Rev rock in the pulpit this weekend
If anyone cares I preached at the Grove this weekend on orphans and the oppressed. You can listen to it here if you'd like. If you own a storage unit you might not want to listen...actually, you should listen. No more apologies. I'd love to hear feedback, good and bad. I'm a big boy, I can take it. I'd love to hear if anyone is open to the possibility of bringing someone into their house.

iTunes is slow and hasnt picked it up yet. they can listen to it from here: http://www.thegrove.cc/feeds/pod/default.aspx
so I went to my storage place, picked up my laptop drove back home and set up my laptop in the empty room, downloaded the sermon and listened.
THANKS now I have to reconsider EVERYTHING!!!!
would you have considered adoption if you were able to have your own kids?
video is now up FYI
DAN you nailed it!
You'll have to visit my blog to see my response. Does the oprahesque book club still exists? What's next?
Yeah anonymous...we would of still adopted. We had always thought biological first and adoption second but that's not what God had for us. I'm so glad he worked it out this way. I wouldn't change a thing! Alyssa spent a month in Ukraine when we were at Simpson working in an orphanage and it really changed her life. I've always wanted to adopt. What's up with all these anonymous posts? I like to know who's in here. Reveal yourself!
your preaching always makes me wish you started your own church again.
it's been really cool to see God lay these things on your heart so heavily lately. it encourages me to turn passion into movement.
as always, thanks for sharing.
cant believe no one has commented on that SWEET countryman microphone.
i have three minutes left of your sermon. i am stunned. shocked. i appreciate your words. i do think that americans need to "spread the wealth".
on the other hand, with three minutes left there has been no mention of your church. no mention of the fact that you are preaching from a brand new multi-million dollar facility that took years to build. i don't understand how a church that just spent so much money on a building can sit back and listen and not consider what they have just done.
how many kids in third world countries could have been saved if the grove decided to get one less flat screen tv for the foyer? i understand that your church does a lot - but just as you said... shouldn't the grove be sacrificing even more? you talked about the square footage of homes... how about the square footage of church buildings? you spoke of people entering homes and asking how many people lived there? what about your church building? if your church is about this "mission" open up your building. change it to low-income housing. let people live there for free. instead of promoting concerts and art shows draw the trash of society and let them LIVE where you worship. wouldn't that be fulfilling the greatest command "for the least of these..."
i would love to see a church, someday, actually do this. actually, literally open their doors and do this. probably won't happen in america.
yes, i appreciate your words but i'm not sure how a guy who promotes concerts for a living and goes to work every day at a church that has more space and is richer than many cities in africa can really be saying it.
it is your process and i wish you well on your journey. i hope you don't take offense to my "soap box".
i'd love to hear from anyone that goes to the church. thoughts or anything. i'm really not trying to be harsh, just real, with my feedback.
