24 Hours

In high school, I was part of a successful swim team. Today, I’m part of a successful church team. This past weekend we saw 2,460 join our Easter services. On top of that, 160 came forward to receive Christ. So naturally in staff meeting on Tuesday, we are faced with this: What’s Next?

On the swim team, Coach Brewer knew we were successful. But many times after a win, our heads would get big and we lose focus of our goal: the championship. So he gave us these words after each win and loss: “You have 24 hours to remember this meet. If we win, enjoy it. If we lose, sulk over it. But 24 hours from now, we move on, learn from it, and move towards our goal.”

This weekend we saw an attendance of 2,460. We have had our 24 hours to enjoy it, learn from it, and now we continue on towards the goal. We can’t linger on this success. We should be grateful and thank God for it, yes, but then strive to get these new guests plugged in, serving, baptized, and growing. Our goal is for all to know the name of God. We had a great weekend at Barefoot Church. Our 24 hours of enjoying that success are up. Let’s take our next step together towards our goal.
