The local church

"We do not want, as the newspapers say, a church that will move with the world. We want a church that will move the world." —G. K. Chesterton

I'm working today on Sunday's lesson. This Sunday, Matt Coats and I will get before Prestoncrest and launch a new Leadership Support Ministry. I'm thrilled about the possibilities of this new ministry and with the team that Matt has put together to help lead this ministry. The goal will be to prepare,equip and affirm men and women who lead at Prestoncrest.

I believe more than ever that the local church is the greatest tool that God has put on the planet to impact the world for good. Also, I believe that the local church won't outgrow its leaders. So, we need to constantly empower new leaders and help them have the tools and preparation to grow to their full potential. Only then will we have a Spirit-guided church which is ready to move the world.
