Study Article This is how then we must live, because the
Gospel is the transforming, converting and convicting power of God, because it
transforms our fallen with God and by result our social relationships too. Our
growth, by our meet, produces the virtue of the dynamics of love, which is the
flow of the Holy Spirit working in us. In the previous chapters in Romans, Paul
lays out the truth of what Christ has done, now we are shown how this must
affect our lives and attitudes, and the people around us. Christianity is also
an offering to others in gratitude, by what Christ has done. Pleasing ourselves
is not the goal of the Christian life as so many pursue. We are to follow Christ
and be imitators of His character, so it transforms our character. We are to do
this through love and acceptance of others as Christ did with us, that we did
not deserve. We do not just hate the sin
in others and say we love them; rather we love them and hate the sin that
resides in us first (Matt. 7:4). We have the incredible privilege to here and know God personally through
His Word!

Leadership Article Relational Churches
Follow Christ
This means that we give up our personal plans and the goals and ambitions we have for our churches future. Yes, it will be a difficult struggle to leave the plans of our committees and personal ideas-our perceived needs-behind, and to surrender this all to Christ so to humbly follow as a servant to give our LORD first, to His glory with our obedience, doing what our LORD desires over our own ambitions. And this is what will help us prosper in making better decisions, including others, empowering people and building His Kingdom His Way. So, are you willing? Are you eager to do greater things for Christ? Consider how important this is for your maturity, character development, and your relationships, which translates to our joy and contentment in life. Following His precepts gives Christ the Glory. And to make this happen new have to get rid of what is in us that is in His way. And, when we follow through with what Christ has done for us by letting His Fruit of relationship building flow to others around us, we bring the results of love and obedience. The deeper commitment we bring to our LORD personally, the deeper impact we have on our church for the glory of His kingdom and people around us. More here: www.churchleadership.org
Church Growth Tip and Prayer of the Week
Ideas to consider: (Romans 12:18;
14:18-19; Ephesians 4:3; Hebrews 12:14) Leaders of growing churches empower the people in their care. They do not see or
use volunteers just as helpers, but as the tools and the prime resources with
which to glorify God, and enablers of the goals of missions and needs to be reached. They do this by
encouragement, training, and organization, all centered to have the people of
God growing in and receiving the Spirit in order to reach the full potential
that God has for them. If a pastor, coach, or key supervisor gives special recognition and
encouragement even once, that leader and/or volunteer will usually remain very
faithful and loyal to the church! (Romans 12; John 4:23; Colossians
1:24-29; 1 Timothy 4:15-16)Pray that pride does not set in with
your Leadership and Pastoral Staff (Psalm
10:4; Prov. 8:13). Pray that pride does not set in with
