- The local church is the hope of the world.
- For it to reach its redemptive potential it must be well-lead.
- It has incredible impact-potential.
- It has to be lead by godly, servant-oriented, humble, growing leaders.
- If it is lead by those kinds of leaders the gates of Hell will not prevent the full work of God in the world.
- Those of us with leadership gifts have to step up and have to step it up.
- We have to take responsibility for our own leadership development.
- Read as a discipline.
- Get around those who are better than you, who have been where you haven’t been.
- Ask the right questions.
- Get better.
- Go where leadership is taught.
- Keep leading strong wherever you are leading.
- Our church needs strong leaders.
- This church would fold tomorrow if it weren’t for the fantastic marketplace people who considered themselves bi-vocational, serving in leadership roles at Willow Creek.
- They have a huge group of unpaid staff that make Willow happen.
- Clergy and marketplace people need to forge bonds of unity to carry out the calling of the Church.
- The greater percentage of people you have at shared experiences enable you to move with critical mass from here to there.
- If we have an expanded experience together, we can expand the Kingdom of God together.
