We are out of room!

I have heard this for about 2 months from different people at Life Church. First off, I love it when people say this. It means they are realizing that to reach more people with the message of the Gospel we need more seats, space, kids classrooms, etc... Secondly, it makes me excited for what's to come.
If you asked me if I thought LCF would be where it's at today, I would have said probably not. I learned over the last year that God's gonna do what He wants. If we are ready, willing, open and available he will "show up" do amazing things. I believe He has shown me my faith was way to small for what He could do at LCF. So, now, I am just saying: "Ok God. Whatever. However. As much as you want. I am in." Do I have doubts? Sure. But I keep coming back to Him and believing and trusting for big things.
I believe God has only started in this movement and community we call Life Church Franklin. He is not done and we should never be either. Let's keep praying for big things. Asking Him for more people to share the truth of Jesus with. Asking him to provide and make a way for it all to happen.
Some people might thing we are already to big at LCF. Sure, we have to manage the growth and stayed connect (that's what Life Groups for), but there are people all around us in Franklin that are lost in darkness and going to hell unless we speak up and share God's truth. Craig Groeschel recently said that his church, LifeChurch.tv, can't be called a megachurch when 4 billion people in the world don't know Jesus.
We can't never be satisfied that we have shared or reached enough people with the Gospel! I pray it burns in your heart, soul and mind that we have a lot of work to do and through God's power He can use us to lead people to become fully devoted followers of Christ!
AMEN.
