Ed Young says I looked at the twins and I said, “Tell her that she has a cricket in her hair.  Just tell her.”  They said, “No.”  They were too embarrassed to tell her.  So, this went on and on and on.

A lot of us have a cricket clinging to our hair: the cricket of a bad attitude.  Dr. Ed Young says others in our lives recognize it.  They can see the cricket in your hair and mine, but, more often than not, they don’t say anything about it.  They’re like my twins.  They just stand there and look at it.

I truly believe this weekend’s message will pinpoint the crickets in your hair and in mine, because we’re going to get down and dirty about attitude.

Pastor Ed Young says that if this is your first weekend to attend Fellowship, you might be saying to yourself, “What’s up with this urban look, the street look, the graffiti and all of that?”  As you read your Bible, you’ll discover that one of the most used illustrations to pinpoint the Christian life is that of a contest or athletic event.  We’ve been asking ourselves a question over and over again in this series: You Got Game?  The ultimate game is played within the confines of the church, within the confines of the streets of our lives.  We’ve been seeing how to take things and move from being a spectator or fan and to hit the court or the field.

Ed Young Blog – It is human nature.  How do you feel when someone around you gets that promotion?  These folks right here felt exactly the way we do, if we are honest with ourselves.

So listen carefully to the testimonies, and also watch and worship God, for the lives He’s changed right here.

Let’s pray together. Ed Young says that God, we give this time of worship to you.  We give this time of baptism to you and this time of communion.  As we feel the breeze against our skin and clothes and hair, we’re reminded of the winds of your precious spirit.  Right now, Lord, just blow through this place. Dr. Ed Young says touch us at our deepest point of need, because many of us here need to be touched.  I know I do.  None of us are perfect; we all have a long way to go.  You want to love us and hold us in the hollow of your hand right now.  We give this time of celebration to you.  In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Testimony #1: A mother says, “Our children truly are a gift from God.  It’s been exciting to watch them grow spiritually as well as physically, and come to understand who God is, who they are, and how all of God’s creation fits together.  They have come to understand that because God is a righteous God, and that they are sinners, they need Jesus to save them from their sins and bring them into a right relationship with Him. Pastor Ed Young stated that  today, they are being baptized, to let you know that they have received Jesus as their personal Savior.  We are so grateful for the children’s programs of the Fellowship of Las Colinas.  It is here that our children have received additional instruction in the things of God, encouragement, and Christian fellowship.  We look forward to how God will work His perfect plan in their lives.”

Fellowship Church Grapevine – And they wanted to trap Daniel.  They wanted to nail Daniel because, you see, he was someone from a different culture.
