Quotes from Lead ONE-Part 3

Jana Hildebrandt and Kim Bontrager 
"Removing Barriers. . . Connecting Dots"

What are barriers that keep people from coming back or keeping them from God?

Environment, Communication, Worship Services

Public Space-parking, nursery, classroom, worship space, lobby, etc.

Connect the dots: 

Evaluate each environment. . .
what is the purpose of this environment?
who will use this environment?
what do we want people to experience?
what do we want people to leave with?
who's responsible for quality control?

Our communication should not be louder but smarter.  
Who is accessing information?  

Don Morris-"Multiplication: A Matter of Factors"

Four Multiplying Factors
  • Multiplying requires everyone to have an apprentice.
  • Multiplication is proactive not reactive.
  • Multiplying is not about size; it's about leader readiness.
  • Multiplying isn't about our kingdom, it 's about God's Kingdom.

Three "must haves" for apprentices:
  • Relational intelliegence
  • Spiritual Velocity
  • Teachability
Don't ask do you want to be my apprentice? Instead, thinking about apprenticeship and offering to get together to help them grow as leaders.

Andrew Statezny-"Innovation: Going Farther Faster"

Willingness to change is the door to innovation.

Mindsets to kill innovation:
  • We have never done it that way.
  • We don't like change
  • We don't have experience.
  • We don't have the resources.
 You can't grow what you don't measure. You can't measure what you don't value.
Innovation happens in constraint. Constraints force new ways of thinking, systems, and effectiveness.

Sermon Notes-"Transitional Thoughts"

Introduction: As I was thinking and praying about what to share during my final sermon on staff, I began to think of the transition that I am making as well as the church.   We as pastors have been consistently focused on three priorities over the last several years: prayer, worship and equip.   So, even though I may no longer be on staff in a few weeks at this church, as a member of this church I believe just as strongly that Hesston MB needs to continue to be about these priorities in the days ahead.   However, the more I prayed about it, the more I realized that to get to these priorities, we as a church also had to make some transitions so that is why I am entitling this message “Transitional Thoughts”.   Transition is defined as “the process or an instance of changing from one form, state, activity, or place to another.” Educate to Equip- Ephesians 4:11-16 ·          What is the difference?   o    To educate the focus is information; to equip the focus is transformation o

Sermon Notes "Plans" based on Acts 10:24-48

Introduction: I would like you to think about the word “plans”. Write down on your bulletin some plans you have for: this week, summer, your future, etc.   I am a planner so I love to know what is going to happen.   Yet we also need to keep in mind a Scripture from Proverbs 19:21 “Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.” We are going to see from the story of Peter and Cornelius, two great leaders who had plans yet God had a different plan and purpose for them and for others. Prepared- vs. 24-29 ·          Vs. 23-24-Peter and Cornelius have visions (10:1-23) o    Peter is told not to call common what God has made clean (15). As Peter is trying to figure out what it means, some men come and find him. o    Cornelius is told to call for a man named Peter and is given his location and he sends his servants to find him. o    Peter makes preparations and goes to Caesarea, Cornelius gets ready for his guests and invites his close fr
