Kingdom Building

Another note:

For Kingdom expansion, congregational health, disciples’ spiritual development, and the multiplication of a pastor’s ministry, every lay leader must be challenged to become a member of a ministry team and shown how to do it.

This is an important thing, because if a Pastor can effectively challenge church members, they will take on the work they are called to do, and they will own the work that God has planned out for them. The scary part and the challenge is the reality that if I don't do my part to help lead and equip people to do the work they are called to do, then I am hindering their ability to minister... It is certainly a tall order to be a minister.
