301 Course Class 1

Introduction FULFILLMENT FRUITFULNESS The Bible says: The pastors are the administrators The people are the ministers My ministry is determined by my shape! Two results of discovering the ministry I’ve been shaped for… FULFILLMENT FRUITFULNESS

The goals of this class: That I will discover my unique design (S.H.A.P.E.) For ministry and commit to develop and use my God-given gifts and abilities in serving God and others through my church family. That I will select and begin serving in the ministry of my church that best expresses what God made me to be. Two types of ministry: My primary ministry: serving where I am gifted. My secondary ministry: serving where I am needed.

What the Bible says about ministry: 1. What is ministry? Definition: (Greek "diakonos" ) – “to serve” 2. We minister in three directions. To the Lord (Acts 13:3) To believers (Hebrews 6:10) To non-believers (Mathew 5:13)

What the Bible says about ministry: 3. We minister to three areas of need. To people’s physical needs. To people's emotional needs. To people's spiritual needs. The purpose of ministry: God wants to use me to HELP THE CHURCH GROW!

The priority of ministry (Why should I be interested?) 1. I've been CREATED for ministry! 2. I've been SAVED for ministry! 3. I've been CALLED into ministry! • I am a CHILD of Jesus Christ! 4. I've been GIFTED for ministry! 5. I've been AUTHORIZED for ministry!

The priority of ministry (Why should I be interested?) 6. I'm COMMANDED to minister! 7. I'm to be EQUIPPED for ministry! 8. The body of Christ NEEDS my ministry! Ministry always functions in the context of the BODY. 9. I am ACCOUNTABLE for my ministry! 10. I will be REWARDED for my ministry! Your ministry is the CENTER of your Christian life.

How to discover my ministry (see Romans 12:1-8) Step 1: Dedicate MY BODY. Step 2: Eliminate DISTRACTIONS. Step 3: Evaluate OUR STRENGTHS. Step 4: Cooperate WITH OTHER BELIEVERS. Step 5: Activate MY GIFTS.

God wants your ministry to be a BLESSING to you, not a BURDEN. Identifying my unique S.H.A.P.E. for ministry: 1. I was SHAPED for a purpose. 2. I am UNIQUE! 3. I am wonderfully COMPLEX! God wants your ministry to be a BLESSING to you, not a BURDEN.

SPIRITUAL GIFTS HEART ABILITIES PERSONALITY EXPERIENCES Identifying my unique S.H.A.P.E. for ministry: SPIRITUAL GIFTS HEART ABILITIES PERSONALITY EXPERIENCES

Real MINISTRY is doing what God made me to do! Identifying my unique S.H.A.P.E. for ministry: What SPIRITUAL experiences have I had? What PAINFUL experiences have I had? What EDUCATIONAL experiences have I had? What MINISTRY experiences have I had? Real MINISTRY is doing what God made me to do! God never wastes a HURT.

301 Course Class 2

Ten truths about spiritual gifts: 1. Only BELIEVERS have spiritual gifts. 2. Every Christian has at least ONE SPIRITUAL gift. 3. No one receives ALL of the gifts. Although everyone SPEAKS with other tongues when they receive the Holy Ghost, not everyone has the GIFT of tongues. 4. No single gift is given to EVERYONE. 5. You can't EARN OR WORK FOR a spiritual gift.

Ten truths about spiritual gifts: 6. The HOLY GHOST decides what gifts I get. The gifts I’m given are PERMANENT. I am to DEVELOP the gifts God gives me. 9. It's a sin to WASTE the gifts God gave me. 10. Using my gifts HONORS God and EXPANDS me.

The purpose of spiritual gifts A. Not for my benefit, but for the benefit of others. B. To produce maturity and harmony in our church family.

The purpose of spiritual gifts Cautions about spiritual gifts Don't confuse gifts with natural talents. Don't confuse gifts with the fruit of the spirit. "Fruit" shows my maturity. "Gifts" show my ministry. Don't confuse gifts with Christian roles. Be aware of the "gift-projection" tendency.

The purpose of spiritual gifts 5. Don't feel my gift makes me superior to others. 6. Realize that using my gifts without love is worthless. 7. Recognize that I have both a primary and a secondary ministry in my church: My primary ministry commitment should be in the area where I am gifted. My secondary ministry includes serving in any other area of the body where I am needed.

301 Course Class 3

Monitoring my heartbeat My heart determines... Why I SAY the things I do Why I FEEL the way I do Why I ACT the way I do MY HEART IS THE REAL ME! I do God's will and serve God's purpose by letting my heartbeat motivate me for MINISTRY! The key to understanding your heartbeat is to look at your past SUCCESSES.

Plugging-in your personality When you tried to do something that was not natural to you... 1. You felt uncomfortable. 2. It took extra time and effort. 3. You still did a lousy job.

301 Course Class 4

We believe... About ministry Ministry is the heart of the Christian life (Mathew 20:28) Function follows form in ministry. How God made me determines what He intends for me to do. God has uniquely shaped each individual for a specific ministry. God has given all His children gifts that can be developed and used in ministry. Everyone is a "10" in some area. Everyone has something to offer. Developing and using your gifts is an act of good stewardship and service. The evidence of the right match between my "shape" and my ministry is fulfillment and results .

We believe... About the body of Christ The church is to operate on the basis of spiritual gifts, rather than elected offices. We do not elect people to ministries. "a man's gift makes room for him." Proverbs 18:16 (nas) The church is a family, not a business, an organism, not an organization. Therefore we streamline the structure in order to maximize ministry and minimize maintenance. We don't bury ministries under a bunch of procedures. The greater good of the whole body must always take priority over the needs of any single ministry. There is no place for turfism in God's family.

We believe... About the role of pastor and administrators The objective of the ministry development center is to MOBILIZE and EQUIP an army of ministers who are maximizing their unique gifts, hearts, abilities, personalities, and experiences in a meaningful place of service through our church.

We believe... About accountability Everything rises or falls on LEADERSHIP. No ministry can exceed the commitment of those leading it.

We believe... About training Every leader is a LEARNER. The moment you stop learning, you stop leading.

We believe... On diversity of ministry Ministries have seasons. If a ministry isn't meeting a need anymore, we will give it a decent burial. There are no sacred cows! Your primary ministry commitment should be in the area where you're gifted. Your secondary ministry includes serving in any other area of the body where you are needed.

We expect excellence in ministry, Excellence is doing your best. We believe... About performance We expect excellence in ministry, not perfection. Excellence is doing your best. God deserves our best.
