Thank yous and News

July 25th, 2009 · 9 Comments

It’s just over a week since my mother’s memorial service, and I’m still amazed at the outpouring of support for our family. Thank you for your encouragement!

In a return to my normal speaking schedule, I’m guest preaching Sunday at the Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove, California.

The Crystal Cathedral, founded by Robert A. Schuller in 1955, is the home base for the international Crystal Cathedral Ministries, including a congregation of over 10,000 members and the internationally televised “Hour of Power.”

In recent months, Dr. Schuller has introduced a new and exciting format for Sunday sermons and weekly broadcasts. Each week, he invites influential believers, preachers, and leaders to share their hearts with both the home church and international audience. In past weeks, the Crystal Cathedral has hosted Bishop Kenneth Ulmer, Walt Kallestad, Tony Campolo, Ben Utecht, Becca Cook, and Bill Butterworth.

This week I’m honored to share the platform with Dr. Schuller, along with model and author Kathy Ireland, and musician Mark Schultz.

If you’re in Southern California this weekend, I’d love to see you there. Here is information on location and times.

Hour of Power will broadcast the weekend messages in a few weeks, both on television and online. They also offer a variety of podcasts.

Thank you again for your loving messages of hope. We still rejoice in my mother’s ultimate healing and joy.

    John, When we lost our 5 yr old daughter in 1994, we had to make a choice. Do we believe what we see, or believe the word of the Lord. His word assured us that we would see her again, and that she would know us! What better reason to serve the King of Kings! Take comfort in His promises!
    Be Blessed!

    Hello Mr. Maxwell,

    The PDF for Lifetime “Must Read ” Book List and The Personal Growth Plan, on http://www.johnmaxwell.com/ do not seem to be working. Is there other alternative?

    Thanks for the update, hope you are enjoying your summer. It is always nice to get back to normal you have been busy. Looking forward to seeing you on the Crystal Cathedral once again. That’s one platform that you have master. It is a very exciting time for that church, sounds like some great leaders will be arriving on the Sunday sermons. Understanding the value of leadership is so important, it does determine your level of teaching. Never stop growing you, you don’t have to go or be anywhere just learn and teach you right where you are. That’s the key, a big dream and a big God gives you big results. All the best on being normal..

    Just read your twitter’s, so glad you are relaxing that sounds like a game plan for life at least a section of it. I just saw the movie Imagine That with my son very interesting.. My other son David is having another great birthday tomorrow. I am having a mini birthday party for him and his new wife in just a weeks time, very exciting. I have being trying to go to the beach but with all this rain it has become a challenge. I have being working on David’s house getting it in tip top shape, the guys are doing all the hard work lots of late nights for them. Joshua and I are the nonprofit painting crew, lots of that next week. I just finished preparing dinner and now time to make lunches for tomorrow lol. I am having some fun with you guys here on leadershiponline. Feel free to share your day with me, I would enjoy listening to you. Well John your off to a fantastic start. Loved the quote”only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go” very inspirational.. I’ m sure you can relate. Not bad at all… It was fun talking to you injoy the rest of the evening.
