8 Principles For Doing Ministry Today


Last Tuesday I shared to all of our staff combined here at Grace Church regarding 8 principles for doing minsitry today that we can see in Jesus' miracle of feeding of the 5,000 men plus women and children. This is a very significant miracle as it is the only miracle of Jesus that is metioned in all 4 Gospel accounts. Below are the 8 principles I shared:

#1 – Develop a heart of compassion! (Matthew 14:13-15)

#2 – Look beyond your reality and resources - see Jesus! (John 6:5-9)

#3 – Start with what you have! (Matthew 14:16-17)

#4 – Give what you have to Jesus! (Matthew 14:18)

#5 – Do what Jesus tells you to do! (Mark 6:39-40)

#6 – Keep coming back to Jesus! (Mark 6:41)

#7 – Trust Jesus for the results! (Mark 6:42-44)

#8 – Be open to brokenness in your life! (Matthew 14:19)
