TRAINING CAMP: Pastor Tim Walton
Most of us do all we
can to avoid pain. We hate pain—we fuss and complain at it. But
here is a case of a man who rejoiced in pain—something was being
birthed through his suffering that made it totally worthwhile.
Let’s learn how to walk a new path of strategic suffering. In
this case, "pain is good!"

A COACHES DREAM: Pastor Wayne Smith
What do you think
really jazzes your pastor? Big offerings? Big attendance? A
healthy salary increase? High approval ratings from the
congregation? Surprise—it has nothing to do with bigness or money
or public opinion.

Player Development: Pastor Tim Walton
Jesus never asks us
to do anything He has not done himself. He never asks us to go
anywhere He has not gone himself. Serving God is an extreme
sport—let’s learn from Jesus how to play it well!

BECOMING AN ALL-PRO: Pastor Wayne Smith
Face it—God can
do it all without any help from us. But He does involve
us. It’s like God has started a masterpiece of art, but before
it’s finished, He puts the brush in our hands! So is this
a God-thing or is it a human-thing? Or maybe, in some
unique way, is it both?

INJURED RESERVE: Pastor Gordon Everett
With such a perfect
God, what hope do we have of ever measuring up to His
expectations? How do we live with the ever-present gap between
what we are and what He wants us to be? There is a mature and
solid answer to this disturbing question! Come and find a place
of inner peace for imperfect souls!

EYES LOCKED ON THE GOAL: Pastor Wayne Smith
You know, we can
handle a lot of dissonance and ambiguity in this life, as long we
know that something good is coming our way. Most of us are mature
enough to accept short-term pain for a long-term gain. For the
Christian, what is that take-it-to-the-bank "carrot" that is
hanging out there? What keeps you going when you feel like just
giving up?

TEAM SPIRIT: Pastor Wayne Smith
Somebody once
quipped: "Living with the saint above; that will be glory! Living
with the saints below; that’s another story!" What are the deep
enduring "cultural" values that should always define the people
of God? No matter where you find Christians on any continent of
the world, here are some "God-things" that make for a great team!

SACRIFICE FOR THE TEAM! Pastor Tim Walton
In Old Testament times the altars were filled with lambs, rams,
goats, bulls, and birds. We don’t do that anymore—thank goodness!
But do Christians today give any kind of sacrificial gifts to
God? Take a sniff and check out what’s burning on the altar
today!
