How will you approach your elders and leaders with your ideas? Act (Do!)

  7. Ten Cannons of Growth 5. Unity through relevant preaching Unity through Bold Preaching: Are the messages pointed, bold, direct, and convicting? Do you sugar-coat the truth? Is God’s word respected or simply ignored? Unity exists only through the response and conviction that God’s word has final say and authority over your life. Do you agree or disagree? Is this statement true in your life? What do you need to do to demonstrate this truth in your life? What about congregationally?

Do you believe that the Commission Jesus commands in Matthew 28:19-20 is your responsibility to carry out? If your neighbor was on fire you would do the following: Call 911 Watch him/her burn Sit rooted to your seat uncertain what to do next Act with whatever you can find to put out the fire What would you do if this was your family or close friend? What can you do or what specific steps will you make to: Make Jesus mission your mission Focus on the souls of those close to me

What were the situations that existed and where were these people? How does this translate to you and the congregation? List specific ways in which people in need of the Good News can be reached?
