Catalyst 2008 – Steven Furtick

quick hits from Steven Furtick’s talk today at Catalyst 2008:

  • 1 Kings 18:41-48
  • When God makes you a promise it starts small, as a cloud out in the distance over the sea.
  • First comes the Promise of God, then you go through the process. Finally, you come to the payoff.
  • God is preparing you for what he’s preparing for you.
  • DO NOT miss the payoff because you couldn’t make it through the process. HANG IN THERE!
  • God is a covenant keeping God!

I would have had better notes on this, but I could barely type because the guy was so stinking captivating. I needed to

J-U-S-T

L-I-S-T-E-N.

Catalyst 2008 – Jim Collins

From Jim Collins talk:
-good is the enemy of great

-Greatness is NOT a function of the cards you’re dealt.

-Greatness IS a function of discipline and making choices.

-the great fall by over reaching.

-how do you know if you’re over reaching? You grow do fast that you end up compromising the seats in the bus and you put the wrong people in them.

-if you get the right “who’s” you’ll get the right “what’s.”

-if you keep and live by a to do list, you need an equally robust not to do list

-we are defined as leaders often by the decisions that nobody even knows we have to make.

Catalyst 2008 Andy Stanley

From Andys talk:
-Nehemiah 5:6-18 the reason Nehemiah could stand up and lead like he did was because his deeds and his creeds were aligned.

-the best leadership decision Nehemiah ever made was when first arrived on the scene and said “I’m not going to take my fair share.”

-we don’t have positional authority in ministry. We can’t make anyone do anything because our people are volunteers.

-we have a better kind of authority…moral authority.

-we have to align our creeds and deeds. When we do that we gain influence.

-we aren’t talking about being perfect…there’s no such thing. We ARE talking about being aligned.

The three most important ways we can apply this:

In our forgiveness, our family, and our finances.
