Class Response #2 - Jeremiah & Cori Herbert

The Intersection Church-FVWC

They work together being co-leaders in much of what they do.

Just like in marriage, when you have a church body you believe in and car about, you commit through all of it (good and bad).

Numbers are AN important thing but not THE most important thing.  Go and make disciples out of all the nations.  We need to restore Jesus and teach about him in everything we do.  That’s what the Herberts and the Intersection believe.  A disciple learns and does what they are taught.

            -Everything we do is discipleship

            -There is an ongoing discipleship

            -The come and follow “principle” – quoted Jesus in scripture

                        -come and die (come and pick up your cross daily)

            -Our goal should be that we’ve taught people to live their whole life for the cause of Christ to the end of their life.

It takes more than one time to talk to people about what’s going on in your church.  You may have the same conversation but eventually you can get people to church, when you are persistent about it.  It’s not ultimately of what we can do but what God (the Holy Spirit) does through them.

120à3000 filled with the Holy Spirit

You have to still be connected to people whether they go to church or not.

Discipleship is a process and you need to let others in to connect them to Jesus.  Say you are working on something and someone asks you if they can help…don’t say no you can’t.  Get them connected with God in that way by saying, “sure”.

Disciple people in the area you are passionate for!  Know what your strengths are, what your passions are, go to someone who you can trust and ask them for help. J

When you sow seed into something, don’t just take the whole thing for yourself.  Share half of it with others in that group.

            -Time Management & Availability – “Ordering Your Own Private World” is a great book to read to work on this.  Workload and family – juggling that.

*I really like how they were explaining discipleship to us.  They get straight and to the point which I always love about them.  Cori and Jeremiah are very direct and knowing what they want.  I see much leadership in them and look up to them in that way.

*When doing events, that’s all they are if you are just worrying about that.  The more important process is the relationships you make while planning for the event.  Something also that I learned from Cori and Jeremiah today is that, though there may be people in your ministry that are more “talented” or whatever more than you, the Holy Spirit put you into that position for a reason.  Faith and creativity can come together in that way.  Always try to humble yourself.  Don’t be prideful.  Also, have a sweetness to people but be direct too.  They really inspired me in that way.  It’s just like I was told to be faithful no matter how hard it gets through a vision, continue to do what you love to do, what the Holy Spirit wants you to do.

*Restore people’s dreams…”Dream Big Dreams*  Speak truth in to the lives of YOUR ministry!  In evangelism…you have to have that desire in your heart to speak positivity into the lives and  hearts of those around you.  It’s not just at big “events”.

Give your heart, soul and mind to the Lord.  To the vision!
