I cannot stress enough how important and rewarding it is for all of us to become conversant with the content of Romans. My challenge is to have all of us read the entire book over the next three weeks. It’s not really THAT long. I would encourage anyone who can to take the time to read it all in one sitting. It takes less than an hour. Then, go back through it piece by piece each day. If you can’t take that kind of time then do what you can, however small. I have included my sermon notes because the sheer volume of material can be a little overwhelming. I can’t wait to see what God does through our study of this amazing book.

The challenge to go out in the community and “do something” was reinforced by goal number four.
Tell me what you’re thinking:
I don’t know about you, but for me the Leadership Summit never fails to disappoint in the area of messing with my mind, heart, paradigms, assumptions. . . you name it. I go through so many emotions and thoughts. If I’m being honest, sometimes I want to throw my hands up and say, “forget it, I can’t do this”. Then the next moment I am ready to run out of the room and take the next mountain.
One of the greatest needs I have is to process and discuss with others. I would love to hear how the sessions are impacting you.
I heard definite themes: Decentralize. Innovate or DIE. Trust God much more radically. Equip then release people. The only way you will get a hearing in the new reality is to SHOW long before you tell. Get off your back side and DO something. Trust God even more radically. Get off you back side and do MORE.
Here are a few questions to get us processing and discussing:
- How would you sum up some of your thoughts?
- Which speaker impacted you the most and why?
- What challenged you the most?
- What encouraged you the most?
- What idea stands out as the one you will most likely apply to your own leadership?
- How can we apply what we’ve learned to achieving our church goals?
Comment freely. I look forward to the discussion.
