Observe God’s Word

King David said, “The words of the Lord are flawless, like silver purified in a crucible, like gold refined seven times.”  And yet so often we just read His word superficially. In doing so, we fail to access the flawless riches the Bible provides for us. We fail to be fully enriched by God’s word.

Practice Accountability Part 2

“Effective leaders have the courage to hold others responsible when they have done wrongly.”  Today, we will discuss how good and godly leaders respond to serious mistakes and failures. 

Three Parts of Bible Study

Today’s podcast is about the three parts of Bible study.  Learning to observe, interpret, and apply the Bible can result in power and joy in your life.

Study the Word of God

The power of God’s Word changes us and then in turn can change others for His good and glory! We become increasingly hungry for Him, wanting to draw ever so close and deep into His presence. The more we study, we will be empowered to be effective for His called purpose upon all our lives.

 

Elements of Vision Casting

Today’s podcast is about vison casting. Jesus was a vision caster. As his followers, we want to live like he lived and do what he did.  This means that we too should be engaged in casting vision for a better future. 

Principles of Leadership Practice Accountability

Jesus taught about accountability in His parable of the talents in Matthew 25:14-30.  You likely remember the story.  A man went away on a journey and left certain amounts of money to his three servants. The first servant received five bags, the second received two and the third servant received one bag … “dividing it in proportion to their abilities.” (vs 15)

Village Church Planting Foundations

What is the basis for Village Church Planting? Is it the unique nature of village life and culture?  Or is it something more profound?

Today’s podcast is about the heart of what we do as church planters working in villages, and more specifically, about living out the seven basic commandments of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Vision Casting

Today we are looking at vision casting. VCP’s vision is to have a church in every village in Africa by 2050. This is a powerful statement or vision because it lines up with God’s word so perfectly. The great commission and the great teaching of Jesus in Matthew 22:37-40 Jesus said to him, “you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”  

The Lord Will Come From Heaven

When we read this scripture, the Apostle Paul is writing to the church believers in Thessalonica. He instructs them of an event that will fulfill scripture. The word is here as an encouragement THE LORD WILL COME.

What Hope we have; we will be united with Christ fulling Jesus’s words in John that says,” Where I am you will be also” Our hope is to be physically untied with Christ for all eternity.

Principles of Leadership Provide Feedback

One definition of “feedback” in this context is “evaluative or corrective information about an action or process.”  It’s important to note that feedback can be positive or it may be negative, or corrective.  It is the responsibility of the leader to share both positive and negative feedback to those under their leadership. 

Too much positive feedback can lead to over-confidence and self-satisfaction on the part of the follower.  He or she might get the impression that “all is well” when that is not really the case. 

On the other hand, too much – or only – corrective feedback can seriously discourage those under our leadership.
