Remind me why are you so committed using media as a part of this ministry will way and I'll tell you I'm sold on the fact that if we're going to fulfill the great commission and of course that's our job as the body of Christ to go into the world to make disciples to baptize people and teach them to observe all things that Christ commanded to do that I am more convinced than ever. It demands that we take a strong fresh look at how to use technology in every other resource so that isn't in other words, we gotta realize we were boomers. I'm a baby boomer born between 46 and 64 that our generation me to and I realize that we were the last generation in American history that was typically raised in church or in some religious training, and we've got three generations under us, and now there's an emerging fourth-generation there still being developed.

There known as generation alpha my first grandchild is an alpha and so I realize that with these three. For generations we've gotta preach the gospel to.

They are not inclined to come to church and hear the gospel if you will, but the vast majority of them are probably going to have to be reached where they are before we can get them into the life of a church so technology is very important to be and that we can reach them with the good news of Jesus Christ. It's what it's all about reaching as many people as we can with the gospel.

Pastor Paul is talking about the importance of partnership with special emphasis being placed on finding the right partners.

Today he takes us once again to the life and times of the apostle Paul, a man who found like-minded believers to help him become all he could be in Christ must join pastor now for today's destined for victory message finding the right poll found new companionship because he and Barnabas could get together on the plan. Sometimes you and the others who have been partners with you cannot continue your partnership because of irreconcilable differences.

Sometimes we try to do this ministry together, but we see this two different ways, and we can't find a way to get on the same policy. Read my lips.

John Mark is not going on this trip and Barnabas. It will blow me and posit what you cannot run some real ought to be glad what you mad about this extension of .1 because you have you had it all straight in your mind. Why you with folk and how you with now get to just be, and I saw you know it's not going work that way you lead people and if all was not working anymore. Find some new ones. I'm not talking numeric full all you will you know they not you married you live with that. You pray you grow you up and make you much more and draw you closer to the Lord, biblical grounds come to make an appointment. In most cases you got to stick with that because you said till death not to misery. So you learn how to take it from misery to you real man now. You may partnership these partners don't work find some that will make sure that what you declare the partnership, that won't work is not because you are being biblically stubborn. See what this realize is that both of them had a legitimate point of view, what was right will will Barnabas said encouragement is what I do. It's part of my gift mix is what I do when I see somebody week I try my best to make all the other hand in his gift mix. He writes to his son to my son, be strong in the Lord, a soldier in the Lord. So they want to please the commanding officer people pretty good, but is not one of my strongest gifts pretty good job. I can relate hold to the apostle Paul might be on my team with some baby grow, and be ready to shape that we must follow his ministry and let me know. Every time please see me the whole period of time in my young ministry seem to me that was a whole. It was as much as it felt as if feels like but if feels like just about every other Sunday he was telling the church what else I didn't do right, but it just feels part of the announcements and okay what the pastor has to be in Rome this week just to see the ministry down and he was quick to let me know. No, but it may cost you called me to ministry and if you call me to work with him before I get to be a senior pastor, which was clear. Part of my calling. Lord help me to learn what I need to learn and grow where I need to grow and shut my mouth when I feel like and help me to prove faithful and seven years later when I was leaving there to come chasing a vision that a crime he is the best assistant pastor. He could ever have eyes out and I was happy that he was happy ministry, so wonderfully quite another thing looking for is a senior pastor called you called me and everything to be what you want to look at me funny message. They only sell three CDs of the people.

Make sure your prospective mate agrees with supports your vision before you get engaged.

I am tired of people spending all of their dating time stimulating their senses instead of examining the other person's vision, values and veracity. All you're doing is impressing each other with stuff that isn't the most important and that's fine. That's what a honeymoon after all. That is the benefits package. We went on a job yes can work with.

I once you talking about that doing the same God wants you to have no sexual relations with another person until you say to that person that God's plan we become so get it right. Come on, somebody got friends with benefits God to understand. We just call when you have a little rough day. It said, and so you can't afford to feed your senses your senses meet today get a load of me in this now plead the blood of the blood of Jesus the Lord God said, my God today exactly what I'm talking about Joseph but yet you all know below, you will be at church about legal this weekend, you need to be focused on right now you need to be focused on examining their vision, their values and their veracity right down veracity.

This is what you don't know what you see yourself operating in ministry is a vocational or volunteer. How do you see your career working for somebody in climbing a ladder or is it being and what have you done to this point. If you haven't had a successful anything.
