fo'CAL' pointes: A QUICK LOOK AT SUNDAY

Yesterday was, by far, one of the most amazing days we've ever had at PNCC!!! It has been a long time since the Holy Spirit "interrupted" our service. However, in the first service it was obvious that God wanted to take care of some things in people's lives. The RUSH to the front was incredible!
Then He did it all over again in the second service! People were crying and allowing God to genuinely lift their burden.
With anticipation, I waited during the third service last night to see what God would do. It was so different than the two morning services. I can't say that I wasn't disappointed when nothing happened...UNTIL the end of the service. WOW!!! Here I was speaking on the subject of money and nearly 30 hands went up at the end to say..." I want to put my FULL trust in Jesus"! People are going to heaven because we did a message on giving...Only God!!!
A few other things to note...

Brooke was outstanding filling in for Ricsha leading us in worship! The entire worship team was incredibly sensitive to the move of the Holy Spirit...Great job as always!
I mentioned that we would be taking a team to Texas for rebuilding lives in the wake of hurricane Ike...Already 20+ people on the list! PNCC, YOU ROCK! (stay tuned for exact details)
I unashamedly challenged people to give liberally to the work of God...To take steps to get out of debt, and the best way to start that process is GIVE. (look for a financial freedom class real soon)
I shared a partial "blessing" list from mine and Tina's 30 years of committed giving. Every service that just made me more aware that God has fulfilled His promises and fired me up to give even more!
Reminded people that giving is the only place in the entire Bible that God says "TEST ME"... Clint Eastwood stole His line when he made famous, "Go ahead...Make my day". God said that in Malachi 3:10!!!
I challenged everyone to prepare the entire month of October to give liberally on the last Sunday as we have officially named October 26..."MIRACLE SUNDAY". You will see reminders and encouraging thoughts about this all month long.
We will be using that HUGE offering from "Miracle Sunday" for Benevolence, disaster relief in Texas, Children in our community, and other special needs within our community.
"Miracle Sunday" will be ONE SERVICE at Berkeley High School (I can't wait). The service will be at 10:30am. We will then all go to Santee Canal Park for our annual Fall Festival!!! Did I already say I CAN'T WAIT!!!! I love it when our entire family gets to come together.
Remember...What we are doing is - "Storing up treasure in Heaven"!!!
