Church – Ministry – 1

. Ministry is a marathon. It’s  not  how you start that matters but  how you end.

. Vision is the ability to see the opportunities within your current circumstances.

. to design  the right strategy you must ask the right questions.

. Most healthy, large churches are led by a Pastor who has been there a long time.

. A Churches  health is measured by its  sending capacity, not its sending capacity.

. God always  uses imperfect people  in imperfect standards to accomplish His will.

. Wherever God guides, He provides.

. The Church must offer people something they cannot get anywhere else.

. Churches grow warmer through fellowship:

Churches grow  deeper through dealership.
Churches grow stronger through worship.
Churches grow broader through ministry.
Churches grow larger through evangelism.

Exodus 15:13

In your unfailing love you will lead the people you have redeemed. In your strength you will guide them to your holy dwelling.

As a minister, I am privileged to be present at many of the most important events in people's lives. Good or bad, to be there at the crossroads of life is a sacred trust. In those moments that are hardest, dying and death, verses like this one fill my heart with strength and remind me why I answered a call to serve in waters way above my head. God's promise here is a great reminder that what he began when he redeemed his people out of Egypt, he would also complete by bringing them into the Promised Land.

Now, we can hear a more powerful promise behind these words. We can find it even more reasonable to trust them. God did what he said for Israel. Since he did for them, can't we say with confidence, "I know you will guide us to your holy dwelling?"
