Weekend in Greenwood



We had an amazing weekend in Greenwood, SC at Northside Baptist Church with my good friend Travis Agnew, the worship pastor. Tasha and I met Travis while we were in college at North Greenville, and I knew from Day 1 that this guy was a man after God's heart. He's one of the smartest, most talented, and most creative guys on the planet. And yet he's also one of the most humble guys you'll ever meet.

(Go check out Travis' book Freshman 15 and his amazing worship CDs. Order some for yourself and your friends. Not only will you be blessed, but it will help Travis and his wife with the cost of their adoption. They are adopting a little 2-year-old boy from Ethiopia. And they could really use your support!)

We were privileged when he gave us an invite last Fall to be a part of their student ministry D-Now weekend and then to lead worship for their Sunday AM services.

By all accounts, you would think Northside to be a fairly young church, with their state-of-the-art facilities and excellence in harnessing media for the purpose of advancing the Gospel. But Northside is an older established church. They're just one of the few in the U.S. who are not content with business as usual. They are reaching people with the life-changing message of the Gospel, without watering it down in the least bit. Pastor Jeff Lethco, who's been there for around 11 years, preaches the Word passionately and without apology. Yesterday he began a new series called "Who Are The People In Your Neighborhood?"--a series about evangelism in the 21st century.

It was a blessing to experience what God is doing at Northside. Thanks for the invite guys.

We worshiped to:
1. O For 1000 Tongues - Crowder
2. Everlasting God - Lincoln Brewster
3. God Be Praised - Via's
4. Jesus Messiah - Tomlin
5. King on His Way - Via's
