Effect

Tonight was a pretty sweet night in the Effect. How could it not when you start the night with a game of gladiator dodgeball in the Fieldhouse. Put some tables up on their sides, split the teams up, put some dodgeballs on the line and . . . DODGEBALL.

I have to admit, I was doing pretty good and knocking out some of the big hitters until I had a wardrobe malfunction. One final wind up and toss when I felt a breeze coming from my right back pocket. It had grown in size. It's times like that I'm so thankful for duct tape.

Niel Diener rocked the mic as he shared about not giving in to the traps of temptation that Satan likes to throw at us. He did an amazing job of incorporating the attributes of dodgeball etiquette and game players while interweaving how our Christian walk sometimes looks like that. I love it when a good game can add to spiritual insight.

We ended the night with:

Center w/ Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus
Give Us Clean Hands
Marvelous Light
I Am Free w/ Streets Have No Name

Powerful time in worship where we asked God to focus us on Him and not our temptations and ended celebrating the freedom we have in Christ. My prayer is that we can live in the promises and leave the problematic pressures of temptation behind. It's time to live FREE just like He created us to be.
