Monday 10th July
John Coles of New Wine came to Christ Church today to lead a New Wine leader’s day. As a days work at Christ Church this one was a bit different, as it involved more input than output. I took copious notes. (Well copious for me. Others may find them a bit flimsy and without backbone.) For my own delectation I reproduce a few of then here.
John spoke on:
Leading like JesusMatthew 10 (ish)
Priorities & Principles
1) Mentality of War - our focus should be on winning the battle - because the devil's reason for existence is to hide the truth and veil minds. We need courage: 2 Chronicles 32:7-8. Sometimes the leaders get wounded. People will still be against us even, and perhaps more so, if we are getting things right. Leadership is not ministry & vice versa. We need to know when to get involved at the 'coalface', and when to stand back and direct as leaders.
2) Means of Prayer - engaging with God.
Ephesians 6:13-20 .Once the armour is on we must stand, and then pray! If Paul needed people to pray for him how much more do we need prayer for us.
3) Mission - begin with the end in mind. 'For the son of Man came to seek and save what has lost' Luke 19:10 People follow leaders who are their age and peer group.Church can recreate generational family type groups because it can be all age.Opening attitude which allows for changing or increasing knowledgeCourses like Alpha can be used for changing attitudes because they can alter preconceptions - food, no condemnation. Laying hands on, praying for people, attitudes Change, and people are more open to receive Jesus
4) Message of the kingdomMessage is Good News. Everything from the nature of the building - how clean it is, to keeping the services from being boring must speak of Good News.Good News of Love.Good News of Hope.Good News elicits Faith.For the Kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power.
5) Motivation of compassion
There was a time of sung worship before we started, followed by some prayer after the morning session before lunch.After lunch the time was taken up by discussing the setting up of a New Wine network, where local churches who want to ally themselves to New Wine meet together with speakers, and at other times for prayer and support.
Today's mileage: 64 miles
