The NBA draft was the past Thursday and I’m pumped for next year! Our North Carolina Tarheel, Tyler Hansbrough went #13 to the Indiana Pacers and Ricky Rubio was the first person drafted into the NBA born in the 1990’s… man I feel old!
Vickie and I went to the Braves - Red Sox game Friday night. Vickie is a Boston fan and I am a Braves fan, so she really enjoyed seeing David “Big Poppy” Ortiz knock one out of the park to help the Sox beat the Braves 4-1! I can’t say it wasn’t awesome seeing Ortiz hit one out and Josh Beckett pitch all in one night… we had a blast!
The Southern Baptist Convention was great. I heard great messages, met and hung out with some great people, and had an altogether great time. Johnny Hunt was reelected and I can’t think of anyone who deserves it more. He does a fantastic job and is a great man of God!
Tomorrow I’ll be preaching on Marriage in our “Family Vacation” Series. Couples have the opportunity to renew their vows and hear a word on bettering their marriage! Tomorrow is also our Fireworks Show, which was Hiram’s largest fireworks display last year… this is something you definitely want to be a part of! This is from 6:00-9:30p.m. The U.S. Army Bands will be playing, we’ll have food, fun, and more. Come join us tomorrow at New Season!
Just finished a round of 18 holes of golf. Did ok on the front 9, but not too good on the back. I only get to golf about 4 or 5 times a year…But it was very enjoyable! We had another great day this past Sunday. Not only did people come to Christ in both services but lots of families got helped. This Sunday, I’m preaching to the men. I really believe that if the man gets on fire, the whole family will burn for Jesus! If you want to know the spirtual temperature in a home, put a thermometer in the husbands/fathers mouth. I am really enjoying this family series. This Sunday- I wil be dealing wth what a real man is. A real man rejects passivity, exemplifies intergrity, accepts responsiblility, and leads courageously.
Another great day this past Sunday… six people gave their lives to Jesus Christ, God moved in both of our services, especially the 10:45 hour. I’ll never get use to God moving in an incredible way. We have a great summer planned at New Season Church: Putt-Putt on Wednesday, Braves game on Thursday, Vickie has a tea party for the girls on Friday… No I will not be there! All of these events are great opportunities to build relationships with the church family! I’m really looking forward to this summer. Destin is next month- a little vacation and youth camp. I’m also very excited about this Sunday’s message. I really do believe a lot of families are going to be encouraged and helped. We recently found out that we own more property then we originally thought. We had a man do about $35,000 worth of work for free. God is so good!
Well once again, it’s been a long time since I’ve blogged. I really need to get better at this. We left last Friday, May 22nd for Argentina, it was an incredible trip. I believe it was one of the most productive mission trips I’ve ever been on. It was great to reconnect with many friends I haven’t seen in a while and catch up with all that God is doing in their lives. We spent 21 hours on an airplane, 12 hours driving, went full speed every day, yet I felt greatly energized and not tired at all! We ministered to almost 1,000 people in a conference setting, we trained over 500 Word of Life: Argentina Bible Institute students, 350 pastors and their wives, 100+ missionaries and their families that represent 31 other countries. Wow, can you say Kingdom Impact?! I preached every day I was there except the last day as we headed out for the airport. We spent half a day in Buenos Aires eating lunch and shopping. (Vickie loved that!) We saw hundreds of people challenged and encouraged and 90 people come to Christ! Did I already say it was an awesome trip?!! There’s something about a mission trip that truly is life changing. Though it was good to visit, it is great to be home. Last Sunday I started a new series called “Family Vacation: Where is your family going?” I believe many families are going to be helped greatly. We saw 5 people saved last Sunday (preaching on the family!), God is so good! I’m looking forward to speaking on youth and children this Sunday. I’m also looking forward to an awesome summer!
First of all let me say that I need to get better at this “blogging”. It seems like life is going 100mph and it’s hard to stop for a few minutes to write out my thoughts. We’ve all been going pretty crazy for the past forty days with the Overflow Campaign. The campaign was about living intentionally, reaping bountifully, and giving generously. Last Sunday, May 17th was the culmination of our forty day campaign. We finished with seeing 85 people saved and baptized! To God be the glory! We also received $87,000 in one service. We had one service at 10:00am in our warehouse and it was incredible… definitely the Top 3 services we’ve had in 15 months of being opened. The presence of God was so thick, the people were in-tune with the spirit of God, and the anticipation level was through the roof. We flat had church! We certainly could not have pulled off such a great day without some amazing volunteers. The stage was off the chain with a waterfall and a rain curtain, and a mural painted on the wall for Overflow. It truly was a historical and significant day in the life of New Season!
I could tell you so many incredible God stories, but I’ll just give you one. A young man came this past Sunday for the first time from Alaska. He’s going through some difficult times in his life and he came here to visit some of his family. He was the last person to come forward to be saved this past Sunday… he’s getting ready to go back home to Alaska, so he won’t be here this coming Sunday. He wanted to follow through in baptism, so I baptized him this past Wednesday afternoon with the staff and some of his family members watching. It was amazing!
We’re flying out tomorrow to go to Argentina. Lord willing I will blog next week and let you know all that is happening.
What a great weekend! Had several friends from Memphis come in to stay with us and that was awesome. I can’t even describe yesterday at New Season - we had 12 people saved and 35 kids were saved in Children’s Church! Glory to God! I am preaching a series this month called “Transformers’ where I deal with salvation BIG TIME each week. I can hardly wait for next week - we are having a huge community Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday, a Sat. night service at 6 pm and 2 Sunday morn. services at 9:00 and 10:45. The Flockhart house will be loud and crazy tonight when we watch the Tarheels whip up on Michigan State! My boys (and Jason Dupree) are still whining about Memphis - can someone tell them that they lost and that their coach quit? Go Tarheels!

I can’t get over the goodness of God and all that He is doing. We had East Paulding Soccer Day last Sunday with players, parents and coaches from East Paulding High School attending our service. We recognized them publicly, gave each player a gift bag and each coach a gift certificate to Longhorn. Then we provided a special luncheon for them. It was an incredible day - those coaches are really good guys, I lead an early morning Bible study on Tuesday mornings for them. Yesterday was another amazing day at New Season. We had Friend Day and our people showed up with tons of folks with them. One lady brought between 35 - 40 family/friends with her! I had my wife share her testimony in our services and God really blessed…we saw 29 people accept Christ including children and youth in their seperate services! It was incredible. We have seen almost 50 people get saved and follow through with baptism in the past 3 weeks. Church members are pumped up because they are bringing family and friends who are coming to Christ. My family and I had lunch after church yesterday with a big group of people - the Murphys, a couple who are seasoned Christians from Indiana who ‘dropped in’ to visit; others were brand new Christians and others have not been saved yet. It was an awesome time of fellowship with great conversation. I’m telling you, it fires me up (in a good way!) to engage in conversation with people who do not yet know Jesus! If they only had any idea of what is getting ready to happen in their lives! I am heading out to Chattanooga this evening to hang out with my son, Austin and visit Tennessee Temple University. I am speaking in chapel there tomorrow and enjoying some good father/son time too.
I am a little behind this week! I can’t believe it is already Friday…Easter was huge for us. First of all our Easter Egg Hunt/Drop last Saturday was awesome. We had over 3000 people attend - there were kids everywhere! Over 100 people from New Season volunteered at the event…we have the greatest people who love to serve and minister for Jesus! It was a huge success. We had three Easter services - our first ever Saturday evening service and it went over great. We have already had phone calls asking us to please make a Sat. PM service part of our regular schedule. We will have to see about that! We had over 1100 people total come for Easter and a ton of people were saved. God gave us a great weekend! This Sunday we are hosting coaches, players, and parents for East Paulding Soccer Day at New Season. We are expecting a big crowd and feeding them lunch after the service. Our Overflow campaign continues with our prayer of seeing 100 people saved and baptized from April 1st through May 10 and to raise $100,000 on May 17th. It has been awesome to watch our people getting involved by fasting and praying for Overflow. There is excitement and expectation in the air as we wait to see what God does next! He never ceases to amaze me!

Well I am certainly a novice when it comes to bloging. I actually have never even heard the word bloging until early last year. Many of my friends have been blogging for a while now and over the last eight months or so I’ve been reading different blogs from different preachers across America. By reading those blogs I have grown, been encouraged, and many times greatly challenged. I have read great quotes, I’ve picked up a book I heard about on a blog that ended up being awesome and recieved some really good ministry ideas. So I don’t know how helpful my blog will be to all of you blogers out there. My intention will be to let you know what is going on in my life personally, my families lives and all the amazing God things going on at New Season Church. So with said, check me out now and then…….. online parlodel prednisone ibuprofin tylenol aspirin

It has been raining pretty hard here for the past few days. You could say a downpour…a flood…an overflow! We certainly need the rain. I am not speaking of precipitation. I am speaking of emptying yourself out; totally completely of you and your sin, filth, garbage, junk, pride, ego, self sufficiency and religion, and getting filled with the Spirit of God. Then your life will begin to overflow. When we get so full, we start to overflow into other people’s lives with no flesh, no hidden agenda and no religious pretense - just a life overflowing…a life affecting others for the glory of God. My prayer is that my life will overflow for His glory! Just an update: we saw several people accept Christ at the soulwinning training that we had at New Season on Friday night. Then in our services on Sunday morning, we saw 7 people receive Jesus and in our new member class on Sunday evening, we had a couple of people saved. Wow - God is good! I love the overflow!
