1.  Unless we’re serving, we’re really not leading.

Sure, we can manage or drive, but that’s not leading, it’s enforcing.

Leadership is modeling a belief in a way that influences others to want to model it too.

Jesus led by serving:

Matthew 20:25-28 (NIV)
Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. 26 Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, 27 and whoever wants to be first must be your slave— 28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

Who are you investing into?
How are you empowering those you serve with?

We want you to be encouraged!  Keep making the investment, it’s making an impact!  Keep owning it and moving forward.

2.  Place value on building connections.

Connection takes place when a person feels seen, heard, and valued.

How do people feel after spending time with you?

*Avoid the danger of viewing people as a resource or a problem.
*Encourage reciprocity.  Relationships should be mutually edifying.

3.  Be A Game Changer

Who do you cheer for when your favorite team is playing?

Do you cheer for this guy?

Or this guy?

We cheer for the players!

The players are the ones who have opportunity to make a difference.

Thank you for serving —- You are in the game!

You are Owning It!

What steps can you take to improve your game?

The players suffer the bumps, bruises, and injuries, not the fans.

We too are in a battle…  A spiritual battle… A battle that does not relent.

Our enemy wants to steal, kill, and destroy every godly and good thing in our life & church.

However, we have a promise:

2 Corinthians 4:7-10 (NKJV)
7But we have this treasure in earthen vessels that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. 8We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed— 10always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.

How does this promise encourage you to stay in the game?

We believe as we stay in the game God will continue to empower us to Win the Lost, Disciple Believers, and have Freedom of Worship!

God bless you as you serve!

Go Above And Beyond!

What am doing to participate in and celebrate victories?

City Groups are important and a vital part of the mission of CFM to disciple believers.  Your leadership extends beyond your group, it is an example to others!

You are a leader!  Because of this, We ask you to make plans to be a part of the CFM Church-Wide Leadership Meeting.  We ask everyone who serves in any area at CFM to be there.  These nights are important for a few reasons:

1.  They foster Unity within our church! 

2.  They are Encouraging!

3.  They provide time to share the heart and mission of CFM!

Also, I have one more request… prayerfully invite someone from your group to attend with you.

Who is in your group that you could invest into on a deeper level?
Are they a person who you could see leading a group?
Do they to carry the vision of CFM?

Ask that person to attend this meeting with you!
