Innovate Conference Session - 3 (notes from Jonathon Falwell)

-The outer most parts of the earth can't be found within the walls of our churches. We must start doing ministry outside of the walls of the churches.
-We can't make disciples of all nations if we're only committed to doing ministry within the walls of our churches.

YOU MUST PROTECT YOUR GOD GIVEN VISION FOR MINISTRY:

Your vision for ministry will become a victim if it isn't protected.

Vision can become a victim of pride:
-Our drive to be CONSIDERED a success is the first step to failing at our vision.
-The vision that God gives us is not to make our name famous. It is to make His name famous.
-God called you into ministry to reach people with the Gospel. Nothing more...Nothing less...
-God didn't call you to build a mega church. He called you to do your part in building THE church. The church of Jesus Christ...

Vision can become a victim of worrying what others think:
-When you discover your purpose in life, you will likely discover enemies.
-JUST PLEASE GOD. No one else matters.

Vision can become a victim of being insecure:
-Believe that God can do the impossible IN YOU.
-Do it afraid. Do it convinced that you're incapable. Do it fully dependent upon God.
