is leaving a trail of shame, hurt and even angry people in it’s wake. It’s time to drop the baggage and let Jesus heal you every where it hurts.

Just like the man in the airport who wasn’t designed to carry that kind of baggage, neither are you and I designed by God to carry the baggage that we do.

Join us at Life Church Charlotte, Regal Cinema’s Stonecrest, each Sunday 9:30am. I-485 & Rea Rd.

I need to give a BIG shout out to Don & Denise Burns from Austin, TX and Derek Turner, pastor of The Branch here in north Charlotte, “THANK YOU” for all the donated equipment over the last several weeks. It has made a huge difference here at Life Church!

Also, we are in negotiations for some more, much needed office/meeting space, continue to pray.

This is the wreck that happened directly in front of us! It’s the same one when the tire broke loose and hit the camper in the infield! We were there, thanks to David Maisel.

I’ve been thinking lately, when you are tempted to complain or lose heart, remember you have much to be thankful for!

Luke 12:48b “…From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded. And from the one trusted with much, much more will be expected.” NCV

We spent the day at Crowder’s Mountain together and had a blast going to the top! If not for the haze Charlotte is just over my left shoulder. Don’t you love those WHITE legs!!! Enjoy life church.

Yesterday was a great day for Moms and Life Church. Every mom received a well deserved gift and “Mom” tattoo’s were worn by all! We also welcomed the community into our new digs and had a GREAT time connecting with so many new people. Way to go “Lifer’s”, you did an incredible job! See you next week…
