The new face of SIX33

So...
Let's see where this ride will take us.
It's been an interesting journey so far.
Ross King, in his song "Clear the Stage" writes:
"clear the stage and set the sound and lights ablaze
if that's the measure you must take to crush the idols
jerk the pews and all the decorations too
until the congregation's few then have revival
tell your friends that this is where the party ends
until you're broken for your sins you can't be social
seek the Lord and wait for what He has in store

and know that great is your reward so just be hopeful"
I had a great conversation with a couple of the youth in my youth group while we were in Las Vegas. There are some radical changes coming. We're moving toward being more focused and being deeply passionate about what we're doing (and why).

We've cleared the stage and have new sound and lights already. Hmm... I know that the song is speaking more figuratively than literally, but we're definitely on this path. We also got rid of the old plastic chairs in favor of the new cushy ones. We're definitely on our way.
Now as for the congregation being "few..." I want to see group passionate about knowing and seeking God. If it ends up being just a few of us to start with so be it. But that's where we're going on this path.
And we're going to seek the Lord and see what He's got for us.
Pray.
Pray.
Pray.

Let's just pray and see where God takes us.
(and of course, there will be queso along the way from time to time...)

Amen to that!!! we need to focus and pray. that will surely help. and i'm ok with it being only a small few if that's what it takes to really focus. Plus there is queso along the way so god and queso what more do you need? not much.

Hey Rob! its meagan lewis! I totally agree! i am really wanting to have a better relationship with God, and really focus on Him, and not feel like the atmosphere is contaminated with people that only come for their friends, and talk the whole way through the lesson, and dont sing during worship. i want to feel like a church family when i walk in that SIX33 door....i think that your new changes should really make a difference. just know that i am behind your back all the way, and if you need help with anything, let me know!

hey its christina yeah, yeah the one who got lost in Vegas. and yes i know where i am but even though we had our ups and downs in vegas it has personally made me closer to him and i could never descibe what that really means to me. The Power of Prayer in beyond measure we forget that God isn't a genni in a bottle and it does take patience i barely know the rules of patiences but i do know that God answers prayer
