Weekend Rewind

• Today was INTENSE! The entire Ultimate Fighter series has been like that, but today was probably one of the most intense of the series. I said at the beginning of the message that we weren’t going to pull any punches and we didn’t. I said some things today that needed to be said in a way that it was very clear. It was probably uncomfortable for some. But here’s what I believe – there’s a lot of people who just want to hear the truth. And way too many of our churches fail to tell the unvarnished truth. We’re so obsessed with “going deep” that we fail to talk about the issues where we live our lives everyday. The stuff we talked about today is reality and one thing I will never back away from is talking about the everyday battles we fight.

• Nervous applause at the end of the feature song! Lips Of An Angel…in church? You better believe it! I don’t know of a better song to illustrate what we were talking about today. One thing I love about our church – we have a team that’s not afraid to push the envelope to get the message across.

• Guys, let me say it again: if you’re struggling with sexual temptation and/or sexual sin, this one will destroy you. It will destroy EVERYTHING – your relationship with God, your relationship with your wife and family, your reputation, your career. This is one where Satan definitely “steals, kills and destroys.”

• If you need help, WE’RE HERE! Celebrate Recovery meets every Tuesday night at 7:00 at NHC, and it’s not just for addicts. It’s for anyone with hurts, habits or hang-ups. Email us at info@newhorizonchurch.tv and we’ll get you hooked up.

• Guys, the single most important thing you can do is develop your personal walk with God. Get intentional about time with God everyday! It’ll change your life more than anything I know of.

• Interesting note: I got more positive response from women about how women dress than I expected. Seems that lots of women are just as uncomfortable with how some women dress as I am!

• Just so you know – I did say “cleavage” in all three services.

• Bottom line for everyone – fall more in love with Jesus and develop your personal walk with him!!

I'm so glad that you spoke out!!! I think a lot of ladies feel the way these others do. Modesty seems to be a disease to some but I'd prefer not to see cleavage especially when I go to worship the Lord. So many people really need to hear that Christians should be in the world but not of it. thanks Dave!! Great Message!! Amenx10

I agree on the cleavage. From a personal standpoint, I have my own, so I don't need to see yours, and from a wife's standpoint, Satan has enough weapons in his arsenal to throw at my husband without adding your torpedos into the mix! Thanks for not pulling any punches, Dave!
