back with a blog post the next day instead. =P
was really amazed at The eXchange tonight! aka Hillsong's cross campus joint easter sunday evening at the S.E.C. (aka Sydney's version of the ACC).
Sanga preached up a storm! dangs... a lot of the times, we focus on what the different "names" of God. i.e. Saviour. Healer. Provider. Almighty. Father. etc
so Sanga touched on who WE are called to be. he pretty much went thru the entire NT and picked out 1 word that describes us as christians, aka Christ followers. gunna see if i can buy a recording of tonight's msg. he definitely brought the Word!
and at some point during the night, i realized what prayer was. one aspect of it anyways.. might've been during the offering prayer. but its more than just "talking to God". but its actually letting go of all pride, admitting that i can't do this on my own. and its lifting it up, and completely releasing your worry/troubles to God. aka. i need help.
its like, what it means when you "lay it all down at the cross". its not get to the cross, lay down what your worries are, then pick em back up and take it with you. but no, its leaving it there, NAILED to the cross. theres no need to take any of it back! =)
Easter resurrection sunday indeed! the weekend of mourning is over. its time to celebrate the freedom we got (paid at a great cost) over 2000 years ago! HAPPY DAY!!!! =)
oh and at the end of the service, OH MY... HILLSONG YOUTH! it was absolutely nuts! im so excited for JAM2011 now! only at Hillsong would you get a moshpraise pit, with crowd surfing... at the end of the Easter Sunday service. haha...
okay... i promise myself. before i leave at the end of november, i will get back into that praise pit just one more time. thought i've outgrown the praise pit, and prefer the "happy in the seating/stands and not get shoved/jumped on" area. but i know its a totally different experience in the pit. haha...
