My uplifing experience at the Templo!

Today my family and I went to the water park at White Water Junction in Rock Island.
While there I met this tattooed christian man named Marcus: He prayed for me.
He invited me to a Christian concert at his church called the
Templo Elim Spanish Assembly of God.
The concert was from 5PM to 8PM. And half of it was in Spanish.
It was loud in the church with the music echoing throughout 
and I did get a head rush a couple of times.
My friend, whom I just met at the church, got me a drink of water. 
I had to calm my head for a bit. So I sat in the back room. 
Then we went out into the church. He did a Christian Rap.
My friend, Marcus, whom I met at the water park read a poem. 
And another guy did a rhyme. 
The pastor was a 25 year old man named Joe from Chicago. 
He asked what our pet peeves are; I shouted "people who do not use their turn signals".  
He agreed with the pet peeves and said, "give up your worries to god."
His testimony was uplifting. He talked about his father and how he was mistreated. 
And how at the age of 18 he spoke at a church and his father was in the back of the church;
he looked and saw him and forgave him then. 

The bible scripture was from Mark chapter 2:

Jesus Forgives and Heals a Paralyzed Man 

 

A few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, 
the people heard that he had come home.  

² They gathered in such large numbers that there was no room left, 

not even outside the door, and he preached the word to them.  

³ Some men came, bringing to him a paralyzed man, carried by four of them.  

⁴ Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, 

they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it 

and then lowered the mat the man was lying on.  

⁵ When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”

⁶ Now some teachers of the law were sitting there, thinking to themselves,
⁷ “Why does this fellow talk like that? He’s blaspheming! 
Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
⁸ Immediately Jesus knew in his spirit that this was what they were thinking in their hearts, 
and he said to them, “Why are you thinking these things?  
⁹ Which is easier: to say to this paralyzed man, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ 
or to say, ‘Get up, take your mat and walk’?  
¹⁰ But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” 
So he said to the man, ¹¹ “I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home.”  
¹² He got up, took his mat and walked out in full view of them all. 
This amazed everyone and they praised God, 
saying, “We have never seen anything like this!”

 During the last part of the sermon people in the front stood with letter 
and it all spelled out the sentence; 
"I have issues." 

He talked about the root cause of sin; which is really us. 

Then he took the "I"s away and rearranged the people in front;
the sentence now read:
"JESUS SAVES!"
  
What made this service uplifting to me was toward the end we all went up to the front;
where everyone prayed for us. We prayed in a line. 
I do not know what God Yahweh has planned in my life,
but I do know there is something left for me. 

Rather it be working with more children, teaching karate again, mentoring, 
or whatever he has planned;
I will do!
