Scripture of the Day
Leading the Church
Reconciliation

Effective Leadership
Know Grace! Ephesians 1:7-10
Now that we know what God has lavished upon us, what do we do as a church leader to model that to those around us? If your church is stagnant, one of the main reasons is because you are not getting what His grace is about and it has become stale, like out-of-date milk. Pray, seek forgiveness, and get back to your call. (9/19/2016)
Discipleship
