The next preaching series begins May 23, current title (up for debate) increasing your influence. The outcome for this series is to help the congregation realize the awesome influence believers have as a result of their relationship with God/Christ, and we called to be influencers. We'll review the lives of various biblical characters of influence with the hope we will be inspired to become persons of influence.
My goal is to have the first week's text and outline to you later today so we can begin the creative process on a very small scale, just a first step to try it out.
My hope is we can have a smooth process going by the first part of June??????

Yeah I think I dig this process. What a cool way to interact. I just won't be doing it at 4 or 5am like you are.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like an amazing sermon series. Precisely what we need to hear, how we need to start thinking. It bugs me more and more that not only the church, but myself as well in my personal life, I am always reacting instead of influencing. I'm feeling more and more the power of the Holy Spirit swelling up within me, gripping me, and I want to hear about ways that I can let that unleash on the world around me.
This will be incredible series. One I need to hear for sure, and one I would love to be speaking myself hahaha.
Careful, Doug...Mike just might have you speak about it! And i agree with you in that i won't be here on the wee hours of the morning like the big guy. I do think this is going to be a powerful subject for folks to hear about. One thing about influencing others that i need help with is not feeling so much pressure. Pressure on being a positive influence.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to hearing about the positive influences in the bible and in others' lives.
Let me know if you need anything
Glad to get the positive feedback. Yeah I need to get that time adjusted, bout hour and half off. Didn't hit my goal of getting more info to you today, maybe in the morning???
ReplyDeleteOh yeah how many you want to preach DD!!!! Actually I think Laura's turn is coming up!
hmmm...this would be on how others have maybe influenced my life, right? I would love to do one. And find a character from the Bible, maybe, that i think was a good influencer? How bout we chit chat about this? I'm liking this blog thingy...anyone interested in going to the Social Media Workshop with me next Tuesday? I'm planning to go to Methesco and would LOVE one or two others to come with!
ReplyDeletePM, lemme know what you'd like from me as far as preaching. Let's talk.
Great job with this! I think you're getting on track with this blog idea...now we just gotta try to get you moving with Twitter and FB!
GREAT! Let me get more organized and I'll get back to you both. I'll be gone the first two Sundays in July so that may work best?????
ReplyDeleteText for the 23rd, message one - Matthew 5:13-16 we are wired to be influencers. Thinking of using a domino as a prop, maybe some very large items to represent dominos on stage, demonstrate the power of influence. Also, I bet there's a domino clip of some sort on youtube, anyone want to research that? That's all for now, I'll send an outline later. Thanks
I'm actually out the first 2 weekends in July, as well, due to mission trip. oops!
