A few nights ago I heard a cover of The Black Eye Peas song, I Got a Feeling at a Christian concert. I loved the way they redeemed that song and it sort of became the theme song for us tonight at SWITCH.
We hosted Super Switch: our quarterly outreach oriented Wednesday night service where we ask our students to bring unchurched friends, bring in a guest speaker, and challenge our students to be inviters and our unchurched friends to be responders to the gospel message. Tonight we had Mac Cockrell speak and wow, what a great job. For a young guy (only 25) God has blessed him and I expect to hear a lot more from him the future. Our students owned up to the challenge and we had over a hundred there (106 to be exact) with 8 public decisions....it was awesome. We had most of the Bartlett High Football team, the Arlington High Girls Basketball team, and a lot of guests... We gave away a free camp, enjoyed worship with our band, and even played ICE CHEST (boys are given oversized t-shirts and girls are asked to dump as much ice in their shirts in 1 minute to see who has the biggest ice chest).
We looked at Paul in Acts 17 as he "turned the world upside down" and most of our formal decisions were of students desiring to do the same. What a good word.
My team prepared, Mac spoke, our kids invited, the Lord moved...it was a good night.
