Funny thing about being a Pastor…

You know, it’s a funny thing about being a pastor, you are really just a normal guy – it’s still hard sometimes to want to get up and go to church. That’s how I felt this morning – it was a rough one… It’s after church now and I still just feel kind of out of it, but I have to say, I love the people at our church! I know that we are loved! I know that we are friends and that it’s ok for me to have some bad Sundays and they take up the slack! You guys are amazing Epic! Thanks for being our friends and being our church! We love serving Jesus with you!

checkepic: I love my connection group! We had such a blast tonight (I’m not sure if the pastor is supposed to crack people up while they’re praying)!

I wanted to let you know that you can find out where to purchase the songs we sing each week by visiting Jory’s blog http://jorycollier.blogspot.com/. Hope you find this helpful!

Garage Sale Fun

Jenni and I are having a garage sale today and tomorrow (if you need any little boy clothes from newborn to 4T – don’t look anywhere else). Anyway, it makes me think of all the stuff in my life that is just junking it up and how badly I need a good spring (or fall) cleaning. Pastors have just as many issues as normal people, we are just good at hiding them! Hah. My hope is to not hide but to expose and to clean house. I want to know Christ better than I do, I want to get rid of my anger and hurtful attitudes. I want to really follow Jesus wholeheartedly.

PS – if you want to stop by and see Jenni and I we would love to have some visitors, here’s the directions to our house:

Go North on Andover Rd. just past 21st Street (Look for signs). There is a new housing addition called Cornerstone. You turn Left into this entrance (if you go past it you’ll be on your way into the country). Turn right when you see the model homes (They have white fence in front of them), stay on this road, it will wind and curve, it will eventually turn into Slate St. Our house is towards the end on the right (802 W. Slate, Andover, KS. 67002).

Lunch

Today I had lunch with Pastor Mark Hoover from New Spring on the east side of Wichita. I was really impressed with Marks humility and sense of call and direction to reach people who are disconnected from God! It is so good to be surrounded by churches who get it! I can’t wait to see how God forms a bond between New Spring and Epic! In case you didn’t know, we’re on the same team!

Easy Peasy

After this last sermon, I decided that sermons are not completely fair to the audience. My whole point was to not let fear quench the fire of God in you to do great things. The “not so fair” part of the whole thing, is that I come out sounding better than I am. I am still afraid all the time. It is a constant battle to not let the fear take hold and win.
I just don’t know that I did a good job letting people know that I have not conquered this or any other issue I have ever preached about. And so the old adage is said, it’s easier to talk it than to walk it. I suppose my job as a preacher is to never believe that I am the “Kent” in the 30 min. sound bite, my job is to know my weakness, own my weakness, and to point to Christ who is sufficient for all!
