STAYING FOCUSED 2

By -
We have been called to produce disciples! In order to do that we have to take the DREAM OF JESUS for our lives and ministries and work to turn them into realities. Jesus did this, He took the Fathers came to planet earth and began a REVOLUTION that to this day is bringing life change to millions of people. It was Jesus who birthed the church and said that He would build it. Jesus was a leader that literally shook the foundation of the world! But their was a key to His leadership that every world leader needs. Jesus BUILT TEAMS around Him of COMMITTED FOLLOWERS who took His vision for CHANGE SERIOUSLY and SACRIFICIALLY who worked in COOPERATION with Him to turn the DREAM into REALITY.

I am thankful for the team God has blessed me with at GRANITE UNITED! We have warriors on our team who serve seriously and sacrificially I call them KINGDOM IMPACT PLAYERS. My prayer is that God will raise more leaders within the walls of our church so that we can continue the REVOLUTION Jesus started here in New England.

    Thank you for the reminder, it is so easy to lose focus on the purpose and mission we are charged with (following him and His Spirit's desire for all people to be His disciples) and get bogged down in daily life or bad news. Lets get to the continuing the trend of filling His church to the brim!

NOTHING CAN REPLACE THE LOCAL CHURCH

A pastor friend of mine and I were talking about the season the LOCAL CHURCH finds herself in right now. After our conversation he put this little slide together which is so true. Just remember this isnt burning on other GREAT MINISTRIES and PASTORS but those ministries need to be more like a 5 hour energy drink and not your main meal. Everyone needs THE LOCAL CHURCH and YOUR LOCAL CHURCH needs you. And more importantly THE LOCAL CHURCH is GODS PLAN for every Christians life. STAY CONNECTED...

LEADERS LEAD

By -
In the book GO BIG the author suggests as goes the pastor so goes the church. In the GRANITE CONTEXT I would put it this way, AS GOES THE MINISTRY LEAD SO GOES THAT MINISTRY. We are a team oriented, team driven church, meaning, as LEAD PASTOR allot of sharing has been given out in our ministry, with the PRIVILEGE comes incredible RESPONSIBILITY. One of the things I have been encouraging our MINISTRY LEADS in 2011 is to GET YOUR HANDS OFF THE MINISTRY AND ONTO THE MINISTERS. As a HIGH LEVEL LEADER you cannot afford to get bogged down in programs and must stayed focused on people, your ministry people. Eph. 4:11-12, encourages us to EQUIP SAINTS, not to run programs. Programs are important but they do not warrant our attention tot he point of neglecting our teams. It will be our team members who will provide healthy programs, as we pour our lives in maintaining healthy leaders. So lets make this post a little more interactive than usual and throw out some ideas on how to LOVE ON

FOUR BIG QUESTIONS

By -
At GRANITE moving the ball down the court means we are moving people into BIBLICAL DISCIPLESHIP.  And since we know PROGRAMS DON'T MORE PEOPLE but that PEOPLE MOVE PEOPLE we have FOUR BIG QUESTIONS we constantly ask in regards to those who are either NEW TO GRANITE or CALL GRANITE HOME.  What are those questions?  Well I'm glad you asked! Who are they? Where are they? What's their next step? Who's leading them? The bigger question is what do each of these questions men?  Well I'm not going to tell you that right now!  HA!  Sorry not sorry.  I'll post about each question separately in the next few days!   Until then...
