Lifechange With Jack Redmond

Every teen deserves to hear the gospel! First we build relationships but then also plan organized time with teens. When we create services and programs to share the gospel and make disciples, it helps to set goals. When we build a team, each person takes resposibiility for a part of the goal. As each person does there part, we can watch our dreams come true!

We often want to reach a lot of people with the gospel. To do this, we often begin to put together events or programs to do this. This takes a plan. A vision is the dream we want to see become reality, planning is the roadmap that allows us to walk it out.

It's amazing that before Jesus began His public ministry, He put together a team of 12 people to do ministry with Him. Let's be like Jesus, let's build a team and change the world!

To build a great ministry, you must build a great team. Great leaders are strong enough to lead other strong leaders with strong personalities. Strong leaders are also able to move out of the way for others to serve in great ways!

We can always do more together than we can apart! We must have a vision that requires a team and then build that team over time. Let's make a plan and work the plan to build the team!

If we are going to build strong youth ministries, we must build strong teams. There is so much work to be done and so many gifts and talents needed to reach and keep teens. Let's work together, grow together and serve together.

Let's take a look at Psalm 23. The relationship between a shepherd and their sheep goes much deeper than most people realize. Jesus also wants a deep relationship with you!

Part of changing the world is the need for people to be uncomfortable with the status quo of society. God has called us to impact the culture of our workplace, school, neighborhood and country. It all begins with wanting more of God's will being done right where we live each day!

Sometimes the enemy of what God wants to do in our life is being comfortable! When we are comfortable, we will just conitnue in life on the same path. If we are to experience all that God has for us, we must become uncomfortable with the status quo!

Jesus was a role model to us on how to live victoriously. Jesus overcame sin, death, and much more. Through Him, we can learn to overcome whatever life throws at us. We can do all things through Christ and He came to show us how!

Many people do not really understand why Jesus came. Yes, He came to pay the price of our sins so that we could have relationship with our Father. Scripture also says it this way: He came that we may have life and to have an abundant life! Overcoming sin is the greatest reward for following Jesus but Jesus affects EVERY part of our lives!

Jesus tells us that He stands at the door and knocks. If we let Him in, He will come in and spend time with us. God will teach us His Will through the Word and His Presence. We are His children and He wants us to live out His best for our lives!

Knowing the will of God is VERY important! God has a perfect plan for you and the enemy does too! We must know God's will for our lives if we want to live it out. Let's dig into God's Word and learn how we can know God's will.

Don't settle for the little that the world gives you! God has more. Will you go and get it? Will you trust Him? God is infinite and His plan for your life will always be unfolding. God has more - and if you have an attitude of "I'm just getting started" you will continue to grow and experience God more and more!

God is infinite! Now matter how much of God's amazing plan you have experienced, He always has more! If you have been experiencing challenges or failure, this also applies. Keep going and keep growing! Whether you are walking in blessing or trials have the right attitude - you are just getting started!

Warriors have a mindset that is much different than civilians. They must have this mindset to win battles. When it comes to spiritual warfare, having the mindset of kneeling warrior can be all the difference between living in God's victory or being stuck in your current situation or losing that spiritual battle. Let's let God give us the mindset of a kneeling warrior!

We are all in a spiritual fight! The question is "are you winning?". Let's look at the importance of prayer and how through prayer we can - focus - fight and win our spiritual battles!

The world is seldom changed by one person, but most often the world is changed by many people doing small things over time. Radical Christianity is about being committed to changing the world right where you are each day. It's about being committed to love and serve until things change.

Things like loving the unloveable and serving people for no personal gain are seen as radical in our society. In a culture that is focused on self promotion and self gain, Christ is calling us to live a radically different lifestyle than what is promoted to us by the world. It is when we whole heartedly follow Christ and serve people where God's power is released and lives are changed!

We are called to be a prayer warrior in God's army! Are you a civilian? A reservist? Enlisted soldier or special forces? God's army is a spiritual army that win's it's fights through faith and prayer! Where are you now and where do you want to be in the days ahead? Much of it is up to you. As you grow in your prayer life, you will advance in your effectiveness in God's army!
