GREAT EXPECTATIONS #2

By -
So time to get back on track! So if it's true and I believe it is that God will grow GRANITE to the expectation level we have, let me ask you WHAT ARE YOU EXPECTING? Is what you are expecting so HUGE that is demands that God show up? Or is what you're are dreaming...
  • SAFE
  • BORING
  • MORE OF THE SAME
Or is what you're dreaming
  • SCARY
  • INSPIRATIONAL
  • NUTS
For years people use to ask me why we had so much "staff" (mostly volunteer HHL's) like we do today. The answer always was and is, I believe we should staff ourselves for where we're going, not for where we are, so with your present team are you...
  • IN A POSITION TO DOUBLE YOUR MINISTRY SIZE
  • IN A POSITION TO UNLEASH ANOTHER CAMPUS
  • IN A POSITION TO WALK AWAY WITHOUT YOUR MINISTRY MISSING A BEAT
Let's Remember our ministry will not outgrow our vision. Our leadership structure will not outgrow our vision, our impact will not outgrow our vision. We are where we want to be, the question is, WHERE DO YOU WANT TO GO? The question is WHERE ARE YOU TAKING YOUR MINISTRY?

    Like you said this morning, every person who walks through our doors was created to be a world changer. Our responsibility has leaders is to have our acts together and step out in faith to invite them into the adventure. Great question to ask "what little things did I do this week, to set someone else up to run a church campus/ministry one day?"

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...

COMMUNICATION IS MINISTRY

By -
COM·MU·NI·CA·TION   - 1. the imparting or exchanging of information or news.   synonyms:       transmission, conveyance, divulgence, disclosure; More   2. means of connection between people or places, in particular.  (dictionary.com) Sounds simple and yet it's one of the major reasons why RELATIONSHIPS BREAK DOWN - whether those relationships are personal or professional.  But the opposite is also true when there is a commitment to COMMUNICATION the results can be OUTSTANDING!  Dictionary.com says COMMUNICATION is the MEANS OF CONNECTION BETWEEN PEOPLE.   What does that have to do with MINISTRY?  Answer...EVERYTHING!  There is NO, let me repeat, NO real, meaningful or lasting ministry without COMMUNICATION.  By the way COMMUNICATION is not PREACHING AT PEOPLE its CONNECTING WITH PEOPLE.   Remember the old saying, People don't care how much you know until they know ...

THE POWER OF CAPTURING MOMENTS IN MINISTRY

By -
Last night in a CP meeting we discussed THE POWER OF STORIES - as I was reading this morning I was also reminded how important “pictures” that create conversation is to THE LORD.  Check these verse out… Joshua 4:6-7, “ 6  We will use these stones to build a memorial. In the future your children will ask you, ‘What do these stones mean?’  7  Then you can tell them, ‘They remind us that the Jordan River stopped flowing when the Ark of the Lord’s Covenant went across.’ These stones will stand as a memorial among the people of Israel forever.”  NLT A few things about capturing picture and videos on weekends…  They capture the moment They create conversation They intrigue the next generation They EXHALT GOD They remind us of GODS POWER They remind us of GODS FAITHFULNESS They encourage us in FUTURE OBEDIENCE They remind us that GOD always keeps HIS PROMISES They give us a reference to LOOK BACK on for FUTURE FAITH They encourage us to STAY FAITHFUL even in ...
