A small group of us attended the Willow Creek Leadership Summit last week and had the distinct privilege of being introduced to “It”, a new book by Craig Groeshel. We all left there overhwelmed with what we heard. I picked up the book and had to make myself wait a couple of days before diving into it just because of the amount of information I was still trying to digest from the conference. After I started though I can tell you it was well worth the wait.
I began to see clearly through the first few chapters churches all around me that have “it’ or don’t have “it”. Some of them may have had “it” at one time, but lost “it”. I know for a fact that our church at least almost had “it” at one time. Then we moved into our new building and we left “it” behind.
There is more to come on “it” and what I believe “it” is and how to get “it” back. All I can tell you is that I will not rest until I find “it” again.

At the beginning of second service this weekend I spoke with a lady that is relatively new to our church. She said she felt like the Spirit was moving within our church. We must be doing something right for her to see “It” in our worship.
I too felt “it” this weekend. May have had something to do with the preacher (haha) but I really did have this “outta body” experience. The Holy Spirit was definitely here Sunday, for me. What is important is that we keep up with society and the relevance of how the gospel is presented. God will honor us with His presence I am sure of “it”.
Love ya brother!
