God is truly at work at APBC. As the day progressed the spirit was wonderful and the true Spirit moved in ways no one could have planned. One by one individuals shared that various aspects of the services touched them in personal, meaningful ways. Only God can move simultaneously in such different ways.
Today we experienced the exact reason for the need for the new Worship Center being constructed. With standing room only services it should not surprise anyone why God has directed us to build. But what does surprise me at times is why He uses us to lead His people to His throne. I don't know about you but there are times that I feel so inadequate to lead but with His love and support I have the strength to step out. Likewise each one of you have shown the same love and commitment for our Father.
As Christmas rushes upon us let me encourage you to slow down and enjoy family, friends and even yourself. After all, God made you the way you are so celebrate all you have to give back to God. Then ask God to prepare you for the year ahead. Look at the crowds and the excitement - it is obvious that this year will hold the unexpected. Let us all look for what God will do "with" us.
God Bless each one of you and have a great Christmas. See you next Sunday.

What a Musical!
Aspen Park Worship Arts Ministry you outdid yourselves again. This past weekend was an unbelievable worship experience and showed again why it is my pleasure to serve our Lord with you. As we go into the new year keep your focus on Him and we will continue to see amazing things.

Another Great Day
Today was another great day in God's house. The people came and you all gave. When the choir and orchestra warmed up this morning it was evident something special was going to happen. But noone could have predicted what was to follow. As the song started it was good but as it continued it became a song that will stand the test of time as one of the best.
The question we need to ask and answer is "What was different today?" That answer is a total reliance on God. Yes months of work is in the background and years of talent and rehearsals play a part but what it comes down to is a total reliance and a concept that we cannot do it without God. You all obviously stepped out and risked your talent to see what God could do with you and WOW He worked up an amzaing special.
As we go into this week we must not sit back and smile at this morning but rather enjoy how God used you but now look at what God can do with you Saturday and Sunday. Plan now to experience God in a new and fresh way as we present "The Gift of Heaven" to APBC, Broken Arrow and the surrounding communities. This morning the building was packed, almost SRO, and this weekend we expect just as many.
Truly God is getting the blessing,
Tom
