Church Leadership Ingredients
Look beyond, gifting and training
To know their heart, motivation
A vessel, wholly dedicated?
Or tainted needing, more consecration?
Dealing with Difficult People
Learn from Jesus, He set boundaries
Offered help, if ears were open
From the Pharisees, to His disciples
With all, that He had spoken.
Will You Answer God?
O how selfish, and sinful
We keep God’s Word within
Are not praying and sharing
With our world, so full of sin.
Churches Teach, but Don’t Disciple
One-on-one, in small groups
Much time, mentoring, Jesus discipled
Equipped and trained, ‘how’ to obey
To reproduce, go make disciples.
Be Faithful, Endure
So, be of good cheer
For Jesus has overcome
The world, the flesh and the devil
Know in Him, we have won.
Renewing the Church
Seem so few, will die to self
So ask Jesus, to start using
My life holy, be His witness
Disciple-making, reproducing.
Blind Spots
Denying, defending
Denouncing as true
Each weakness and failure
God points out to you?
Church Leaders in Disciple-Making?
So let us focus, on Jesus’ mission
Train in outreach, disciple-making
Equip the saints, reach the world
Role modeling, and mentoring!
The Mission Driven Church
With those gifted, to equip saints
For the work of the ministry
Edifying, the body of Christ,
To go multiply, in each vicinity.
Our Vision
We need vision to see
Our prime purpose in life
Fulfilling god’s calling
In this world of strife.
