This Sunday @ C3 Church we launch a new series called, “Christmas Vacation.” We’re going to journey through Christmas in a fresh way. What if this year we could take a vacation from all the “stuff” of Christmas and experience the season in a new way. This year “what if” could become “what is” as we begin Christmas Vacation!
Experience C3 Sunday with those you care about… invest and invite and get people there!
(PS - the issue with the C3 website is resolved and it should be back online soon)
Sunday @ C3 we talked about “Great Sex.” I’ve gotten a ton of questions/emails/facebook messages about issues people are wrestling with. Here are a few questions you asked:
1. How do I tell my spouse I have an STD? You know you have to tell them. Without knowing more (how long this has been an issue, if it’s the result of an affair, the mindset/emotional state of your spouse, etc.) this isn’t a simple answer. If you asked this question please email or contact our office and we’ll do all we can to help you. The bottom line is they deserve to know now, but how you tell them depends on many factors.
2. How do you save your marriage after infidelity? This is challenging for many reasons. You’ve experienced such a deep level of betrayal, but there is hope. Forgiveness is both a choice and a process. To restore trust and intimacy takes time and effort from both. For restoration to take place will not only take time, but a deep commitment from both - saving the marriage becomes a real priority. There is no set formula, I would encourage you to get some help - seek Christian counseling. If you don’t know anyone, contact us and well put you in touch with someone who can help.
3. As an unmarried woman, I was not given the choice when I lost my virginity. I want to know, does God blame me and does he expect me to save myself still for my future husband, even though now it means nothing to me? As you’ve found out, feeling violated steals something from you but that’s not why God wants you to save yourself. Often women think there suppose to save themselves for their husbands because it’s best for the husband. It’s also best for you. While the first experience was not your choice, this one is. God doesn’t blame you for something that wasn’t your choice, and God can help you heal from that. It does mean something to you, perhaps more than you even know. Your no less special, I believe God not only loves you, but has a great plan for your future.
This series has reminded me how so many have been so hurt in life. Often we wrestle with deep issues that we’re afraid to voice. You don’t have to spend your life wondering… God does love you and wants to be close to you.
If you have a middle school or high school student make sure they’re at Crave this week (Wed pm) - I’ll be speaking about an issue all of our teens deal with. Students - I’m pumped about being with you this week!
This Sunday we’ll wrap up “Google” - don’t miss this week, it will be awesome! Invest and Invite…
Google - Great Sex from C3 Church on Vimeo.
This Sunday @ C3 we’re continuing the “Google” series. One of the hottest topics people are interested in is sex. How do you have great sex? Sunday I’m going to be brutally honest about this often misunderstood and misused subject. Many adults, and teens, and had sex, but what is Great Sex and is it attainable? Is there something more than what you’ve experienced? Don’t miss this Sunday @ C3 as we “Google” Great Sex.
(I’ll also be answering some of your questions in the message… - invite people like crazy!).
It’s been a long, blogless week. I’ve just been slammed. We’ve had a ton to accomplish and it’s been productive, but it’s been overwhelming at points. It’s done.
Today’s just been a chill day. The weather is phenom and the weekends are always jacked.
Tonight we’ll be passing out candy and also info about C3 childrens ministry. There’s no other time when people are going to bring children right to your door - huge opportunity for the church. I look forward to meeting more of my neighbors, having fun, and getting out more info about the incredible children’s experience at C3.
Here are a few more things I’m looking forward to:
- This Sunday at C3 as we continue “Google” with “Is this another great depression?” With so many hurting during these challenging financial times, we’re looking for answers. How do we navigate this? What should the church do?
- Nov. 7 with our volunteers. If you volunteer in a ministry of C3, please email info@c3orlando.com to get more info or to sign up for that evening. Because of space you’ll want to register quickly, also due to space limitations this is only for those who volunteer.
- I can’t wait to share the biggest initiative C3 has ever launched. On Nov. 7th I’ll be sharing it with our volunteers, then on Nov. 9 I’ll be sharing it with the whole church. This is going to blow your mind… it’s a huge opportunity!
- Cooler weather.
- Dallas winning (who am I kidding… that’s really 50/50 each week).
- The new C3 website, which will be launching very soon @ www.c3church.cc (more info coming later).
- Another chance this weekend to bring people to C3 so they can experience hope and know Christ.
