THE WRONG TEAM STUNTS GROWTH

By -
There are three things you can count on if you have WRONG PLAYERS ON YOUR TEAM!  WRONG PLAYERS ON YOUR TEAM WILL ALWAYS...

  • STUNT GROWTH
  • STRAIN THE VISION
  • FRUSTRATE AND PUSH AWAY THE RIGHT PLAYERS
Mark it down and NO your church and my church are NOT THE EXCEPTIONS to this truth!  There are a number of ways to identify the right players for your team, here are a three suggestions...
  • Look at WHO'S FOLLOWING WHO, who has a voice on your campus?  This does not always mean that the person is a leader but to some level they do have influence and you need to see if they have a leadership gift to accompany that influence.
  • Look for people who are CHASING YOU AS A LEADER and THE VISION, people who seem to have BOUGHT INTO THE VISION, not people you need to SELL THE VISION TO.
  • Make a SMALL ASKS that have the potential to lead to BIGGER ASKS.  Don't sell the farm after one interview.  What we do matters and there is no time to chase people who are suppose to be running ahead leading a charge.
We have a saying a Granite, WHAT GOT US HERE WON'T GET US THERE, and WHO GOT US HERE MAY NOT GET US THERE.  Right players put WIND IN YOUR SAILS, they DON'T SUCK THE WIND OUT!  

So what are some wye we can identify some potential players?  I'll post about that soon!

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 ...
