Our Mission: The Great Commission • Mitch Maloney to Leaders – “The church’s job is to raise up one more righteous and godly generation to come after us… If we choose not to do that or we fail at it is to choose to die as a church.”
Un Untie ie that Donkey – Ma Matt H Hart rtley • Luke 19:30 • In what ways might the younger generation be “tied up” like that donkey? • In what ways might the mature generation be “tied up” like that donkey? • What is the mature generation’s role in untying the younger?
Don’t t Mi Miss God - Ma Matt Hart rtley • Mark 10:46ff – Blind Bartimaeus • Have missed encounters with God? Why? • How important, when He visits, is that we offer Him hospitality to move from a visitation to His habitation among us? • What do we do differently to move from a visit to a habitation?
Tran ansit ition ion throu ough gh St Stor orms - Ma Matt Hart rtley • Luke 8:1 • Assignment – other side of the lake. • 1 st – Storm • 2 nd – Demons bound • 3 rd – Issue of blood (12 years) healed = the current church. • 4 th – 12 year old girl awakened = Assignment: Awakening a new generation. • Discuss these in relation to yourselves as well as the FFCOG.
Re Religion vs. Outpourings – Ma Matt Hart rtley • Movements of the Spirit warned against because they are abnormal. • Movements turn into “monuments” • People put their name, doctrine and “reigns” on it. • What must we guard against here?
Don’t Stop Short – Matt Hartley • Revival is not built on momentum, but on PRESENCE. • Talk about the difference. • When God is moving, why is our “yes” and obedience the key to continuing to host His presence? • If He stays, our lives, church and city will never be the same. • “Do not get the close and STOP!” • John 5 – Pool, waiting for the moving of the water (a reputation) verses looking to Jesus (the Person, the Healer) • Do not stop at 211 degrees. 212 degrees is boiling point.
Le Leadersh ship Sh Shift – Ma Matt Har Hartle tley • Leadership Shift – Moses is “dead”, Joshua must lead now and possess the land. • “Moses” was not chosen to lead them “in” though he was chosen to lead them “out.” • How important is it to move with “chosen” leadership for the “season we are in? • Golden Calves – What onions and garlic do we prefer to milk and honey? Are we willing to leave onions and garlic in Egypt?
The Smell of the Field – Matt Hartley • Genesis 27 – Isaac blesses Jacob • “the smell of my son is like the smell of the field which the Lord has blessed.” • Rebecca was barren, became pregnant, then “struggle” began. • You will experience struggle when “pregnant” with something greater. • David and Moses were found in the field! • Fairfield Church of God is not struggling because of weakness or wrongdoing, but struggle is an indicator “we are going somewhere!” • Pregnancy causes “changes” in the body; Not everything “fits” now. • Discuss this.
