I had the privilege of spending several hours yesterday with several pastors from around the Raleigh area at a Pastors Roundtable at C3 church with Matt Fry and Stovall Weems. Anytime I get around guys like that it is like drinking out of the fire hose. God has used both of these guys to passionately shape my life.
Here are a few of my thoughts from the roundtable.
Desire // Denial // Drive
- We must fight for a constant, relentless, personal pursuit of God.
- The church grows as we grow.
- We stop…the church stops.
- If you saw Celebration Church today you would see lots of stuff and gadgets but none of that has brought anyone into a relationship with Jesus.
- IT is the intangible relationship with Christ.
//Desire
- Are you excited about getting in God’s Word?
- “God, what are you going to speak to me today?”
//Denial
- Self Discipline
- regular times of prayer and fasting awaken us to areas of our life that aren’t right.
- Stay sensitive and fresh to the leading of the Holy Spirit.
//Drive
- take up your cross daily and follow me.
- Get up regardless of what you are facing.
- Jesus is worth it and the church is worth it.
- You get discouraged at 7000 just like you do at 700.
