| Title: “Vital Worship” |
| Theme: In order for a church to be great she must be involved in vital, alive worship. It is not so much that
vital worship makes a church great as vital worship identifies churches that are on their way to greatness.
Unless and until we have alive, cognitive, emotional and worship that comes from all our heart, mind, soul
and strength, we will never become a great church. It is like hoping to become a great athlete without ever
breaking a sweat or any real effort. |

| Title: “Confronting the World” (church discipline?) |
| Theme: In order for a church to be great she must be about allowing God’s Kingdom to Come on
earth as it is in heaven. This automatically implies confronting the world systems and the world’s
agenda and promoting God’s agenda. We must be about the business of minimizing Satan’s influence
and maximizing God’s. |

| Title: God Honoring Preaching of the Gospel |
| Theme: Unless we are preaching Christ, and Him crucified, we are merely giving another human
opinion on how to save the world. And to be quite frank with you, we have more than enough human
solutions. What we need to have is a word from God. A divine revelation of what the solution
is to the world’s problems. And the solution is the Gospel. The Good News of Jesus Christ
coming to seek and save that which is lost. Whatever is lost, Jesus has come to redeem, rebuild,
restore, renew, reform, revitalize, rebirth, resurrect, and reconcile the world. A great church will
preach this fact . . . this reality . . . this truth. |

| Title: “God Honoring Leadership” |
| Theme: Leaders can only take people where they themselves have been. And people will follow
only those people whom they want to follow. Leaders with no one following are no leaders at
all. And leaders who need to manipulate, coerce, or wrangle are herders, not shepherds. |
