Saddleback Church

After our great time at the Balboa Peninsula we hurried to the Saddleback Church to attend their 6:30 church service(they have 3 Saturday services and 3 Sunday services). This 6:30pm Sunday service is the last one of the weekend.
They have a big campus. To get in, I felt like we were entering Disneyland parking or something because there were parking attendance directing the traffic to the different parking lots around their campus. The place where they had us parked was a walk away from their main sanctuary. There were outdoors speakers as we walked to their sanctuary for people to hear the church service that had already started.
Their service had three parts. The first part was a good half hour of praise songs by Scott Reed. The second part was the sermon and the Third part was a couple praise songs by Scott Reed and a final appeal by the pastor with a prayer.
The music by Scott Reed was great and the sermon was also great. The theme for the weekend was "Stopping To Refuel" Following I will quote three verses that the pastor used in his sermon;
1-Somethings must change...emptiness isn't working for me. "This is what the Lord says: "Stan at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient path, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and will find rest for your souls". Jeremiah 6:16
2-I have a soul that wants to be filled.
"And how do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul in the process? Is anything worth more than your soul? Matthew 16"26
3- My Soul-filling is an investment in eternity.
"Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away for the Lord. We live by faith not by sight." 2Corinthians 5:6-7
He ended his sermon talking about that everyday we need to STOP, BE QUIET, and MAKE a CONNECTION(refuel). We need to turn off our external connections so we can turn on our internal connections.
