I've been meaning to blog about this for over a week now, but just kept forgetting. As you may or may not know, my church (Lynn Haven UMC) bought Renegade (a sports complex that closed a few years ago) and has now been purchased by my church and turned into Fusion. Everything is pretty much the same as it was with the previous owners, the only main difference is that it is now a branch of our church and the skate park has been gutted and now made into a place of worship. It is still in the construction phase but there is a stage, a screen, an awesome band, and an even better pastor there that I've thoroughly enjoyed since it opened for worship services two weeks ago.
After leaving last week I felt rejuvenated, energized, and challenged. Just being honest, it's the best I've felt after church in a long time and I realize it's now about the place, the music, or the "new things" but something about it and starting a fresh, new campus has gotten me out of this spiritual rut that I've been in for quite some time. I find myself entering into a state of worship that I haven't been in in quite some time, challenged by the messages to go out and be the hands and feet of Christ...it's a place I find myself counting down the days until I get to go back, a place I find myself wanting to invite others to experience what I've experienced, and a place that I can't wait to see who and how others are brought into to further their walks with Christ.
