Quote Corner

A few quotes that I've been pondering recently:

"Don't come to church to worship, come worshipping"Graham Kendrick 

"Biblical worship is God's covenant people recognizing, reveling in and responding rightly to the glory of God in Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit"Bob Kauflin

“Don’t just delegate tasks to the next generation. If you delegate tasks, you create followers. Instead, delegate authority to create leaders.”Craig Groeschel

"In ordinary life we hardly realize that we receive a great deal more than we give, and that it is only with gratitude that life becomes rich."Dietrich Bonhoeffer 

Prayer Week

Yesterday I was at a local church leaders meeting and we had a guest speaker talking about pastoral care. It was a brilliant time worshipping together and seeking God.

Something that stuck out to me from this time, was a quote that I thought I knew well...

Bill Hybels said 'The local church is the hope of the world'.

I thought that's where the quote ended, but he went onto say...

“The local church is the hope of the world, and its future rests primarily in the hands of its leaders.”

As local church leaders, we were asked...

Do you feel like the hope of Brentwood?

Let me asked you that same question....

Do you feel like the hope of wherever you live?
