Crabtree Congregants!

So, this weekend will be my first time speaking live at The Net in 6 weeks. We just finished an amazing series called At The Movies in which the teaching was 100% by video. During that time our church saw a 33% jump in attendance. This means there are a lot of attenders who have yet to hear the pastor preach!

One such attender (who will remain nameless... he knows who he is) came to me last weekend and said his family loves the church! But, they're holding out on making a decision to call it home until they've heard me speak live (jesting, in part). So, as a return JEST-ure... I've decided to dub him the Crabtree Congregant!

That's right. You see I'm a San Francisco 49ers fan and my team selected Michael Crabtree in the 10th round of the draft. They offered him $20 million over 5 years... and 3 weeks into the season, he's still holding out for a better offer.

Hence the name Crabtree Congregant... Over the past 6 weeks we've had some amazing weekend experiences at The Net... valued at way more than $20 million, if you ask me! :). But my new buddy's holding out to see what's next! And if that's not bad enough... one of my close friend's told him that he shouldn't expect as much from me live as me on video... what's up with that!? Give a brother some love!

At any rate, here's my advice: Join the team! We're an up-and-coming franchise... take the $20 million! And don't forget to tithe on it! :)

See you Sunday... LIVE!
