The How
“Seven times in the passage, God refers to Himself as the Lord of Hosts, the Lord Almighty.
He deserves, desires and demands our best.”
“These people forgot that.
They actually had the audacity to offer to God blind and diseased animals.
God tells the priests to try offering those kinds of sacrifices to the governor.”
“God even tells the priests to shut down the temple, to shut the doors to cancel services, to just stop everything.
God has never been impressed with halfhearted worship.
The mediocrity is sickening to God.”
“They kept having church week after week with no intensity or intentionality.”
“God was concerned about the how.
It mattered to God deeply how sacrifices were offered to Him.. .
The priests created a culture of mediocrity.
And this profaned the name of God.
“
“Mediocrity bothers God because it violates His nature and behavior.
God is an excellent God, whose character is flawless.”
“Leaders offered an inappropriate response to God.
Instead of reflecting His attribute of excellence to the world, they modeled mediocrity.”
Pastor Rush has decided that change must happen.
Or he will die, internally.
The pain of mediocrity and ineffectiveness has become too great.. . .
You do not want to spend the rest of your life leading mediocre programs.
While activity abounds, excellence is missing.
Is the purpose of ministry to be busy?
What is the purpose of any church?
To Make Disciples!
How we do that matters.
We should want to be intensional about our disciple making.
If it happens by accident, then we have failed to do it well.
Just like the people in Malachi.
They brought inferior offerings in order to say they worshiped, but with no heart
Design a simple process—Clarity
Use this step to create an environment receptive to change.
Start with a clean slate by asking the question:
What is the definition of discipleship?
Saved , actively growing Christian who serve the Lord by serving people.
How does spiritual transformation take place.
People become mature disciples at our church by:
Place key programs along the process—Movement
Connect: Sunday Morning
Grow: Sunday School & Breakout groups
Serve:
Unite all ministries around the process—alignment
Have all ministries dedicate to the same process.
Children to Prime Time.
Begin to eliminate things outside the process—focus
