Change that today, find out what God's word says about how we should be when it comes to being Action Figures http://www.netminister.net/sg/COL - Action.pdf Thu, 21 Feb 2012 10:35:55 GMT Jared Coker Turning the Crap of Life into the Fruit of the Spirit - Baggage Just as before a trip you pack up the things you need, some of us have packed up things from the past that we think we need, but we do not. Baggage is the left over reminents of past events in our lives that cause us to point not to the future, but to blame the past. What does the bible say? Can it help? YES http://www.netminister.net/sg/COL - Baggage.pdf Mon, 25 Nov 2011 10:35:55 GMT Jared Coker Turning the Crap of Life into the Fruit of the Spirit - Pressure Take a look at the signs of those protesting. They always have at least one that says something in someway or another is unfair. How often in life are they right? How often are you sure that someone is being unfair to you? What do you do about it? And is there a biblical response? Mon, 26 Oct 2011 10:35:55 GMT Jared Coker Turning the Crap of Life into the Fruit of the Spirit - Pressure Work, Family, Social Engagements, all of them present unique pressures that we have to deal with on a daily basis. Are you prepared for how to deal with Pressure? And would you ever expect that Pressure might be a good thing for you? http://www.netminister.net/sg/COL - Pressure.pdf Mon, 22 Sep 2011 10:35:55 GMT Jared Coker What is the most valuable thing you own? Is it valuable to everyone or just you? Why? When you make this mistake in your church, you are assured of failure. Nothing you do will fix it, but you can avoid it, if you want to. http://www.netminister.net/cm/Session 10.mp3 00:20:22 Mon, 04 Aug 2011 10:35:55 GMT Jared Coker This job would be easy if it wasn't for people? Right? People are the problem. Face it they have individual wants and desires which always get into the way. How can a leader put the problem of people into a proper way to increase the outreach of the church? Can it be done in a way that would require you not to have to confront? What are the end all solutions? And how can we make them a part of our effort? http://www.netminister.net/cm/Session 9.mp3 00:29:54 Mon, 04 Aug 2011 10:35:55 GMT Jared Coker How we communicate is as important as what we communicate. But so often, we don't realize that even when we don't talk, we are saying something. Perception is reality. That is the fact that we have to deal with in life. The way we are perceived is the way we are to the person outside of our church. Do you know how you are perceived and are you willing to deal with that perception? Or do you continue to ignore it hoping to make it go away? How is that working? http://www.netminister.net/cm/Session 8.mp3 00:20:38 Mon, 04 Aug 2011 10:35:55 GMT Jared Coker Rules are a part of life, but are they suppose to take priority over our relationships? When you try to tell someone not to do something, isn't it a lot easier to tell them as a friend then to try to beat it into them? Seems that most people thing that the rules are meant to protect us from harm, but in truth many protect us from relationships with others. That keeps us from getting to know people, finding new friends and being mature together. What is stopping relationships? http://www.netminister.net/cm/Session 7.mp3 00:21:18 Mon, 04 Aug 2011 10:35:55 GMT Jared Coker It all starts where you lay down your efforts. Growth starts when we decide as a church that the priority of the church will not be ourseleves. The bible tells us that we do the work, provide the feed and the water, but ultimately God provides the harvest. Such is the case in church growth. But before we can even consider starting that, we have to be willing to know that the old ways worked then, but new ways are needed now. Not the foundation of change, but the end result of doing the right things. http://www.netminister.net/cm/Session 6.mp3 00:21:18 Mon, 04 Aug 2011 10:35:55 GMT Jared Coker Strongholds are the things we put up in our life to keep the world out, even Christ out of our lives, but we do them in our church the same way. Everything about church revolves around one person, but that person is not you. It is Jesus Christ. Anything else, even in the smallest manner takes away from His glory and assures you of one thing: that He is not going to bless your church in any way, shape, form or fashion. After all, He is a jealous God. http://www.netminister.net/cm/Session 5.mp3 00:20:40 Mon, 04 Aug 2011 10:35:55 GMT Jared Coker Do you know the reasons behind the way things are in your church? So often churches are split over the simpliest of reasons. Mostly because people are unaware of their own history, the reasons behind the way things are. Because of this ignorance, we fight over simple things never meant to be fought over, but were just products of their time. http://www.netminister.net/cm/Session 4.mp3 00:20:17 Mon, 04 Aug 2011 10:35:55 GMT Jared Coker Do people feel welcome at your church? Are you sure? Walk into a church, pass the welcome center, past the deacons and sit down with no one saying a word to you. It isn't as difficult as you might think, in fact it is the general way we make people "feel" welcome. http://www.netminister.net/cm/Session 3.mp3 00:20:16 Mon, 04 Aug 2011 10:35:55 GMT Jared Coker Planning and Purpose are the basis for your Missions and Values Statements Not having a plan is a great way to ensure you fail in life. But the same principle operates in church life. Being able to know what to plan for, how to allocate resources and utlimately have to make a different all are part of what makes up a great mission and values - and ultimately what tells how suceessful your ministry is going to be. http://www.netminister.net/cm/Session 2.mp3 00:19:57 Mon, 04 Aug 2011 10:35:55 GMT Jared Coker Turning the Crap of Life into the Fruit of the Spirit - Cynicism Cynicism, it is everywhere. From politicians to preachers, everyone sees reasons to be cynical. The real question is, should we be? They are doing things for themselves without thinking of others, doesn't that make it okay to be cynical? Mon, 19 Aug 2011 10:35:55 GMT Jared Coker Turning the Crap of Life into the Fruit of the Spirit - Our Biggest Mistake It is every person's worse experience, doing something so monumentally stupid that we wonder how on earth we could have messed it up. And yet we did. What is the biggest mistake we make as believers? Mon, 01 Aug 2011 10:35:55 GMT Jared Coker If just teaching Jesus without telling anyone wasn't enough in the biblical times, why would it be today? Why don't people come to church? What is it that is keeping them away? How can I reach those people? If all you do it preach Jesus and think that is enough, then you are mistaken. While Christ is enough to save you, in the world today, even in the biblical world - people told others about Jesus. Today we hide inside our brick churches and wonder aloud - proclaiming why others are going to hell. It can be different. http://www.netminister.net/cm/Session 1.mp3 00:20:21 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 10:35:55 GMT Netminister A study of attendance trends in Etowah County Alabama.

It is not that you have to, it is that you get to. You get to do what has to be done, but with a twist Mon, 22 Jun 2011 10:35:55 GMT Jared Coker Journey Through James: The Key To Dealing with People Importance is never as important as you think.

Mon, 08 Jun 2011 10:35:55 GMT Jared Coker What does the bible say about Settling Have you ever been happy when you have settled for something you really didnt want? You wanted something a lot better but because of outside circumstances you just took what you could get, were you happy? Is that what God wants for you?
