Jesus has not promised to build your ministry; he has promised to build his church.

If God was small enough for you to completely understand him, he wouldn't be big enough for you to completely trust him.

Jesus measured greatness in terms of service not status. God determines your greatness by how many people you serve, not how many people serve you.

Having authority implies accountability. If you reject the blame for failures under your watch, people reject your leadership.

The church must always show compassion, always.

Possessions only provide temporary happiness.

Absolutely nothing will revitalize a discouraged church faster than rediscovering it's purpose.
