If You Cook It, They Will Come

We had a cookout Saturday night and I encouraged our people to invite a few friends.  The funny thing was, they did!  We had about 50 people there Saturday night and we had a great time.  I got to meet some really cool people.  


We talked on Saturday about the Justice of God.  We started a new video segment that we are going to run once a month or so called, "In the Wild." We interviewed a few people at the local park asking them what the definition of justice is.  Most people answered this without a problem. We followed up with what is mercy.  That's a much tougher question.  The answers varied between deep and insightful to ridiculous.  

 We also did a drama to go along with the subject of Justice.  Brandi played the part of a defense attorney giving the closing arguments to the jury. She walked down to the front and addressed the congregation like they were the 12 in the jury box. She did a great job.  Toss in some great worship and I'd call it a killer service.  Sometime this week I'll be putting up some highlights of the weekend.  I'll put a link in this blog so everyone can find it.

 
This week we're starting a new series called Choices.  This week is, "I Choose Joy."  I think deep inside we all want to find joy and peace. Even more than that, most of us know what it takes to achieve it, but very few of us are there.  If you're in Boise, come join us.  We'd love to meet you.
