The Kingdom

About a month ago a group of pastors in our community gathered to talk about life & ministry and pray together. During the conversation, Brian Bloye from West Ridge talked about an experience he had at Saddleback a few years ago when Max Lucado said, "It's not about you."

We kicked out the idea....what if we all did a series together on what it IS about "The Kingdom"! Can churches with a few differences in doctrine really come together to do a series (all the same weeks and the same thoughts)....the answer - YES! We gathered yesterday to begin writing the series and it was amazing!! I cannot wait to see what God has in store & what He is going to do through the unity of the churches! It was crazy that this idea started about a week before "One" came out from LifeChurch.....I think God is up to something big!!

We will take the 4 weeks of September and talk about the big picture of what the Kingdom of God is.....I think it will be an amazing four weeks!! Here are some of the churches already on board:
  • NorthStar Church
  • West Ridge Church
  • Burnt Hickory Baptist Church
  • Riverstone Fellowship
  • Noonday Baptist Church
  • Mt. Calvary Baptist Church
  • West Cobb Church
  • Piedmont Church
  • Vinings Lake Church
I know some other guys are looking at coming on board!!! I can't wait.......it's not about me, it's not about you, it's about the kingdom!!!
