Leading By Example
Once the decision is made to be outward, the next question is,
what does that look like and how do leaders make it happen?

The Most Important Resource
I have often said that the most
important resource any denomination has is its effective pastors. This is
certainly true in GHC.

Reflecting the Community
It amazes me how
congregations fail to realize that the least expensive mission field to reach,
and the easiest one to connect with, is the people who come to us. Many will
invest all kinds of dollars to support mission efforts overseas, which should
happen, while failing to be intentional about reaching the mission field God
sends us each week or during the month.

Turning Around
The five-hundred-year history of
Israel, from the time of Solomon until Judah is taken into captivity by
Babylon, reflects a spiritual roller coaster.

Why We Do What We Do
The reason we focus on growing healthy, reproducing congregations is to
serve the bottom line of mission. The reason we focus on leadership is
to serve the bottom line of mission ...

GHC Mentors
The GHC pastors have met in
monthly groups, called clusters, for a good many years. When I arrived in 1997
I was told by many pastors that these monthly meetings, apart from the
fellowship, were not a profitable use of their time. During the years from 1997
to 2001 these cluster meetings changed.

The Uncertainties of 2009
The year 2009 promises to be a
year of great uncertainty. None of us knows what the economy will do or not do
to enhance or hinder our ministry or any aspect of our lives. Many have hope
that the change in government will make a positive difference.

Our God is a Missional God
Since
the Fall of the human race our God's mission has been to reconcile women and
men back to Him. Perhaps the greatest evidence of God's missional endeavors is
the Incarnation...was the best planned and
best executed mission of all time.

The Fine Line
The leader of any organization,
including a congregation, struggles with walking a fine line between being so
authoritative that people serving in the entity become discouraged or so lax in
oversight that the organization loses the ability to function effectively.
