Sermon on the Mount | Building a Life | Matthew 7:21-29 | Week 14

My family has been here two years and we just love this body and being at South Fellowship and plugging in with the Young Adults.  A few weeks ago, we were going to have a worship night and I had this vision months before.  We were going to have lots of young adults come to the great outdoors of Colorado and enjoy seeing the creation God has created.  We'd have the mountains in the background and enjoy worshipping our Creator outside.  We've ended previous summers with a worship night in the park (Clement Park).  I was really excited about this year and wanted to plan something really cool.  A few months ago, the Ascent Project Band led worship here at South and my wife and I looked at each other and said, "This would be a great band to lead that night."  I contacted them and they were willing to come.  Our own Erich Schmitt came out and set up all his sound equipment.  Earlier in the day, there was a chance of rain forecasted.  I was praying, "God, this night is for you. A hundred young adults would be coming to worship you.  We're going to see what you're going to do tonight."  Everybody was praying for no rain.  My wife called me when she brought the kids to the park and asked, "Do you think we should go to the library first?"  I told them not to take the risk so they went to the library.  

Let me tell you about my family.  I'm married to Ellen.  She's an incredible mom, an author, and passionate worship leader.  We have four kids:  David, Emily, Lucy, and Elizabeth.  We've been blessed with their energy, excitement and their joy in our life.  I'm beginning my third year at Denver Seminary...
