I’m not committing to doing this every week. (After all, if you have followed me at all, you know that consistency in blogging in not my thing. Rather than continue to feel like a loser for this shortcoming, I have just learned to accept it and get on with it. Hope you can too! )

That said, there will be some weeks where I want to add a little extra insight as a follow-up to the sermon. So, playing on the idea of football commentary’s Monday Morning Quarterback, I am calling it Monday Morning Pastor-back. Clever, huh?

Yesterday I laid out the initial challenge coming from the vision God embedded in me while on sabbatical. God is calling us to do great things…God-sized things at Glenn View…things that would require us to give Him full credit because we just couldn’t manufacture it on our own.

I asked several questions at the end:
Will you be committed to praying for our church’s mission?
Will you be open to what God wants above all?
Will you be willing to give your all to His vision?
Will you be willing to sacrifice comfort for the sake of the Kingdom of God?

With all that in mind I want to share a video that a friend sent to me. This video is very telling, I believe, of where we find the church today. It is also a challenge to us that we will never see the God-sized things happening in our lives if comfort and security are our primary parameters. Think big, my friends!
