Hey all,
I hope this finds each of you well. Several of us were very blessed to attend an amazing conference this past Wednesday and Thursday. The speakers asked some very tough questions that got me thinking.
We are very priveleged to be the leaders of our Life Groups. God has given us an incredible responsibility to lead people closer to Him. This is not an easy task, and certainly not one that should be taken lightly. God has also called us, most importantly I believe, to disciple those around us, to create the next generation of leaders who will continue His work. In light of this, I want to ask you the following questions:
1. At LifePoint our mission is to “Lead people into a deeper relationship with God”, what are you as a leader doing to accomplish this task? How much time are you devoting to preparation for your weekly meeting? How much time do you spend in prayer for each of you group members?
2. Who are you training to be the next leader in you group? Have you chosen an apprentice? How are you discipling this person?
Sorry, I know that was more than 2, but I really believe you as a leader should be able to answer these questions. If you can’t answer them, take time over the next 48 hours to develope a plan so that in 2 weeks you can answer them. I love and appreciate each of you so much.
I also want to remind you that God is truly amazing!!! I challenge you to remember, and thank God everyday that you are His child. I feel we often forget this as we go through our day to day lives, but we are each a child of God. How incredible to have such a loving, encouraging, disciplined parent to watch over us. Just think of how much you love your children, or the children in your family, it seems impossible that someone could love us more than we love those children, but God does. God loves us on a level that we will never, while on this earth, be able to comprehend. We are precious, adored children of God!!
Love you all,
Jackie Daley, Director Of LifeGroups
