So Without Limit 2.0 comes to a close this Sunday.

We'll look at healing.

An expression of the Holy Spirit that has been abused, mis-used, hi-jacked for profit.

An expression of the Holy Spirit that is a source of confidence and hope for scores of people.

Two things at the same time.

We'll get to the root of it.

We'll actually do some of what we talk about.

And by the way, we've got good news to share about the results of last week's Without Limit 2.0 pledge Sunday. We're blessed.

So what series comes next? Beginning May 31st?

It's unexpected. It's uncomfortable. It's unsettling.

It's unChristian.

Without Limit Celebration

We've had 2,000 car deodorizers.

We've had 600 hot dogs and two sumo wrestlers.

We've had video after video after video.

And now we'll have celebration.

It's our commitment time for Without Limit 2.0 and what it means for our Corner Campus.

To get ready, read I Chronicles 29:5-16.

And we'll throw a party.

Sunday. 8:30. 10:00. 11:30.

We showed this in the middle of my message yesterday as a way of illustrating how God gives us the Holy Spirit:



As you might imagine, it was well received.

Yet another reason why this is a fun place to work.

OK, we've had some good videos as part of Without Limit 2.0.

For example, there's this one:



But there's one coming up this Sunday that you absolutely, positively will not want to miss.

I can't tell you what it's about.

I can't tell you who stars in it.

You'll just have to see it.

It's a Without Limit kind of video, for sure.

The subject this week? People. Sunday. Mother's Day. 8:30. 10:00. 11:30.

How To Give Away 600 Hot Dogs
May 5, 2009 at 6:09 am 2

So on Sunday night we had our Party On The Corner.


It was a way of introducing the people of the church and community to our new Corner Campus -- the space that used to be the Hollywood Video store across the street from the church.


We've signed a five year lease on the space, and we'll use it for our Big House student ministry and as a site for venue worship. The expansion is all part of us becoming a Without Limit church made up of without limit people.
We had a lot of people come out for the party. They came out for the inflatables, the sumo wrestling (no, I didn't try it) and for the food. We ran through 600 hot dogs in no time.

But I also think people came out because they are excited to see what God might do in a new space as we push beyond limitations and boundaries.
