The number eleven might not mean much to most people. But for a while now nearly every time I look at the clock it reads 11:11. I am writing this post on 1-11-2011. I believe we are in the eleventh hour. In plain English, Jesus said that He would return to the earth to be with His people forever which would be the twelfth hour, and He gave a lot of clues as to what the world would look like in the days nearing His return. Now I'm not one of those crazies that places dates on when Jesus is coming back, but I believe we are right at the door of when Christ will return, and that 2011 is going to be an important year in the history of mankind.
.
The book of Revelation talks about two separate harvests that will be taking place surrounding the return of Christ. I believe that the first of these two harvests in Revelation 11:14-16 deals with a great harvest of souls that will come into the Kingdom of God through a personal, hand-holding relationship with Jesus Christ. The second of the two harvests in Revelation 11:17-20 deals with God's judgment that will take place upon the earth. I don't find it coincidence that in the first few weeks of 2011, we have seen 11 skaters give their lives to Christ. One skater prayed to receive Jesus a few weeks ago after Ricky had given the message, then last night ten more guys raised their hands and prayed, asking Jesus to enter into their lives. Amazing! And the really cool thing is that the guys who are teaching through the gospel of Mark every week and leading people to Jesus are skaters who gave their lives to Christ through FacePlant SkateChurch five years ago when we first started FacePlant Ministries. Check out the pictures of these guys teaching their peers (Curtis Christensen not pictured):

PIZZA AND SKATE NIGHT
We still had about 25 of us at SkateChurch last night in spite of the Auburn vs. Oregon National Championship college football game. We decided to change things up a little bit and have pizza together after the message instead of small groups. It was a blast! Check out the new pics from our "Pizza and Skating Night" and other nights in January at FacePlant SkateChurch.
