Exponential – Day Two:Part One

Sorry if these notes are a bit scattered, but it’s what I took down during the day.

Speaker: Ken Blanchard

1. Leadership: from direction to coaching
2. Can’t teach people to change from the outside.
3. Jesus wants to give us a heart attack… from the inside.
4. Did you come to serve or BE served?
5. QUESTION: ARE YOU A GOOD STEWARD???
6. Servant leader: when you get constructive criticism, say “thank you”.
7. Your position is on LOAN!
8. Be a shepherd… go after the ONE.
9. Be as SERVANT first… and a LEADER second.
10. Servant Leadership:
11. (1) Set the vision & direction (Jesus first, others second, me third)
12. If you mention Jesus, he does all the marketing and all the work.
13. (2) Serving = implementation.
14. Serve, cheerlead, support, HANDS.
15. “we can do it, you can help” vs. “YOU can do it, WE can help!”
16. Habits
17. Eternal life is not all that attractive to people who’s life isn’t working out right now.
18. Anytime you’re not feeling joy, peace or righteousness, you’re detached from the vine.
19. SOLITUDE
20. PRAYER
21. STUDY the scriptures.
22. SUPPORT GROUP
23. Do not forget the unconditional love of the Lord. Your performance is not greater.

Speaker: Matt Chandler

1. 2 Corinthians 3:18…
2. Working for Jesus gets replaced by being WITH Jesus.
3. Transformed from one degree of glory into another degree of glory by beholding Jesus.
4. Constantly preach the gospel to yourself. It’s not an “entry point”
5. Judgement: Your righteousness is a stench to God outside of Jesus Christ.
6. Romans 15:13
7. Jesus told his disciples the Holy Spirit will remind them of everything… but when he gets to the communion table, he says, “REMEMBER THIS!”
8. God’s plan wasn’t only Israel… it was the ends of the earth.
9. HE has reconciled us to the Creator God.
10. Don’t just teach them about Jesus… but teach them to OBEY God’s commandments.
11. Mistakes today are made because we forget God was at work LONG before Luther and Calvin showed up… and long before YOU.
12. We have been invited in!
13. Have a respect for what has been handed to you… and a sense of responsibility for what you will be handing off.
14. The Church doesn’t need to be saved. It needs people to preach out of a pure heart.
15. Be faithful, let Him transform us… not gadgets.
16. Christ first… then His mission.
17. My calling is NOT better than Jesus Christ.

Building Worship Ministry from the Ground Up
Speaker: Mark Deymaz

1. Ethnic diversity and financial diversity.
2. If your church is going to make it in 10 years, you better be a diverse church.
3. First thing: THIS SHOULD HUMBLE US. Humble ourselves.
4. Humility is a conscious church.
5. Everyone in your church should be uncomfortable… and that makes them comfortable.
6. 1-The right theology of music: It’s not about you… your style of music.
7. Align the church with Christ vision… not with YOUR vision.
8. Go ahead and be an Acts 2 church, but you’re not done till you’re an Acts 11 church.
9. You begin with the right attitude and the right perspective.
10. How do you teach that to your team and others?
11. It’s not about the food… it’s about the family.
12. Phillipians 2 – “Thank God I have a seat at this table!”
13. 2-Practically: SAVE MONEY
14. Authentic worship is not about the hype… it’s all about the heart.
15. Assimilation: THEY change to fit into you.
16. Accommodation: YOU changing to include.
17. Revelation 7
18. If the kingdom of God isn’t segregated, why is the church?
