✗ Hillsong Conf 2014: The Local Church by Bill Hybels ✗

• Luke 5
• The local church is the hope of the world with the message of entrustment which can transform lives
• But its future primary rest in its leaders
• If it is flourishing, the leadership is in action
• Someone is building teams, solving problems instead of backing away, inspiring and motivating people, rising up the next generation of leaders
• You will not just find great preaching but great leadership
• Do you look for action oriented people?
• Credit hogging does not contribute to healthy team dynamics
• If a team works hard together and one person takes the credit for the achievements of the team, that is a team buster
• It was not your troop strength, but God lifting you up
• Be careful about comparing and counting
• It is about what do we do in the kingdom of God where His power is equipping us to do
• 4. The grander vision test
• Think a grander thought – multiply the excitement factor, thrill of redirection lives
• God only has one concern and only treasures one thing in this whole world, is people
• When the grander vision seizes you, you look at everything through a diffierent set of lenses and you wonder why you want to settle for regular fish
• 5. The will you leave it test
• The grander the vision, the higher the price tag
• It is not for the faint of heart
• Go after it, and whatever you attach a value to it, rearrange your life for it
• You will stay in the miniature vision because of other`s approval or dollars until you cannot stand the less impact its making
• It is worth it, and you will be glad for the rest of eternity
