I get the opportunity to speak quite a bit outside the context of FreedomChurch.  You never really know what you’re going to run into in various places.  Some audiences are more difficult to speak to than others. 

• Sometimes it’s half way through the message before you feel comfortable on stage.
• Sometimes the moment you open your mouth - it’s obvious that people are hungry for more. 

You can tell a lot about the church, ministry, or organization by gauging the receptivity of it’s audience.  This week I’ve been speaking to a group of great students at NorthStar.  Brad and Nick are doing a great job there!  We have seen 12 students accept Christ and 37 kids signed up to be baptized today after a “spontaneous baptism with a 24 hr. delay” type message yesterday.  All that and we still have one more day to go!  Great job guys - ya’ll are awesome.
