Mark Foreman is the Senior Pastor of North Coast Calvary Chapel and a great guy. During his sermon this week he was using all kinds of facial gestures and body movements to convey how much the Holy Spirit desires us to get intimate with God. He was right on.
I love it that Mark is so passionate about communicating the importance of our relationship with God. And he does it in a way that totally communicates with me. I think it has something to do with being similar, the culture and communication style of Southern Cal, etc.
Mark is clear that our worship and teaching should be honest and authentic, it should reach us in our deepest areas not as a guilt trip or a list of performance points, but as truth to our being. That is another reason why I love my church.
