Dealing Great Commissioners

This past Sunday @ BPC was great! We welcomed 2 second time guests & 1 first time guest to our service. We are grateful & so excited that God has chosen to send to BPC REAL people every week for the past 16 weeks to check us out!

Before the message we all played a game. Remember Monty Hall? He used to play a game with the audience (who was usually dressed in attention getting costumes) at the end of “Let’s Make a Deal” Monty would ask them to show him…a penny, book of matches, band-aid, etc. The person who produced that item 1st won $$. Well BPCers were not dressed in attention costumes but did receive a candy bar if they had the item asked for. The purpose of that…everyone should “Get in the Game.”

The last message in our “Get in the Game” series was entitled “Great Commissioners”. Great Commissioners understand that…it’s all about Jesus, know that eternity is at stake & are to be people magnets, not stone throwers. They share Christ through their God given personalities, know that when we die it’s either going to be 1 of 2 places & meet REAL people the way Jesus did, right where they are with Grace then Truth. I love this quote from Andy Stanley’s book “Communicating for a Change”. “People who were nothing like Jesus…liked Jesus.”

At the end of the service I invited everyone forward into their Great Commissioner destiny & challenged them to “Get in the Game” both personally & through our Outreach event in August called “CityReach.”

BTW: Let’s make a deal. Does anyone have on them a buffalo head nickel?
