Steve Sjogren: Session 3 Notes on "Winning Cities for Christ"
We are more than just a 'church' - more than winning a neighborhood - we are winning Cities for Christ!
- When you are winning a city - planting a church - you have to engage in conversation. Tell your story - sell it everyday to 5 different people.
When planting the Vineyard in Cincinnati, God spoke to Steve and told him - "You are Small irrelevant and boring"...and he spent many months figureing out how to not be small irrelevant and boring.
Many churches have a 'Come and See mentality'. Until Christ returns, no church should be come and see. Because nothing we invite people to come and see is relevant, big, or exciting.
Churches should be "GOING and DOING"...Going and doing acts of love is what makes church exciting and relelvant. We are in danger every week of being small irrelevant and boring, unless we go and do.
LOVE PEOPLE AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
Steve Sjogren is the founding Pastor of Vineyard Community Church in Cincinnati, and loves servant evangelism.
