Passion 2012: Day 1

For the next few days I will be at Passion 2012, and I will be telling y'all about it.

Today we arrived in Atlanta, got registered, and went to the first session. The first session was absolutely amazing. Before it even started, there were six people on stage reading God's Word. This was awesome. They read for an hour leading up to the beginning of the main session. I think while they were reading in Psalm 103, I was on the verge of tears. It was just awesome to hear those people read the Word with such PASSION. I could feel the Holy Spirit moving among us before the first main session even started.

When the session did start, we sang for a good while (Chris Tomlin led worship), then Louie Giglio talked about Do Something Now, and showed a video on modern day slavery. Did you know that there are more slaves in the world today than there ever were during the African Slave Trade? There are 27,000,000 slaves in the world right now. Pretty freaking ridiculous.

Then Louie talked. You can definitely tell that the Spirit is speaking through him. He talked about Luke 7:11-17. Great passage, and I encourage you to read it. He talked about how some people are dead (in sin), and are being carried to their funeral. But at just the right time, Jesus comes and says "Get up!" It was a great message.

After that we went to community groups.... Well most everyone went to community groups. I went on a wild goose chase. I went to the community group on my bracelet, and they said that high school seniors need to go somewhere else. Didn't tell us where. Well I asked someone and they said go to A2. So I was on my way there, and a person asked me where I was going, and I told them the whole thing. They said I needed to go to registration. That just happened to be in the building I just left, so I went back. Well I got the right bracelet, and guess where they told me to go...... Yep A2. So I went back to A2, and met my community group. They were all really cool people. For some reason I could remember where all of them were from, but couldn't remember their names.

After that we went to David Crowder Band's last concert. We didn't stay for the whole thing, but it was still really cool.

I'm looking forward to big things happening throughout this week.
