Jesus Culture

Almost two weeks ago, I went to a conference in Brisbane called Jesus Culture.  These are my notes of things that were special to me from two of the teaching sessions.  Enjoy.

Foundations
At Jesus Culture one of the speakers talked about how important the foundation is.  Our foundation in Christ is made in secret .  Without a foundation nothing can last.  Our foundation can seem strong on the outside but it is only what is looks like on the inside that matters.  Make sure that personal breakthrough can occur and that will lead to critical breakthrough.  Unless our own foundation is on the rock, Jesus, God can't use us to impact and create breakthrough in cities.
Special points to me
A few points that were special to me from Jesus Culture were- In life we must learn not to go along for the ride, we must lead the ride. Being a leader means responsibility, and leaders live with that responsibility.  The church has responsibility for the nation and as a church we live with that.  Unless we are right with God we can't lead people in and to God's ways.  As leaders we must live, awaiting for God to bring revival.

Three points were...
Opportunity - opportunities will arise and we must be prepared to lead not just observe.
Empower - We need to pray that God will empower us when opportunities arise.
Faith - We need faith when God empowers us to be able to make a difference.

That sound really inspiring! A fortnight ago I was privileged to sit in on our youth leadership weekend at our church. It was all shades of awesome. The young leaders were pretty inspiring too. I met someone new, and the very next weekend when I was in desperate need of a few more leaders for my (huge) Sunday School class, she and a friend stepped right in and helped! It's exciting to be a part of Good Things Happening!
