Growth is a Choice

"Growing churches are led by growing leaders and followers." - Rick Warren

 

Can I ask you today, are you growing? If you are a leader or follower in our church you must continually position yourself for growth - the growth and health of our ministry depends on you! All of us bear full responsibility for that growth and it must be a choice in your life.

You must make choices to grow daily.
One thing God has been challenging me with is that we can never settle for an environment of average. The only thing we can settle for is an environment of hope and growth.

Transformation is the goal as we spiritually grow in Christ. Moving from mediocrity to meaning in every area of your life is crucial if you and our church are going to grow. And the only way to do that is to be an active participant in your own development. When you grow the church grows. 

 

When you stepped into the church, you immediately became a leader, whether you were prepared to be one or not. All of us have the responsibility to fulfill the vision God has given us and the church no matter how scary that may seem sometimes.

There are four key components to growing well: You must (1) continue learning, (2) be eager to engage, (3) be quick to anticipate, and (4) make wise decisions. 

Your growth starts with that first key - remember we are all learners? If you want to grow you have to decide to be a lifelong student of your calling. 

The choice to keep growing is yours - and yours alone. 

You are Loved!
