What a fun day last Sunday was! It was so great to all be on the same campus “being NorthStar”! I have been flooded with such encouragement this week, and I want to pass some of them on to you:
Brad, it was great today at Northstar....where?????....DALLAS! Saw some people who recently decided to come back to Northstar. Very excited about the Dallas campus, and telling everyone about this great new location!
Praying for you and your staff :) May the Fire of the Holy Spirit hover over the church this Sunday and every Sunday following..Amen!! May the blessings of the Lord pour in and I pray that many accept HIM as their LORD AND SAVIOR.... Expanding the Kingdom that's what it's all about..
After crying all the way to church-then having a blast...CJ told his g-parents on the phone "We got a NEW church. Our old church was old so we got a NEW one. It's awesome!!!"
We are both Christians but grew up in very different churches. He in a more modern worship style and myself in a southern baptist establishment. After we became a couple, and more recently after I rededicated my life to Christ, we decided to find a church we both loved. [Someone] had been trying to get us to come to a North Star service but I was dead set against "that" kind of church. I prayed and asked God to open my heart to a different style of worship and after one Sunday at North Star I was sold! Brock and I felt not only welcome, but at home! We attended the 20th and the whole week after I was ready to be back at the Lord's house, more specifically at North Star! So my reason for emailing you is simple, we are ready and willing to come be a part of what is happening at North Star Dallas! After talking and praying we agreed that we not only want to attend, but also give our time and energy! So, we were wondering where we would be most useful! If you could direct us into where we could serve the best, that would be great! We really are excited for what is going to be happening in our own community! Our prayers are already with you guys!
"If I didn't stress it enough. Great job, team. It felt like a real church on the first. And that had nothing to do with the music or video."
Service this morning was great. Look forward to seeing Northstar – Dallas grow.
We've been praying you through this week. The LORD Himself is planting and establishing His faithful servants out in Dallas "for such a time as this"--for the people who live out there right now to have those seeds of truth cast on their soil. You're bringing truth to their backyard! And how amazing to consider that all of this is for THIS time within the eternal Kingdom of our God. We are praying for your strength, your encouragement, and also for your GREAT JOY in seeing the collision between all of you doing what you can do, and God showing up to do what He alone can do. So excited!
100 years from now this will all be a distant memory and people will walk up to you in heaven and say thank you for being willing to follow GOD’s lead and starting a church in Dallas. That is where I accepted Christ as my Savior! How awesome will that be!
What an amazing day yesterday was- I could hardly move last evening but the Joy of the day was overwhelming!!!! Glad God did not quit nudging me :) Ok- hitting me over the head!!! Praying for you and the whole team!!
