It is a real joy to have one of the leading Worship Pastors in America, Kim Noblitt, join our team on Sunday. Kim is a renowned song writer, seasoned and proven local church worship leader, and more importantly than anything, a committed man of God.

The incredible song, “If You Could See Me Now,” was written by Kim Noblitt. It was nominated “Song of the Year” at the Dove Awards. His song writing has placed him as one of the finest. I could spend paragraphs talking about some of the songs he has written that God has used powerfully in our people’s lives. For the past three years, he has given his life to developing a publishing ministry that services over 2,500 churches in over 35 countries of the world. The influence is ever-growing as he is becoming more what the Master desires of Him daily.

Kim Noblitt has led large local church worship ministries in Edmond, Oklahoma; Mobile, Alabama; Fort Lauderdale, Florida; and in the Dallas-Fort Worth region of Texas. While he is from Denver originally and his wife, Suzanne, is from Minneapolis originally, the Lord brought them together through the formerly very popular contemporary singing group called “Truth.”

Kim Noblitt at our Springdale location and Josh Stanbery at our Pinnacle Hills location will comprise one of the finest worship teams, if not the finest, in America’s churches. Kim’s arrival will help lift our Pinnacle Hills Worship Ministry even higher, just as when Josh leads our Springdale Worship Ministry, it is lifted higher. I cannot wait to see what God does with them together, and it will be a true blast to experience! I love them both and have great, great respect for each of them.

This is the moment that if you have EVER EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT BEING IN ONE OF OUR WORSHIP MINISTRIES, it is THE TIME to join and assist us weekly. Find your place and come and assist us. We need your help. We could have the potential to have huge, influential, and God-sized worship ministries on both of our campuses. You can help us make the difference. These men need your support and presence, so come on and get involved.

My friends, soar with us on this Sunday and beyond . . . this is a great moment, so let’s seize it for God’s glory!

Any of you need a breakthrough in your life? Burdened, hindered, living in bondage in any area of your life? I don’t have any answers for you, but I know God does.

God wants to give you a spiritual breakthrough. This breakthrough may not come in the form of some miraculous deliverance, but it may come in giving you the power to deal with where you are and what is happening in your life right now.

I believe God’s intent for your life is to experience freedom. So much today weighs us down, discourages us, disappoints us, and at times, can even depress us. The enemy is alive and well. He is the author of bondage and distress.

This freedom is only experienced when we see spiritual breakthroughs. We need God’s activity so alive in our lives that others see what He is doing. So many times others do not see Christ in us because we are all worked up about the same or similar things as they are in their lives. They are not impressed with the difference.

Go with us on a journey next week at whatever level you can, a journey to experience a spiritual breakthrough. It can happen, yes even for you.

Believing God for a breakthrough.

Well, here are the three grandchildren together for the first time … all in their “Game Day Attire.”

Of course, when game time arrived, Nick and Meredith had already returned to Texas, Parker was at home with Kate’s Mom, and Peyton was borderline physically sick as he attended the season’s first game here in Fayetteville. This picture was made around lunchtime on Saturday before Josh came and joined us after working that morning.

Nick and Meredith came in on Thursday night for the Prestonwood and Shiloh game, then left for Texas on Saturday afternoon. Some of their best friends, Jarrett and Deb Stephens, joined them on the trip and stayed with us. Jarrett and Nick are being used of God at the Prestonwood Church in Dallas, one of America’s really exciting and special churches.

Game Day in Arkansas is always fun. I love driving over the top of the hill on Razorback Road heading to the stadium for a Saturday game. It is a special drive to a special destination. The game was an enjoyable experience, and the Razorbacks seem to be heading for a special year.

Game Day for us is each Sunday; in fact, beginning this Sunday, it is a great run to Thanksgiving! Each Sunday is special, but we must remember that each day is a preparation day for that upcoming Game Day Sunday. Our preparation involves prayer, contacting people, meeting needs, evangelism, discipleship, and executing a customized strategy for the week. Each of us must share in this preparation.

It is time to get ready for Game Day today.
