Full Turn Update
Hey everybody, great things are happening at Full Turn. Our opening Sunday is September 12th @ 10:30am. Our billboard just went up on HWY/278 in Dallas, GA and our TV commercials will start airing soon in Paulding and Polk County. We are getting ready to launch our church in a big way! This week is going to be a special week for Full Turn. Jenny and I will be at a pastor's and leaders conference in Florida, so we have a special musical guest coming in to lead you in worship and Garrett Cole will be bringing the Word of God. I know that Thursday night is going to be a powerful night. Don't miss it and come expecting. I love you and I am proud to be your pastor. God is doing great things. Let's keep moving forward!

GO
God said GO and so we went! In January 2010 plans had begun for Full Turn’s first meeting in Rockmart. We began meeting on Wednesday nights at the Rockmart Community Center on February 24, 2010. Expectations were high after a crowd of 60 or more people turned out for the opening night. Our plan was to meet at the Community Center for six weeks on Wednesday nights to develop a core group of people to help establish Full Turn in the area. In March 2010 We began promotions for our opening night at our new location, a few miles down the road, in Yorkville. We did this because we needed a more permanent place to meet. The date was set. We would open on April 8, 2010. We celebrated our opening night in Yorkville with 102 people in attendance after only seven weeks in the area. This will be our fourth week in Yorkville, and already we have seen 65 people rededicate their lives to Christ at our new location. I am very excited about what God is doing. Prayers are being answered and lives are being changed. The best is yet to come.

Full Turn's Opening Night
Tonight is the night we have all been waiting for. Tonight is our opening night at our new location. So many people have worked so hard to get our new facility ready, and it is better than we even imagined. I want you to know, it does not matter what denomination you have been a part of, or what banner or name you work under. Whether the name be Full Turn Ministries or any other name. The most important thing to understand is that we are all a part of the Body of Christ and we are all working together for one goal. The goal we share is to build the Kingdom of God and to help people that are far from God find their purpose and destiny in Jesus Christ. For this reason we have planted a ministry in the Rockmart/Dallas area. I know that together we can do something great for the Kingdom of God. Together we can build a ministry that will change thousands of lives. It is time for God's people to come together. It is time to display our unity. For this very reason I ask you to come tonight and worship with us as we work together to promote the name of Jesus Christ to our world. We will have a cookout at 6:00pm. This will be a great time to meet some new people and have some fun. After the cookout, our Full Turn service will begin at 7:30pm. The address of our new location is 53 Golden South Place, Dallas GA 30157. We hope to see you there. Let's make a statement tonight to our city and to our world by coming together under the banner of Jesus Christ.

St. Patrick's Day
Today is St. Patrick's Day, so I though I would give you some old Irish blessings and sayings. Some are serious and some are funny. Enjoy!
May you always have
Walls for the winds,
A roof for the rain,
Tea beside the fire,
Laughter to cheer you,
Those you love near you,
And all your heart might desire!
May your blessings outnumber
The shamrocks that grow,
And may trouble avoid you
Wherever you go.
May the best day of your past
Be the worst day of your future.
May those who love us, love us
And those who don't love us,
May God turn their hearts
And if he can't turn their hearts,
May he turn their ankles
So we will know them by their limping!
As you slide down the banister of life,
May the splinters never point in the wrong direction!
May your neighbors respect you,
Troubles neglect you,
The angels protect you,
And Heaven accept you.
May God grant you many years to live,
For sure he must be knowing
The earth has angels all to few
And Heaven is overflowing.
May you live as long as you want,
And never want as long as you live.
Have a great day. Full Turn is tonight. We hope to see you there.

What is a Swagger Jacker?
I don’t know where I originally heard the term swagger jacker. I don’t think it’s technically a theological designation. But I want to sanctify it for a minute and bring it over into a ministry context.
Have you ever faced any swagger jackers in your attempt to do God’s will?
I’m identifying a swagger jacker as anyone who tries to back you down from doing what you know God has told you to do. There are plenty of swagger jackers exposed in the pages of the Bible. They make a lot of noise. They inflict a lot of pain. But they simply can’t stop the purposes of God-if God’s servants stay focused on God’s will.
The swagger jackers laughed at Noah for building a boat to prepare for a flood before anyone had ever seen rain. They weren’t laughing on day 40 of the storm.
Joseph’s swagger jacker brothers threw him in a pit. But they couldn’t keep him from rising to a position of prominence in the palace-and ultimately saving their lives despite themselves.
Nehemiah faced swagger jackers like Sanballat. They insisted he halt the work of the Lord and come down off the wall. He stayed on the wall and finished the work.
And so on. You see the point.
I’ve seen too many men and women of God stripped of their courage by swagger jacking critics, haters, and generally negative or mediocre people.
Keep building your boat.
Stay faithful in the prison.
Remain on the wall.
Don’t concede your confidence in Christ. No one can take away your swagger if your swagger is rooted in Jesus-powered by grace-activated by faith.

The World's Only Hope
The church is the worlds only hope. We should be the example and we should be the light. The Bible says that we have been called kings and priests. Let's think about this for a second.The title king denotes authority. This means that the church is God's authority here on the earth. We should lead the way and make things happen. Then we see that we are not only Kings but we are also priests. A priest is someone who is subject to God. So not only have we been given great authority through Jesus Christ, but we are also people under authority. We take our orders from the King of Kings. A priest is someone that is set a part for the work of the ministry. We have all been called to be God's hands and to be His feet. We are the arm of the Lord extended to this world.
The early church in the book of Acts grew by the thousands daily. How was this accomplished. It was not accomplished by one man, but by many people filled with the Holy Spirit, spreading the message of Jesus Christ. This is why it is so important for us to continue to spread the Word. The church is made up of many people, but we have all been called to operate and carry ourselves as kings and priests, humbly following the voice of the Lord. God desires His church to grow. He desires us to be His ambassadors.

Ephesians 3:20
Ephesians 3:20 is one of my all time favorite verses:
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine…
That’s a hot one right there. An astonishing promise. God can do so much more than what you’re expecting. His performance isn’t limited to the confines of your imagination. The implications of this statement are hard to believe…but simple to understand. It’s a straightforward fact: The wildest dreams you can conceive don’t even compare to the endless power of God.
