EFFECTIVE CHRISTIAN MINISTRY

CRUCIAL COMBINATIONS & DECISIONS Col. 4:17 “See that you fulfil the ministry you have received from the Lord” Effective Christian Leadership Hinges on 2 Combinations and 3 Decisions COMBINATIONS 1. Working with the Holy Spirit in the Church o The Holy Spirit works with the Church (It pleased the Holy Spirit and us). He begins and motivates the gift of God in you according to how God wants to use you. As you begin to exercise the gift, you should submit to the guidance of the Church in accordance with the Word of God  Cornelius was sent to Peter to hear the Word and be baptised  Paul was directed to the Church for Holy Spirit baptism  It was the Church that sent Paul forth after the Holy Spirit had told him what he would do 2. Humility and Power o The perfect image of God is perfect power and perfect humility. In Jesus, Almighty God demonstrated humility to the extent that he submitted himself to unjust death to complete His mission of saving the world.
