Find Your Fit

This week our emphasis at TheBOD will be on FIND YOUR FIT.  As a practice we encourage BODers to Serve One, Attend One.  The following week we'll talk about taking a Spiritual Gifts Assessment but for now scan the abridged version I nabbed from Lifechurch.tv and begin to see if you can FIND YOUR FIT.

Live Preaching

This may come as a shock to some of you but we have decided to change our system and go to a real-life flesh and blood in-the-person preacher each week.  I've attached a photo so you guys can get used to the idea before Sunday.  Thanks to our friend Patrick Moore at Life Church in Franklin, NC for the great idea.  :)  DON'T BLINK!

 
  Craig is kind of letting himself go....

Missional Church Simple

A simple and creative way to understand the difference in what we are trying to accomplish and maybe what you have pictured from past church experience.  An important note is the fact that it's not just about doing good but TAKING THE GOSPEL into the everyday fabric of life.  BEING the Gospel in real ways.  Thanks to Brad Brisco at Missional Church Network for the post. 

BEAT the odds

Cool story.  This shot was set up as a prank with a promise of Final Four tickets should this coach sink the shot blind folded.  The crowd was told to go crazy not matter what so he would think he had won the tickets at least for a few minutes.  Well.... there were no tickets because of course there is no way he could make the shot.... Watch the video.... Of course the boys felt bad for a prank gone bad and bought him a gift certificate to the local mexican restuarant... but once word got out offers are now coming in to buy him the tickets anyway.  What seems impossible really never is.  Reading through Exodus we see God breaking all of the rules for His people... thinking Red Sea today... I think He has, will and is doing the same for you.  Of course I'm not saying this shot was a God thing but I am saying that often what we take for granted IS.  DON'T BLINK.  You can read the whole article HERE.

It's Here!!!!

Lego King David

Granger is quickly becoming my favorite in the creative arts.  So creative.  David's life plastic coated and quick.

Lawrence... no chainsaw for you!

Lawrence wanted to borrow my chainsaw.  This is just one of many reasons I did not loan my chainsaw to a city slicker.  :)  Sorry L.B. I couldn't resist.

Gift Mart "Thank You"

Received a letter I thought I should share.  BODers, it's easy to move on to the next thing, but let me suggest you take a few minutes to thank God one more time for all He did in and through you as part of the Gift Mart.  Enjoy... DON'T BLINK!

Dear Pastor Roberts,

I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you, the church embodiment and all those connected with the Community Gift Mart Christmas event held December 5th, 2009.  What a blessing it was to me and to the community!  With so many people challenged by today's economy your generosity is Biblical proof that the Lord is strong.  Mighty is "Jehovah Jireh" our provider.  I know and keep in my spirit that He works in and through His people.

I thank God for you and I pray God's choice blessings to you, your family and TheBOD.tv Church.  May you all receive the hundred-fold blessing for all you do.  You have yet to see all God has in store for TheBOD church in the River Valley and this very nation.

In His Care, C.W.
