get the buzz – Building a brilliant church full of brilliant people! part two

January 26, 2008
They see long.


A brilliant church is always generational – Abrahams, Isaacs and Jacobs all uniting for the vision. A brilliant church is where the old celebrate the young and young celebrate the old. They are multi generational thinkers honouring one another. They love it when it’s filled with young people. It’s not just about ‘what’s in it for me’, but ‘what’s in it for us.’ It’s big, faith thinking! Where we are at in Stoke at the moment is fantastic. This is a new day an new church and a new Bethel, it is time to celebrate the fact that this is also a new generation.

Building a brilliant church full of brilliant people

That’s it it is time to get rid of boring church, in fact it is banned, I am sick of church being dull, predictable, safe, unbrilliant.

It is time to get the buzz once again to champion a Brilliant church full of brilliant people. Brilliant people are all about the team, long term influence, the tide of growth and high sacrifice – after all, the journey of faith is a high adventure to distant lands. There’s no turning back; no returning; no back tracking. The past is gone forever. Unbrilliant people sing yesterdays songs. Brilliant people sing new songs for the new day approaching. Unbrilliant people are couch potato legends, sofa saints (that’s why they love little, ineffective churches). Brilliant people want to be legends in the land, leaving a legacy for generations to come.

So what makes brilliant people so different from the run of the mill unbrilliant ones? over the next ten days we will look at who to get , and keep , the buzz, when everyone else seems to be losing theirs.
