Branded 2006

Branded was just an amazing experience. James McPherson is my casa chico. It was just awesome to see the community and unity between the different age groups, and the worship rocked out. The prophecy that James brought for Invercargill was exciting, and quite a few of us have talked about the sense of... expectation that we feel, like something big is going to happen and soon!

The worship on the Sunday night that Jordan preached was just brilliant - it was awesome to see the youth lead the charge. I reckon it's something that us as Cutting Edgers need to continue - we are the ones the young 'uns look at to see what is and isn't "cool".

We need to be the thermostat and not the thermometer. As the oldest of the youth, we need to lead the charge. If we want to see free worship and a real breakthrough, we need to be the first ones to do it. We need to model the style of worship we want to see in the church. I think that was the thing that Jimmy and John did so well - they rocked out as much as the youth did in Dunedin. I would love to see that in Invers. Wouldn't you?
