A few Sunday reflections.

We concluded the Wild Goose Chase series yesterday. One way I evaluate how much a series is resonating is by the # of emails I get that week I had five emails waiting for me Sunday night. I always appreciate it when people take the time to email their reflections. It helps me keep a pulse. This series seemed to strike a chord.

The biggest challenge yesterday was preaching in the 9:30 service. I was dying! There was a “heckler” that kept making loud comments that were a distraction to me and everyone around him! I came as close as I’ve ever come to stopping right in the middle of my message and asking him to be quiet. I love feedback An “Amen corner” is always appreciated, but this guy kept interrupting my train of thought! I had the hardest time getting in a preaching flow. I don’t think it was intentional. It was a homeless guy that I’ve had several really good conversations with, but I think he had too much to drink. He wasn’t quite in his right mind.

I have to say this though. I love the fact that we have a culture and meet in a place where people like that feel comfortable coming! I’ll take the heckling and distractions if we can keep reaching people like that!
