Many Christians have asked themselves, “What is my part in God’s big plan?” A
simple answer is to work for God’s ultimate purposes on earth. The end that
God is working for has been called God’s Z. To learn more about Z thinking and
how it can guide you to do the will of God

He also makes the observation that “true leaders do not seek power but are driven by a passion to achieve a noble cause.”  In our context, we have the ultimate noble cause, that of Christ’s Kingdom.

The church is simply a representation of God‘s hand at work in a group of people transformed into followers of Jesus Christ, growing into a healthy body of believers. Why plant churches? Because we love God, and we love people.

* Leadership is about influence more than power or authority
* Godly leaders must be consistent in their obedience to God. People will choose not to follow those who are hypocritical.
* The foundation of our leadership must be fidelity to the Word of God and the instruction of the Holy Spirit.

Our topic for 2025 was steward leadership, and today we launch into 2026 with a new series on Leadership Development.

I believe that our current limitation to further growth lies with the need to identify, raise up, equip and empower more leaders.

Acts 3:5, and the man began to pay attention to them equally, expecting to receive something from them. (anticipate, expect) When we pray for God to be in control of our hearts in the coming year, we can wait with expectation because God is always faithful to us. We can stand in that truth that he gives us to be transformed into his image.

As we close out 2025, in this episode I want to say a big thanks to the many people who make possible the
Multiply podcasts.

The world we live in is broken. We see brokenness all around us. But this was
not God’s original design. God created the world so that we could experience
his love and so we could love one another. Finally, 2,000 years after calling Abram, in the fullness of time, God sent his one and only Son to be born in Bethlehem.

This is God’s Big Story. The story of Christmas, when his Son took on flesh and
became one of us, is an important part of that Big Story. So, tell it well and tell
it often; tell others and tell it over again to yourself. Tell it to your family and
your church. Tell it to your village and your nation. It is the greatest story ever
told!
