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.
