EASTER…THAT Just Happened!
UNREAL!!! If you’re like me, you’re still trying to catch your breath at what just happened over Easter Weekend!
Thank you so much to all of our phenomenal Quest volunteers and to all of you who serve, love, welcome and give with a humility of spirit that’s amazing. You really represent Christ beautifully and you truly honor people. Everyone who walks in our doors matters, and they can tell that because you’re sincere.
People matter to God; and they matter to us. It’s not just a value – it’s real. It’s not just a slogan – it’s the condition of our hearts. It is our understanding of the gospel. Thank you for living it out. I heard from so many newcomers about how that impacted them while they were here. (Well done, Questers!) And newcomers…we really mean it!! You MATTER!
We had thousands of VIPs and guests here for Easter (even in the middle of Spring Break!). And 174 PEOPLE became followers of Jesus on Easter at Quest over the weekend!!! THAT’s RIGHT…go back and read that again, SLOWLY!!
Christ is changing the world ONE life, ONE redemption…ONE eternity at a time! These are real people with real stories. 174 real people took Jesus up on His offer to START OVER! Can you believe the difference a day makes?!
Hopefully one of those was someone you know, someone you love…someone you invited!
Do the numbers matter? Absolutely! These are REAL people…moms, dads, sons, daughters, grandfathers, grandmothers…dentists, doctors, laborers, students…unemployed people, poor people, white people, black people, Asian people, Hispanic people! People with real lives…with real eternities who just met and responded to the real Jesus. It was a thrill to see people stepping out, taking Jesus up on His offer – especially at the 11:30! (Watch it here.) WOW!
It was a remarkable weekend where we heard and responded to the reality that NOTHING is irredeemable in the hands of our great God. Could you feel it?!
A huge shout-out to Quest Frankfort…you guys were just through the roof! We turned the page this weekend to begin a brand new era of effectiveness and audacity in Christ and in His love in our state’s capital. So proud of you and your whole team of volunteers who loved and blessed that city, Pastor Ken! (Look for an upcoming blog on Frankfort, soon!)
As we look ahead to next weekend, just a few thoughts…
- Questers…bring your friends back this weekend!
- LAUNCH begins this week – for newcomers to Quest – and for new Christians! Don’t miss this great opportunity to get plugged in! We all meet together at 9:30 am Sunday morning before the 11:30 worship experience. Please come back and be my guest!
- For the 174 of you who gave your lives to Christ, I’m so thrilled for you! I’d love to invite every single one of you back to find out how to take next steps in Christ and thrive in your new relationship with Jesus. Launch is a great place to start.
- If you were our guest this weekend, you really are our VIPs! At Launch, we want to help you find out more about Quest and discover how to make this church your church home. Come be a part of the community! You are really, really valued here.
Easter is the irrefutable evidence of God’s great love for us. A love that came not just to die for us, but that PURSUES us – even to the rocky beaches of our lives…REMARKABLE! Let’s dive into that kind of a love together, okay?
p.s. The Uprising is just 9 days away…HOLY MOLY! Pray for pastors from all over the country that we get to bless! Theuprising.org
