Go to Hell, Pt.1

Because I am unwilling to tell the rest of Manchester to GO TO HELL…as the Lead Pastor I must become an EQUIPPER AND NOT A DOER (Eph.4:1-12).

As the lead pastor it is my primary responsibility to equip the staff to lead this church.  Honestly, if I can’t develop leaders around me to adequately care for and lead this church then I should just hang up my hat now.

Because I am unwilling to tell the rest of Manchester to GO TO HELL…I will not be the bottleneck to this church.

In every organization there is a top level leader; that leader is always the LID TO GROWTH.  I realize that in order for this organization to grow to its fullest potential then I must be growing to my fullest potential; otherwise I am the lid; I am the cap for growth.

Because I don’t want to be the GROWTH BARRIER TO THIS CHURCH…I will be an EQUIPPER AND NOT A DOER.

As the lead pastor to this church I must DO WHAT ONLY I CAN DO (receive the vision from Jesus, communicate that vision through preaching & teaching, and equip the staff to lead this church) and then DELEGATE THE REST.
