Something Fun
Leader Kace Crumble was trained to teach celestial navigation for the Coast Guard.
Something to Consider
At the Fall Launch I mentioned five priorities we should pay attention to as Gospel Community Leaders if our loyalty is first to God then to everyone and everything else.
Those five priorities include:
We can think of leadership as pulling all the details together to pull off a meeting. There’s a discussion to prep for, logistics to coordinate, meals to plan, houses to clean, texts to send. And we forget that something spiritual is going on that we have access to God for.
Tim Keller: “Looking back over your nearly 50 years in Christian ministry, what’s something you regret? What’s something you wish you had done differently?” And he didn’t hesitate. He said, “Oh, that’s easy. I wish I’d prayed more.”
As leaders, one of the best ways we can lead our groups is to simply pray for the members of our group and to protect time when you gather to pray together. Gospel Communities are a great place in our life together to give the body at large opportunity to pray. So cherish that time in your meetings and ensure it’s guarded.
Those five priorities include:
- Prioritize God's Word over Feelings and Circumstances
- Prioritize Spiritual Needs over Other Needs
- Prioritize God's Opinion over People's Opinions
- Prioritize Prayer over other Leadership Responsibilities
- Prioritize Holiness over Happiness
