As we go on mission we need to have the right expectations. Jesus said that the world will hate us (Jn 15:18), but he also said be of good cheer, because I have overcome the world (Jn 16:33).

Someone was saying today, “My brother won’t come to church.” And I thought to myself, “Maybe the church needs to go to them.”

God always blesses what he initiates. Frustration is often the fruit of trying to propel what the Lord did not ignite. I'm praying he spares me the frustration of starting things that originate entirely with me.

We have to be careful. Religious gathering, in particular can fall victim to two characteristics of the spirit of this age 1) we become to familiar with God and 2) we develop a sense of entitlement. We think we deserve certain privileges.facebook.com/CityReachOakde…

Heard a great quote on the weekend: “Whatever is not born of prayer is born of pride.” So many times as a Christian leader I have led out of the flesh, not out of the new identity I have received through Christ and with dependence on God.

I love Warren Weirsbe’s definition of ministry. He says, “Ministry takes place when divine resources meet human needs through loving channels to the glory of God.”

A servant leader is first a follower. They follow Jesus and submit to his direction and leadership over their life. They do not measure success by outward results but by faithfulness to his call. (2 Cor 5:9-10)

Great real life group training night! 45 people came out for equipping. Looking forward to launching 5 new groups in February.

I am only a servant and steward (1 Cor 4:1). It releaves the pressure, (Jesus is the master and owner) but increases my accountability.
