One of my goals when people visit one of our theater locations or coffeehouse is to exceed expectations so that people say, “Wow.” That is precisely what happened this weekend. I was showing Ebenezers to someone who had never been inside and they literally said “wow” when they walked in. That was a moment. That one wow was worth all of the headaches and ulcers and change orders! I think we’ve acheived the wow factor on all three levels.

I have a feeling that thousands of people are going to walk into Ebenezers over the next few months and say, “Wow.” And I’m going to be the java pastor sitting by the door smiling One of the things I’ve thoroughly enjoyed over the last several months is eavesdropping on people as they walk by our construction project. There is a street level excitment. Wait till they walk inside!

Footnote.

Heaven is going to be the ultimate Wow Factor. What we experience during that first nanosecond will be way beyond our wildest imagination.
