The average person (church goer or not) would agree that the sermon begins when the pastor/preacher begins speaking, but these comments below (in blue) from a first time guest to the Bruns would beg to differ...
When I first walked in I met Don Hsaio, he saw that I was new, introduced me to some people, and let me know about the small group that meets on Thursday. I, in fact, met more people in the one Sunday at your church than I had in 4 months at my previous church. I got a real sense that the church isn't just a tradition, but a loving community intent on changing the world for Christ.
Not to take anything away from the message on Sunday (awesome job P. Kang:), but I hope you folks see the incredible impact that was had on this person as they came to Liquid for the first time.
NOTICE, they did not mention the lights, preaching, music, videos, etc. They mentioned the significant impression that was left by one person taking time to genuine welcome and take interest in another person.
A HUGE thanks to our Greeting Team and people like Don who represent the heart and soul of Liquid. Embodying the idea that we exist for those who aren't here yet (but not at the expense of those who are:).
Blown away once again by you folks - p. mikey
