DECADE OF DESTINY LAST MINUTE UPDATE!

Dear Saddleback Family,

Did you know that God holds me responsible for your spiritual growth?

Hebrews 13:17 says this about pastors: "Their work is to watch over your souls, and they will give an account of their care of you to God!" That verse sometimes keeps me awake at night - because I'm dead serious about this responsibility, and because I really do love you with my life! I've been working on our Decade of Destiny campaign all this year.

I want your next 10 years (2011-2020) to be the most spiritually successful, profitable, and purposeful years of your life.

I want you to be less stressed and more blessed - regardless of your stage of life.

I want you to receive the spiritual wisdom, the emotional support, and the practical assistance you'll need to go after your God-given dream and fulfill your personal destiny in the next decade.

None of us, however, can fulfill our destinies on our own. You have to help others reach their destinies and they have to help you. God set it up this way so we'd need each other! We're better together.

I have so much to share about how Decade of Destiny will bless your life, but instead of putting it in a long News & Views; I'm asking you to NOT MISS two critical events:

1. DON'T MISS MY MESSAGE THIS WEEKEND: BLESSED or STRESSED? IT'S YOUR CHOICE. This is the first message of Decade of Destiny. I'll share the five promises of God, where He guarantees that if you do these five things, he'll bless your life, family, and career in ways you can't imagine. I'll also share how we've built the Decade of Destiny on these promises.
   
   If you want the blessing of God on your life in the next 10 years, you need this message! I've spent the last few weeks studying EVERY promise of BLESSING in the Bible and I'm going to summarize how you can receive those blessings from God.


2. Plan to attend a DECADE OF DESTINY RALLY this next week!

On four evenings (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. in the Lake Forest Worship Center), I'm going to lay out my exciting plans as your pastor to help you fulfill your destiny in the next 10 years! I'm going to hold a Saturday morning Decade of Destiny Rally, from 9:00 to 10:30 a.m. next Saturday, October 9 for those who can't attend any evening. So you have no excuse!

I am so excited to share both of these experiences with you. See you this weekend!
