Message Notes courtesy of a 14 Year Old

I often get cool email from people and I think I’ll share them with you guys more often.

Check out this summary of the message from this past weekend at Riv. It is courtesy of a 14 year old taking notes on his iPod Touch.

In conclusion, this is what we’ve been taught throughout this church sermon. It all starts with the birth of 8 pound 6 oz., newborn, infant baby little Jesus, but still omnipotent. Word spreads, and people are flabbergasted. They are in awe of the precious little baby Jesus, and one man, one king, Herod, doesn’t take the birth to keenly as others. Herod becomes immediately jealous, a total butt head. He was much too “un-humble” to change for God, and revealed how easy it was to just “say” that you believe in God, when you simply do not.

Anyway, he was a douche about it, and sent three “Wise Men” to go inspect the situation (note, there were some others who agreed with Herod and his thoughts about newborn, 8 lb. 6 oz. baby Jesus). So, when the men got there, they were AWED! Immediatly, they got down on their knees and began praying an worshipping, offering lil’ baby Jesus frankensteinscence and myrhhhh. That night, those three had a dream never to return back to Herod, and they didn’t. They returned to their own countries of origin later. A little later on in the story…well, the moral if the story Is don’t be a dick about Jesus. Love Him, accept Him, and change for Him.

Awesome.

Growing up in the Lansing area, I wanted nothing more than to get out. My exit strategy included a complex mixture of schemes for an urban church plant, iProducts, and an elaborate Bollywood car chase scene with zombies and catchy techno music.

As a 40 year old man, I find myself entrenched in the Lansing area at a church I love (Riverview), with 4 kids I love more (a high schooler, a junior higher, a middle schooler, and an elementary schooler), and a wife I love the most (Grace).

Instead of planting one church, I dream of helping hundreds get started without ever leaving my home base. I still love my iProducts and use them as tools to help lead and teach the thousands who attend Riverview. And when no one is looking, I blare the techno music and send my unimpressive resume to casting agents for Bollywood zombie films.
