Using the puzzle metaphor, Rev. Dr. Michael Bos tells #skconf22 that “stewardship is not the frame, but rather it’s a piece of the puzzle we’re trying to solve.”

“Whenever there’s conflict, I don’t listen,” says Rev. Dr. Michael Bos at #skconf22 “I do whatever I can to get past it, to rally the troops. Then I realized the power of listening. It changes things.”

“Being heard is so close to being loved for the average person, they are almost the same,” observed Rev. Dr. Michael Bos at #skconf22 “When we listen, it’s a way if loving them…right into the church but in their terms.” Amen!

The church of the future will not be the church we once knew. So begins today’s message by J. Herbert Nelson II at #skconf22, “The Depth of Transformative Change.” We are the church in repair.

“God is not number one on most people’s list right now. And preachers are the closest thing to God that people see,” preaches J. Herbert Nelson II at #skconf22. “It’s much easier for people to curse out preachers than it is for them curse out God. They’re angry with the Lord.”

“The changing church calls us to deeper discipleship…to a deepened sense of God’s love in Jesus Christ” J. Herbert Nelson II at #skconf22 “To a return to what the Cross is all about.” Word.

“Stewardship is the giving of our whole life to God,” J. Herbert Nelson II preaches at #skconf22. “Take me as I am! Stewardship is not about money. It’s about the willingness to die for something.”

“When we talk about money we have to realize it’s an unbalanced world,” J. Herbert Nelson II “There will always be poor people because they have never had the opportunity” #skconf22

“Amass all the money you want, but if you don’t do it with love for others you’re not doing it Jesus’ way.” J. Herbert Nelson II #skconf22
