Exponential: Steve Andrews – Plenary Session 4, “Radical Disciple Making”

Steve Andrews is the founding pastor of Kensington Community Church and director of Vision 20/20.

What do we want to be giving our emerging leaders and church planters that have not been given in the past?

1. Permission to say no.
   • Saying no means you have a crystal clear vision of what you are called to do.
   • Saying no means saying yes to a committed path.
   • New churches falter and die on this principle because they never learn to say no.
2. Go.
   • The people of a church don’t belong to a pastor, they belong to the work of God.
   • We need to challenge our people to go and follow God.
   • We should always be seeing the greatness in others.
   • Go means you release people.
3. No ego.
   • We might train people to perform with excellence, but with they lay down their life?
   • Our mission is to transfer the ‘No Ego’ of Jesus and transfer it to our emerging leaders and church planters.
   • We should live open-handed.
   • What are we saving for? Give it all away.
   • We must not only give away everything in our jars, but our jars should also be broken.
