Topple...

Easter Sunday breathes new life into us for many reasons. Personally, it started with seeing our New Life CityChurch family and worshipping together. This was truly a blessed time for worship and building deeper relationships. We even broke an attendance record….and perhaps an unofficial record for coffee consumption.

Afterwards, we spent time with family and friends eating incredible food and sharing stories around the table. After the youngest kids went on an easter egg hunt, most of us found chairs in the backyard.

And what better way to cap off the day than with one of our favorite pastimes: Giant Jenga.

This was particularly challenging because it was pretty windy outside. After a few embarrassing rounds…we started to get the hang of it.

As each turn came around, the tension mounted. Some of us boldly seized the moment with daring moves, while others approached cautiously, wary of the tower’s impending collapse.

Amidst laughter and cheers, we savored the camaraderie and excitement of the game.
With every sway of the tower, we held our breath, never knowing if it would stand or fall.

In one memorable game, it was my turn, and the tower teetered on the brink. Summoning my championship mindset, I boldly requested my anthem: “Eye of the Tiger.” With nerves of steel, I made my move, and to everyone’s amazement, the tower stood strong.

Let’s Goooooo!
Life often feels like a Giant Jenga game, with moments of intense decision-making and shared anticipation. Yet, unlike the precariousness of the tower, our spiritual lives are anchored by the supernatural power of Christ.

I look forward to beginning the second part of our series in Philippians, “The Good Life of Christ” by studying Philippians 3:1-11, “Humble worship is our response to steadfast faith.” I hope you can join us while we not only discover why it’s important to remain steadfast but also how to do it.

I can’t wait to share more, but you have to come Sunday at 8:00, 9:15 (Full KidCity available), or 10:45 am (Full KidCity available), or you can watch the Livestream on YouTube (Like and Subscribe) or Facebook at 9:15 am. Additionally, we are also publishing our sermons on Spotify.

Troy
