Those who go to embassy metro church or follow this blog know that we usually preach in series. I have found that it is the best way for us to focus in on a subject and really do some discipleship with the subject over the period of 3-4 weeks. At times I pull an audible after God's leading and change everything up. Like with our June "Dive In" series and this months "Crossroads" series. For the most part we stick with what God has directed us to do months in advance.
In June at our creative design meeting we decided to bump our God at the Movies series from July to August which will be a better fit for the series anyway. One great thing that came from this is that it has allowed us to work two full months ahead on series design. We have our series laid out through the end of the year, but work for a particular series usually never began until the month and weeks leading up to a series launch. It has been great being able to design our series so far in advance. In August the series is designed to make outsiders insiders when it comes to their relationship with God. You don't want to miss a week of the "God at the Movies" series Aug. 12th, 19th, & 26th. Invest in and invite like crazy your unchurched friends, neighbors, and workmates. Take part during the month of August in changing somebody's life by inviting them to hear teaching regarding "Reel Spirituality" during our God at the Movies series . August will be followed up by our September series dealing with teh subject of sex. We have been referring to this series since our Marriage series in May.
The next two months at the embassy will be life changing as we seek to reach people for Christ through our "God at the Movies" series and then as we cover a subject that each of us face in someway or another daily and uncover the lies of the Devil concerning sexuality and his corruption of it, and discover the truth in God's Word regarding the gift of sex that God has given to man.
*does anybody have a blackboard we could use during our series in September...and no it isn't for diagrams. That's not what the series is about.
As your pastor I want to say thanks to you in advance. You do want emc to be a place that tackles the tough subjects and you do want me to be a pastor who is willing to risk in order to reach. EMC-ers ya'll are great. Keep doing what you are doing and just watch the continued impact you will make in the lives of people in this area.
