Things that deepen our Relationship with Christ and includes others


Here are some questions I will be asking our leadership tonight.

1. What did I learn in God’s word this week?
Did you write it down?
Who did you tell?

2. Is my burden for prayer growing or diminishing?
Notice it said burden first
A burden that is not acted on is buried.

3. Does my heart break for the things that break the heart of God?
Does God’s heart break for the same things in every city
What about your city, what are the top three things in our area?

4. Have I grown accustomed to or accepted sin in my life?
Sin must be seen before we do something about it.
Without others inputting into our lives …acceptance will be easy

5. Am I doing ministry out of an overflow of God’s work in my heart or out of my own strength?
Our change will bring change in others.
Are we at a point that there is no other way it will happen without Him?

6. Has my leadership and ministry deepened, changed, or evolved in a positive way in the last year?
Without attention to details, change will not happen
Outside influences helps as well.

7. Do I have a sincere peace that I’m living an authentic life of spiritual integrity?
Peace is when things look the same in the entrance way as it does in the closet.
Who sees that peace?

8. Is my heart growing larger for people and God or is it shrinking?
Larger doesn’t always mean more time.
Larger does mean more people will see the heart of God in us.

9. Am I closer to God today than I was a year ago?
What does “closer” mean to you? …define it and go for it.
Who see’s the growth?

10. Do others comment that they can clearly see evidence of God’s work in my life?
Are these people outsiders or insiders?
Most the time it’s dealing with dirt when others see it clearly.

Talk among yourselves

Have a great day

David
