A Vigilant Leader…

Vigilance means to be watchful, specifically a careful watch regarding areas presenting danger or difficulty.

Few areas rival the need for leaders to be vigilant concerning their responsibilities.

Leaders carefully watch over…
…the spiritual growth and development of each Christian.
…the physical concerns inside and outside of the church.
…the influence of the church within the community.
…the missional outreach of the gospel to the world.

The list could address more but the direction is obvious.

The responsibility is great and when leaders are vigilant to the task before them they can take advantage of beautifully choreographed God given opportunities.

Missional Leaders

In marketing, a company seeks the right angle to motivate people to purchase their product.

Sadly, trillions of dollars are spent globally to learn how to entice consumers to participate in what they do best…consume.

Spiritually, the result leads to what is often called the “attractional” church. The idea is to provide some sort of gimmick in the form of a program or activity that will attract people to “come in” and find Jesus.

However, Jesus provided a different marketing strategy that ensures success. This strategy involves “going out,” what is identified as “missional.”

We need missional leaders today.
