Ho, Ho, Ho!

In just a few hours we will be kicking off the first of five Christmas benefit concert at GRANITE. My heart is racing, my head is pounding, and my hands are cold and sweaty, I know disgusting, and snow is falling from the sky. All of this because of the anticipation of watching Jesus do amazing things in peoples lives as we Celebrate His birthday! But there is something else that is on my mind, THE AMAZING TEAM WE ARE BLESSED WITH AT GRANITE.

I am so grateful for the TEAM Jesus has brought together at GRANITE. I have the privilege of rubbing shoulders with some serious KINGDOM MINDED people. I know the next few nights at GRANITE are going to be amazing, but I also know that God does His best work through His kids, and trust the kids on our TEAM are AMAZING! I wish every pastor could be blessed like I am blessed, that every church could benefit from hundreds of leaders like GRANITE has. TEAM I love you all, and appreciate you so much. It is an honor to serve Jesus along side of you. Because of you, lives are going to be forever changed, how exciting is that!

LET'S DO THIS THING!

LEADERS LEAD

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

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...

Got To Love It

I am NOT venting in this post, I am simply sharing with you some of the crazy yet humorous things that happened in the past 7 days. 1. We had a former family who left our church a couple of years ago try to recruit one of our faithful families because we don't teach or use the Bible at GRANITE. 2. We had a family leave the church this week because we are to strict on how we teach the Bible and how serious we are about it. 3. I had a "christian" family tell me they left the church because of that darn rock and roll music we use sometimes to open up our services. 4. I baptized a man last week at the lake who said he was tuned in from the moment we sang Livin' On A Prayer (sung during our prayer series, and it was awesome) 5. Was told by a man that our church is to strict when it comes to holiness and purity, so he needed to find a new church that his lifestyle could fit in with 6. Was told that a man in our church was approached by someone and encouraged to leave
