Notes from Mark Batterson’s talk at wibo…

– We underestimate God, big time.

– “When was the last time you confessed the smallness of your dreams?”

– “Find a watch-tower and get with God.  Seek Him.”

– We start doing ministry out of memory instead of imagination.  You have to avoid that shift.

– It starts in a dream that God dreams in us.

– A mission trip will do more than listening to 52 sermons.

– We expend too much side-ways energy.  There is too much bickering.

– “I’d rather have one God idea than 1000 good ideas.”

– “Dreamer Jesus” -> The Great Commission = The Great Dream.

– Jesus called twelve men, most of whom never traveled more than 35 miles from their home.
