Sermon Illustration on Committees, Church
A
committee is:
A
group of people who, individually, can do nothing, but collectively can meet and
decide that nothing can be done.
A
group which succeeds in getting something done when, and only when, it consists
of three members, one of whom happens to be sick and the other absent.
A
collection of the unfit chosen from the unwilling by the incompetent to do the
unnecessary.
| The Purpose-Driven Church By Rick Warren / Zondervan Every church is driven by something. Tradition, finances, programs, personalities, events, seekers, and even buildings can each be the controlling force in a church. But Rick Warren believes that in order for a church to be healthy it must become a purpose-driven church by Jesus. Now the founding pastor of Saddleback Church shares a proven five-part strategy that will enable your church to grow...Warmer through fellowship - Deeper through discipleship - Stronger through worship - Broader through ministry - Larger through evangelism. Discover the same practical insights and principles for growing a healthy church that Rick has taught in seminars to over 22,000 pastors and church leaders from sixty denominations and forty-two countries. The Purpose-Driven Church shifts the focus away from church building programs to emphasizing a people-building process. Warren says, "If you will concentrate on building people, God will build the church." |
