OUR GOALS
1. TO ENCOURAGE YOUR SPIRIT
“Encourage each other and build each other up.” 1 Thessalonians 5:11 (NLT)
“Let us not get tired of doing what is right, for after a while we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don't get discouraged and give up.” Galatians 6:9 (LB)
2. TO STRETCH YOUR MIND (AND STIMULATE YOUR CREATIVITY)
“Do yourself a favor and learn all you can; then remember what you learn and you will prosper.” Proverbs 19:8 (TEV)
“How can you teach others if you refuse to learn?” Romans 2:21a (CEV)
“The intelligent man is always open to new ideas. In fact, he looks for them!” Proverbs 18:15 (LB)
3. TO SHARPEN YOUR SKILLS
“If the ax is dull and its edge is unsharpened, more strength is needed. But skill will bring success.” Ecclesiastes 10:10
“Anyone who claims to know all the answers doesn't really know very much.” 1 Corinthians 8:2 (NLT)
“Ask the former generations and find out what their fathers learned, for we were only born yesterday and we know so little.” Job 8:8
4. TO STRENGTHEN YOUR CHURCH
“Under Christ’s direction, the whole body is fitted together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love.” Ephesians 4:16 (NLT)
5. EMPOWER YOU TO TEACH THIS TO OTHERS
WHAT WE’VE LEARNED
There is no correlation between the size and strength of a church.
There is more than one way to grow a church.
It takes all kinds of churches to reach all kinds of people.
If a principle is biblical, it will work anywhere.
Never confuse the method with God’s message.
