Letter from Pastor Rob
/
Vintage Metairie Family,
As you know our Metairie Campus on Cleary Ave has received some damage from Hurricane Isaac that has made it unusable for our gatherings. We are in the process of praying through some different options as a result of this damage. In the meantime we have been seeking out some other locations to host a gathering that is both strategic for our future and wise for our resources. God has answered our prayers for the next month.

Our Vintage Church family is grieved by the loss of a dear friend, Edmund Kee. He had been apart of Vintage Church from our beginning in the fall of 2007. The loss of someone, spouse, family or friend, is always hard. But this seems so much tougher when a young, newly married, man who was full of passion and energy dies so unexpectedly. Edmund had also been used by God to have such an impact on so many in the city of New Orleans, which means that there are many grieving.

Sunday marks our first Vintage United Gathering. As we prepare to go to Rock N’ Bowl at 10am Sunday to meet with the Lord as a united body, God has impressed on me there is some personal preparation to be done. Pastor Rob challenged the staff yesterday to focus on Jesus and to fast from something the two days leading up to the united gathering. The Lord impressed on me something to fast from the next two days and I will honor God’s leading.

This past May I graduated from Tulane University. When I first arrived in New Orleans four years ago, attending Tulane was the only thing on my mind. To be honest, I did not have much of a heart for this city. I simply wanted to do my time, get my degree, and move on to what I thought would be bigger and better things. Yet one decision radically altered my heart and changed my entire experience as a college student. That decision was deciding to plug in to a local church.

Pastor Rob shares his video thoughts from Rock N’ Bowl preparing us for the first United Gathering next week.
Read MoreWas the Resurrection Needed?
/
Last week Pastor Rob kicked off the conclusion to our “In the City. For the City.” sermon series. Vintage Church has spent the past 2 1/2 years walking through the book of 1 Corinthians. We have finally made it to 1 Corinthians 15 where Paul discusses the importance of Jesus’ resurrection. Last night I had the opportunity to meet with my community group and talk about the resurrection. I started our time together by asking, “what do you know about the resurrection?” That quickly led to the question of “why is the resurrection important?” That led my group to ask why the resurrection was important to salvation.

Seven years ago, I was sitting in a home without electricity much as I am today. I was preparing to preach a message called “Why Us?” You see, Katrina had just hit New Orleans and I was the lead pastor at Riverside Church in River Ridge, LA. I had just returned from Atlanta and was leading the start of a disaster recovery ministry.
