Take a look!

In a recent conversation that I had with a friend of mine, he reminded me how important it is to have a goal and a purpose. His leadership team had just got away for a week-in retreat to work on what their church would call, prophetic priorities. In other words, it’s the goals for there church for the next five years. The title “prophetic priorities” I think gives it a bit to is and a declaration that without God, these goals would be not much more then sound bites.

So what about your prophetic priorities. What is God challenging you do work on these next 5 years. Ask God to revel them to you. Write them down. Give them life through planning and strategies. Then ask others to help you accomplish them. And during the process, don’t forget to evaluate, not just at the end, but through out.

At the beginning of 2005, our leadership team identified five components of our church that we need to breath some more life into. The included our Small groups, prayer, evangelism, first impressions (Sunday Hospitality) and new believers discipleship. Well, it’s time to evaluate.
If we are going to elevate these practices in our church we need to evaluate how we are doing.

So that’s my mission this week. I let you know how it goes.
