HeartQuest 101

You’ve heard some version of this story… a guy walks down the street and he falls into a deep hole where the walls are so steep he can’t get out.

How about using this version…

• A physician passes by and the guy shouts up, “Hey buddy! Can you help me out?” The doctor writes a prescription, throws it down in the hole and moves on.
• Then a Sunday school teacher comes along and the guy shouts up, “I’m down in this hole. Can you help me out?” The teacher quotes a Bible verse and moves on.
• Then a friend walks by. “Hey, Bob, it’s me. Can you help me get out?” So the friend jumps in the hole! The first guy says, “Are you crazy? Now we’re both stuck down here.” To which the friend replies, “Yeah, but I’ve been down here before – and I know the way out.”

Remember, it’s all about relationships! The pastors of a church teach, preach, mentor, equip, train, lead and encourage the saints for the work of ministry… Every church member is a minister; the pastors of a church are the administers.

There are people that you can reach that the pastors will never reach! The pastors are looked at as salesmen, where those not in professional ministry might be viewed as satisfied customers. How can your staff help you grow as a Christian and/or help you to better minister to those around you?
