In what specific ways is the senior leader of your church a spiritual example to you? Let the leader know your thoughts in writing to encourage them.
If you have a gifted evangelist in your church, ask them to explain why and how they share the Gospel with others.
Devise a way for your church to share the Gospel using social media.
Gather a group together in your church to map the needs of the surrounding community. Share your findings with others in the church, including the leadership.
Write down the names of three friends or relatives, then write down three needs for each. Make time to offer a short prayer for each person every day based on those needs.
Analyze how much of what you sing in church actually focuses your attention on God, teaching or reminding you about His nature and purposes.
Consider what "messages" your church leaders send about their belief in your church's future and speak to them about your observations in an encouraging way.
Consider what can be done through a sermon in the context of a worship service that cannot be done equally well or better through another forum of church life.
Speak out about the positives of a person or current situation (or how things could clearly be worse) when in any negative sounding discussions this week (but then of course work to make the situation better).
Take time before meetings this week (e.g. at meals with your family, a leadership or team meeting, a mentoring appointment, etc.) to think about a celebration point that relates to that individual or group as a whole and then share that point in the meeting.
Make a list of ten reasons for celebration from your life this week (eg. from your work, church, ministry, family and friendships, the Bible, etc.) and share some of those points with at least three people from your church.
Ask yourself and someone within your sphere of influence (who seems to be travelling smoothly on their Christian journey), what kind of challenge you should be taking on if it were to cause you to ask God for help whenever attempting it.
Share with someone why you believe they have a particular gift that is better developed in them than in yourself.
As a child I spent hundreds of hours playing with Lego. Out of my large suitcase of mixed blocks and colours came houses, tractors, people and various unidentifiable but lovingly crafted clumps of creativity.
It’s common these days for words to end up attracting a meaning that is the opposite of what was originally intended. “Wicked” for some now means “fantastic” and something can be both “cool” and “hot” depending on the crowd you’re with. It might come as a surprise that the Church has been at this sort of thing for years.
Proverbs 13:10 (NIV)
10 Where there is strife, there is pride, but wisdom is found in those who take advice.
Proverbs 13:10 (NLT)
10 Pride leads to conflict; those who take advice are wise.
