Preaching what you practice?

sermon notes
Top right is a direct quote from Pastor Chuck. i added the “hyper local” note.

Pastor Chuck said, “Plan A is the local Church. There is no plan B.”

i go one step further to say that Plan A is hyper-local, the people you live next to and the families you drive by before turning down your street.

.think .differently

Being different is better than being better.

Note: On yesterday’s walk to the 9:30AM service, stopped to talk to Mike, who’s home is separated from Lakeside Church only by the Church’s chain-link fence. Anyway, after talking with Mike, asked if i could give him a hug. He accepted. Church is every step. Had to jog the next half-mile to the Church to make up for the time spent talking with Mike. Totally not an inconvenience.

6 Prioritized Personal Values

father and son next to Disney Institute van
He’s a college upper classperson now. He knows the Disney Way better than anyone else his age. Better than most at any age.

Shared these six in descending order. Started and stayed with Honesty from the time he could talk to about 4 or 5. Note: This is the prioritized order.

  1. Honesty
  2. Behave admirably
  3. Personal responsibility
  4. Self-control
  5. Initiative
  6. Fun

Behave admirably, personal responsibility and self-control were rolled out when he started doing sleepovers.

Initiative rolled out in middle school.

Fun got introduced as a High School upper classperson.

  1. Honesty
  2. Behave admirably
  3. Personal responsibility
  4. Self-control
  5. Initiative
  6. Fun
