Andy Stanley teaches at Willow Creek

Andy Stanley, Pastor of North Point Community Church, Alpharetta, GA was the guest teacher this weekend at Willow Creek Community Church. Andy filled in for the scheduled guest, John Maxwell, who is mourning the death of his mother.

Follow his warm introduction by WCCC Senior Pastor, Bill Hybels, Andy went on to point out that he was performing as a "third string" preacher... How is that for managing expectations? ;-)
Fact of the matter is he did an outstanding job in delivering his message. One should also note that he interrupted his family vacation, with less than a week's notice to bless the Willow congregation.

Andy taught on a series that he had presented to his home church in the Spring. The Series was called Staying in Love. I am not sure if the entire contents of each message are available for streaming, but you can check them out at http://www.northpoint.org/messages

I was Googling around and I found a couple of references to this same message. Here is one from Adam White, called Love is a verb, not a nown. A similar post is made by Sarah Pledger.

I just checked and Andy's message from Saturday night is available for live streaming on the Willow Creek Media Player. The link will get you to the Player but you will still need to select the message from the NavBar on the right. ENJOY!
