TUESDAY TALK - March 3, 2015

We are in the middle of a 6 week series focused on building the core "Teams" of the Bloomington-Normal campus. Previously, we had discussed the core "Building Blocks" which are the heart of our new campus, but these teams are the implementations of that vision.

Reminder of the Building Blocks
1 - Culture of Invitation
2 - Community of Hope
3 - Continue Jesus' Ministry
4 - Commitment to Excellence
5- Carriers of the Gospel of Grace

TEAMS
1) Connect
2) Family
3) KINGDOM

Matthew 6:33 "…seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness."

The Kingdom of God is NEAR YOU NOW.
The Kingdom is at hand.
The Kingdom has come.

BOOKS:
"Power Healing" by Wimber
"There is More" by Randy Clark

Matthew 28 - all authority was given to Jesus… he lives in YOU… we now have the authority to do what Jesus did!

John 14:12 - same and greater works!

Elements of a KINGDOM team…

• Last, lost, least - OR - the lost, sick and poor
• Ministry line at worship
• SoKM (school of kingdom ministry)
• Kingdom Lifestyle (YouTube)
• Hope Centers
• JESUS' ministry is every day part of us

KEY THOUGHTS:

1. Know the roots of who we are as a movement.
2. Know the roots of who we are as a church.
3. Kingdom Theology gives framework to everything we do as a church.

TUESDAY TALK - February 24, 2015

We began a new series on Tuesday nights. It is a 6 week series focused on building the core "Teams" of the Bloomington-Normal campus. Previously, we had discussed the core "Building Blocks" which are the heart of our new campus, but these teams are the implementations of that vision.

Reminder of the Building Blocks
1 - Culture of Invitation
2 - Community of Hope
3 - Continue Jesus' Ministry
4 - Commitment to Excellence
5- Carriers of the Gospel of Grace

TEAMS
1) Connect
2) Family

A family team focuses like Jesus focused…

Matthew 19:13 Then children were brought to him that he might lay his hands on them and pray. The disciples rebuked the people, 14 but Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.” 15 And he laid his hands on them and went away.

Elements of a FAMILY team…
Nursery
Preschool
Grade-school
Teens (Revolution)
College (when applicable to the city)

These are all great training grounds for ministry!

KEY THOUGHTS

1. The KINGDOM belongs to our children
2. They are the church NOW, not tomorrow
3. Family ministry will play a KEY ROLE in a new church in the Bloomington-Normal community.
