Catalyst 08 Lab w/ Ed Stetzer

Ed Stetzer:
Jesus – Who do you say that I am?

God has chosen the church to make known his manifold wisdom.
The more talented and gifted you are, the more likely you are to depend upon those gifts rather than the Lord Jesus Christ! Surrender your gifts to Christ for the Kingdom of Christ.

Make sure Jesus is the hero of the church, not your creativity. The message should be: “what a great God.” - Not “what a great church.”
Alan Hirsch – we’ve got to “re-Jesus” the church… church planting… our lives.

As much as it is your church,
Grab hold of it… be "mean about the vision" to reach the unchurched!
Jesus says: I will build my church – not you!

There are more verses in the bible that justify you having a concubine than forming a denomination…

If the kingdom of God is advanced,
Do not denigrate our bros and sisters in Christ – who are doing the work of the King.

Plant because the Kingdom has birthed the church. At the end of the day, the keys of the kingdom are given to the church.
