leaders’ roundtable

speaker, Johannes Amritzer, pizza, wings, friendships, diet coke, worship, prayer… can you say, “Ahhhh?”

key points (Colossians 4:2-6):

• SALVATION IS a MIRACLE. it is the transformational power of God in action to change a person; it involves a decision, but if it stops at logic alone, it’s only intellect, not conversion.

• SPIRITUAL WARFARE without evangelism –> “spacey” kind of faith; disconnected from the people who need to be reached.

EVANGELISM without spiritual warfare –> intellectualism, dryness

SPIRITUAL WARFARE + EVANGELISM –> creates opportunity for God’s power to be activated in the lives of those whose eyes have been blinded to the the truth

• EXPECTING THE BEST creates HOPEFULNESS & changes how we enter circumstances

• God will open doors specifically for me; NO ONE CAN CLOSE A DOOR OPENED BY GOD

• stop using “church language;” SPEAK IN A WAY OTHERS RELATE TO

• be someone UNBELIEVERS WANT TO BE AROUND; HUMOR is a key

• BE ALERT; DON’T MISS OPPORTUNITIES the Holy Spirit is setting up; be ready for His “pass” to achieve the goal

• speak with BOTH GRACE & SALT; use relatable terms, yet present truth thru what you’re saying, no matter HOW you say it

which one of these “sticks” most for you?
