  • Purpose Driven Ministry has Godly leaders.
  • If your Ministry is bottle necked take a look at your ministry, it may be because of you.
  • Discovering God’s Purposes Begin with God’s Word. (The Great Commission & The Great Commandment)
  • You have to own the Purposes of your ministry, no one will bleed it like you!
  • If we push people to be evangelistic, we have to be that way ourselves
  • Biblical Purposes will clarify a ministries existence
  • There are several ways to say the same thing
  • Biblical Purposes will minimize conflict in your ministry
  • Biblical Purposes will help create excitement
  • A ministry guided by Biblical purposes is not easy to build…but its healthy
  • People unite under a vision that is bigger than their own
  • Will your ministry pursue Biblical Purposes?
  • Evaluate: Do the people in your ministry get the Biblical Purposes for your Ministry? (Leaders, Students, Parents, Staff, Etc.)
  • You cannot fit all of the Biblical Purposes into one Program. Make sure each Program/Process has 1 Primary & 1 Secondary purpose
  • A lot of churches are using a discipleship method on students who are being forced to be at church, so it doesn’t work.

  • Food is a value in student ministry at Saddleback
  • Their Student Ministry was not built around theater seats and a Refinery Student Building
  • Student Ministry should be simply built on a dependence of God’s Power
  • There are a lot of Small Values for Student Ministry:
  • #1 Be Faithful in the Small Things
  • #2 Have Small Faith
  • Saddleback could give their new building back and still do student ministry
  • Value a God who is Sovereign
  • Value providing Students Opportunities to serve where they are gifted and passionate
  • Value Volunteers
  • Value Longevity, people not giving up.
  • Value Relationships:
  • Value an Intimate Relationship with Christ
  • Value Relationships with Parents
  • Value Relationships with other Leaders
  • Value Relationships with Students
  • Saddleback does not want you to be like them, they want you to be who God wants you to be.
  • What is important to you right now in ministry?
  • Do people know what’s important to you?

I’ve Got My Wings On

jetpack

I’m headed to Atlanta today to go see my Grandparents. Tomorrow morning I’ll be strapping my wings on to fly to So Cal forPDYM the Conference. Yes, I could just fly there on my own since I am Superman, but what fun would that be? If I have trouble with my Jetpack I’ll grab a flight on Delta. I can’t wait to get out to Cali with all of my friends and mostly to promote PDYM Kingdom Day which is huge! For more info you can check out http://www.kingdomday.com

I’ve got some big announcements coming soon that have not made it to my blog yet, but its going to be HUGE!!! Everything in its proper time 🙂
