There’s An App For That:

Okay guys I think I have found the App icon I’m going to use for my sermon on the weekend of August 7&8. It came to me as I was discussing the

There's An App For That

book Visoneering with a group of guys I lead in a leadership round-table. So we are studying the story of Nehemiah and really how successful he was in leading the efforts to re-build the wall around Jerusalem. The question was/is how do you measure success in his life? In our lives? I’m not going to give too much away but save it for my talk, but I thought as a result of the Nehemiah discussion and his mission of re-building the wall I would use several bricks as my App icon.

Thank you to those who have put some time in thinking of this idea. I’m excited about how the talk prep is going. I love sharing with the people of LifePoint Church. Hope to see you on that weekend.

Perhaps a way you can prepare for the weekend is to read the thirteen chapters of Nehemiah and make observations of what success is and how one should handle its rewards.

Blessings,

Dave

Need Some Help:

Greetings Everyone,

This summer at LifePoint Church our sermon series is There’s An App for That. The series is based on the premise of the iPhone and the apps that one can get for their phone. So we are thinking of issues in the Christian life that need application from God’s Word.

So I have thought about tackling the whole topic of success. When are we successful and what do we do with the perceived fruits of success? Too many people look at the fruits and believe a person is successful and forget that the troubles they are experiencing or the difficulties they have now means they’re not successful, but it just may be the most successful they could be because it’s right where God wants them. Make sense?

An App for That

So here comes the help I need. Each sermon needs to have an app design associated with it. I have thought of some images, but not totally sold on any. Can you think of an app design that we can add to the phone on the right that will represent my application points regarding a biblical definition of success? A couple of hints:

• Needs to represent my sermon
• Needs to be simple — it will be on a small square so too small to be intricate
• Needs to be colorful.

I’m the ninth sermon in the series and each week a new icon gets added to the phone. So can you help me out? What would be a creative design for my app. Also I need to turn it in June 16th, so not a lot of time.  A very cool thing, in our worship center there are two larger than life iPhones on either side of the stage — probably 12 fee tall. Each week the app for that week will be added to the phone.

I’ll mention the winner on this blog and will probably award a prize (don’t know what yet). So what do you think? Can you help me with a design?

What design would best fit my sermon?
