South Austin Campus Easter 2012 info
Hello South Austin Church Family,
Easter service this year is going to be at the Westinghouse Campus, service time is 10 a.m. WE WILL NOT BE HAVING CHURCH SERVICE IN SOUTH AUSTIN ON EASTER SUNDAY. Before you start making OTHER plans for Easter that doesn’t require driving NORTH of the RIVER, here this:
As we are one church with multiple locations, this Easter Sunday opportunity is going to be unprecedented. The nation will be watching your church on Easter Sunday. With national and local media attention surrounding Tim Tebow, Central Texas has never seen an event like this ever! We are anticipating seeing tens of thousands of people on the property and more importantly, those lives will be forever changed. This has the potential to be one of the greatest moves of God this region has ever seen with baptisms, salvations and attendance.
How can you help and be a part?
#1 Volunteer to serve. We are asking for 100′s of Christ-following, Cross-carrying Celebration Church attendees and members to assist in welcoming and receiving the multitudes of guests. click http://EasterOnTheHill.com ”volunteer” tab for information.
#2 Plan on attending. If you are unable to volunteer, attend this event. Make a memory with your family and friends. For information click http://EasterOnTheHill.com
#3 Invite and tell everyone you know about the event. share http://EasterOnTheHill.com with them.
We will be hosting several options of orientation and trainings for Easter Sunday Teams. It is very important that you attend an ORIENTATION & a TRAINING. Here is the list of dates and times all at the WESTINGHOUSE CAMPUS:
*4 options to make an Orientation*
3/24 – Saturday ORIENTATION – 9:00am
3/25 – Sunday ORIENTATION – 5:00pm
3/28 – Wednesday ORIENTATION – 7:00pm
3/31 – Saturday ORIENTATION – 9:00am
*2 options to make a Training*
3/31 – Saturday TRAINING – 11:00am
4/2 – Monday TRAINING – 6:30pm
For all event details and information, be sure to simply inform people to keep their eyes on http://EasterOnTheHill.com . Information will be added as it comes available.

Now I know why Jesus went to the desert to fast! blog post:
It’s amazing that when you go thru a fast, you realize that food is everywhere and your cravings increase for the weirdest things. I was craving celery earlier today and I never eat celery, and certainly have never craved it! The enemy attacks us when we at our weakest. For example, all of a sudden, your kids want to go to restaurants on the way home from school, TV commercials advertising some new chicken nugget or chili burger seemingly pop up out of nowhere, and smells even become completely different! I was walking thru our church this afternoon and the painters had been painting walls for 3 days and were actually painting as I walked through, and suddenly the fresh paint smelled like pizza and bar-b-que! What?!?
Now I know why Jesus went to the desert to fast.
In the desert, there’s no one preparing a meal in a house that fills the air with butter, grease and cheese. There are no pantries filed with bags of chips, no refrigerator filled with juice, milk, sour cream. There’s no billboards or signs advertising daily specials. There’s no grocery stores filling the air with freshly baked bread or any ladies offering you free samples. There aren’t restaurants cooking fried “whatever” filling the streets with odors that seemingly learned how to speak right to your heart: “go on, break your fast, pull over and get some burgers, fries and a shake!” All of the great parts of the American “freedom to eat” surrounding us, filling our minds, eyes and noses! How can we make it through a fast with so much temptation all around us?
Now I know why Jesus went to a hot, stinky, dry, dirty, barren desert! To escape the temptation! But as we know, temptation even found Him in the desert. Satan attacked him at His weakest, but, He was firm, spoke the word of God with the sword of the Spirit on His lips, overcame some of the most intense temptation ever and finished strong.
If your fasting, finish strong! You can do it. And if you think it better to go to the desert, take a cell phone and a lot of water with you.

some leadership thoughts for ministry leaders
Leaders naturally demonstrate leadership ability. Do you demonstrate the following in your life?
Ask yourself how you demonstrate the following 10 things to those around you.
1. Do you trust in God at all times?
2. Do you live a life of worship?
3. Are you able to adapt to any situation without fear?
4. Are you a lifetime learner?
5. Are you assertive?
6. Do you effectively communicate to others?
7. Do you take risks and have a trail-blazing spirit?
8. Do you cast vision and speak positively about the future in conversation with others?
9. Is your private-life righteous so your public life can be fruitful?
10. Do you constantly ask yourself how you can improve?
Just some leadership thoughts to enlarge your thinking. God Bless and lead well!
God wants you to succeed!
God wants you to succeed!
God’s word is living. It is relevant, it is pure truth, and it is ancient. John 1 describes Jesus as being the “Word in the flesh”. God has been in the people business a long time. He knows what makes us tick. He knows everything about us. He knows when we are down, confused, tired, frustrated, happy, satisfied, challenged, lost, broken, afraid, lonely, blind, in need, and so much more. He sees and feels our longings and cares for us deeply. His word says that His thoughts toward each of us are innumerable. Skeptics scoff at a deity that would concern himself with that seemingly trivial existence, but the truth is that God loves, IS himself love and does concern himself with His greatest creation. After all, we are the only thing in all of the universe made in His image. Because of His Word, His nature, His putting everything into caring and providing for us, we can be confident that no matter what we may be facing in this world, good or bad, God has our best interest in mind…..always! And always has our eternal life in mind.
Right where you are, whoever you are, where ever you are, know this: God wants you to succeed in every area of your life. It brings Him pleasure and glory because You are made in His image.

video: Threshing wheat by hand.
The bible speaks of threshing wheat many times throughout its pages. Here is a video of someone threshing wheat by hand. The mallet is used to separate the wheat berries from the stalk, leaving the useless chaff behind. The wheat berries are then gathered to make bread, dough, etc…and the chaff and stalks are thrown away……
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jleK4pHtQIw
Luke 22:31 msg
“Simon, stay on your toes. Satan has tried his best to separate all of you from me, like chaff from wheat. Simon, I’ve prayed for you in particular that you not give in or give out. When you have come through the time of testing, turn to your companions and give them a fresh start.”
