Hillcrest Church of Christ is having a gospel meeting this week.

They are located at

1939 Snapfinger Rd, Decatur, GA 30035

You can contact the church by calling: (404) 289-4573.

The Golden Voices from the West End Church of Christ will be performing on Wednesday. The preacher for this gospel meeting is Bro. David Jones from the Schrader Lane Church of Christ

I think the nightly service starts at 7:00PM. I’ll have to confirm that information. I’d call the church to be on the safe side. See ya on Wednesday!

I know I need to give you guys the notes from yesterday’s revival. They’ll be up later today. I’ve got to get some sleep. You know you can’t argue with TWO preachers. It seems as though Bro. Lee enjoyed the singing on Sunday so much that he requested an encore. Now normally, The Golden Voices don’t do last minute performances, but Tommy made an exception this time. So if you missed Sunday, you get another chance to hear some great preaching AND singing. Notes later today! I promise.

I was so tired from yesterday that all I could do was come home and go to bed so I didn’t get to post my review of Day 1 of the Revival so I decided to combine Day 1 and Day 2.

If you missed Day 1 you really missed some good ole fashioned “Chuch”. Bro. Gerald Lee, Sr of the South Union Church of Christ in Houston Texas delivered a powerful sermon on Sunday Morning. Bro. Lee is using examples from the old testament to show how easy it is to fall away and what happens when you don’t turn 100% to God. You can order a copy of the CD by going to West End Church of Christ’s website. Be sure to ask for the 10:45AM service on 04/22/2007.

After we had a delicious meal and an abbreviated service(everyone was full and suffering from that “itis”), the Gospel Messengers and the Golden Voices(which I am a part of) sang. Then I went home and collapsed and didn’t get up until the next day.

Tonight, Bro. Lee treated us to another stirring lesson.

Notes follow (there may be misspellings here, these are old testament names after all)…

“Almost Revival”

2 Kings 12:1-3

Things Israel were guilty of at that time in their history.

1. “Follow the Leader Faith”

As long as the faithful leader was alive everything was fine. As soon as he died, all heck broke loose.(This is DeAnna’s interpretation of the lesson)

2 Kings 12:2

2 Chronicles 24:17

obesiance- acknowledgement of another’s superiority or importance (kissing butt-again, DeAnna’s interpretation)

left the house of the Lord 2 Chronicles 24:18

little personal conviction on Joash’s part. Joash needed personal dedication. He agreed to the covenant but he had no conviction. Joash was a follower not a leader.

Quote to remember: The original never tries to look like the copy.

“Personal Relationship” Good

“Leader Based Relationship” Not good

Quote to remember: It’s not the leader that causes things to happen. The people do.

Leader Based=ignorant spirit.

2. Neglecting the strongholds

2 Kings 12:3 high places not taken away

Modern high places=places where god isn’t sovreign

hidden hills, “those habits”, “practicing sins”, inappropriate relationships

New word from Bro. Lee: “shim”

Temptations

Plans; Don’t want the Lord messing with.

Are you willing to lower your dignity or your reputation to keep these habits up?

3. Surrendered the Sacred

2 Kings 12:17&18

gave holy “stuff” to Hazael

When faced with a crisis Joash doesn’t turn to God; he surrendered his sacred things.

*Probing questions*

When push comes to shove in your life, what gives way?

When the Budget Gets Tight, What Gets Cut?

When Something Exciting is happening on Sunday Morning or Sunday Evening, where do you find yourself?

When your daily schedule is tight what waits? Laundry or God?

There was also a shocking quote from a rather famous individual here, but I have to double check and make sure I get it right before I post it.

2 Kings 24:20 Zechariah was the son of Jehoiada

Joash killed the messenger.

God’s praise team is the church

(DeAnna’s addendum: In the Church of Christ, during worship everyone sings. We don’t have one choir sing and everyone listens. We also don’t have instrumental music. It’s commanded for us to sing. Read Col. 3:16 and Eph. 5:19)

That’s all for today. You can still be a part of this revival. It starts at 7:30PM (for those of you on CP time, come at 7:00). Directions are on West End’s site. I look forward to seeing you there.

Our Spring Revival starts this Sunday April 22nd! If you need a spiritual pick me up then you don’t want to miss a day!  The Revival takes place from Sunday through Thursday night.  For times and other information go to the West End Church of Christ’s website!  I look forward to seeing you there.

There’s a lot going on in the Churches of Christ in the Atlanta area next week.

There are three different gospel meetings taking place.

Shaeffer Rd Church of Christ, Bouldercrest Church of Christ and Greenbriar Church of Christ are each having a gospel meeting betwen October 15th and October 19th. My suggestion: Church Hop! Go to one church on Sunday, Go to the next one on Monday and so on and so forth. That way you’ll get a great variety!

Also, there will be a FREE health fair at the West End Church of Christ on October 28, 2006 between 10Am and 3 PM. It’s open to the whole metro Atlanta community, so come on out. We’re going to have free health screenings and workshops. For more information just go to the website by clicking on the words West End Church of Christ. Well that’s all for now. I’m handling the publicity for the West End Health Fair, so I’ve got lots more work to do. Until next time…

There is going to be a gospel meeting next week at West End Church of Christ. The dates for this event are April 30th-May 4th. On Sunday, you'll get a chance to hear the chorus(which I'm a member of) sing. All of the details are on the website, so stop by and visit the website before you come to the gospel meeting. I'll see you there.
