Let me ask you a question. “What would you do differently if you had

complete confidence that God was with you in your decisions?“

Think about that.

In his book, Organic Church, Neil Cole points out that in the 1990’s, Phil

Jackson began building the Chicago Bulls around his best player, Michael

Jordan. Everyone else was evaluated by how they supported Jordan. I

hope you won’t find the analogy offensive, but He goes on to suggest that

our churches should allow Jesus to be the best player on the team and

then set expectations accordingly.

More specifically, here is what Cole says, “Our churches should allow Jesus

to be the best player on the team … Someone may say, ‘Well, of course

we recognize Jesus is on board; it is assumed. We even pray about our

decisions.’ But the real test is if you conduct ministry business expecting

Jesus to carry the load – to carry the team. Or do you practice church as

though Jesus doesn’t need to do anything, and everything is done for Him

instead of by Him? This would be like the Bulls having Jordan on the team

and never passing him the ball! Like leaving Jordan on the end of the

bench to happily cheer on the other team members and tell them how

proud he is of them while they sweat it out on the court. Sadly, that is not

far from the reality. We need to take on the challenges of God’s Kingdom

with confidence that Jesus Himself is on the team… Is Jesus merely the

owner or the coach, or is He also the most valuable player as well? It is

time to pass the ball to Jesus and see what He can do.”

I’ll close with a verse that is often used in an evangelism context, but

remember that it was to a church that Jesus said, “Behold, I stand at

the door and knock; if anyone hears my voice and opens the door,

I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me”

(Rev. 3:20). He still knocks.

In Christ, Everett

► FUSE! Every Sunday morning at 11:10 am in the new building at 7202 Kings Highway!! FUSE is an exciting worship experience with relevant teachings.

► Sunday Morning FUSE Groups meet in the New Building at 10:05 am, right before FUSE.

► A New Series during FUSE: “Breathing Room”: We live our lives so busy and fast-paced that when summer arrives, we bolt. Go on hiatus. Disappear. And we gear up for our next relentless season of marathon-running. But our continued lack of margin increases our stress and shortens our tempers. It makes the years fly by, spent on things that, in the end, we don't even value or love. Instead, we sacrifice the things we do. It can even affect our relationship with God because there's a connection between our willingness to create margin and our faith in Him to fill those gaps. What if we used this summer of rest to prepare ourselves for the upcoming season of chaos?

► Meet at the Beach is back! Every Tuesday at 10:30 am, students are to meet at the new building. We'll walk straight down 73rd Avenue to our tent. Bring a bagged lunch, your Bibles, bathing suits and plenty of sunscreen!

► Fantasy Lake Trip! We’re going the weekend before school starts. Meet at the church at 9am. Sign up with Catherine Meeks ASAP!

► X Fuge at North Greenville University: June 24-29! Sign up NOW! Call Tommy, 222.1080, for all the details.
