So, to help get your 2012 off to a fantastic start we'll be helping you discover your purpose over the next 40 days at Phos Community Church.
Some ways that you can dig into the '40 Days of Purpose' and accelerate your own growth:
1. Pick up a copy of 'The Purpose Driven Life' by Rick Warren and begin to read just one short chapter a day. The chapters are very brief and focused and the author suggests that you only read one a day so that the principles and scriptures he shares can really sink in. It also gives you time to apply the concepts in real life right away.
2. Be at worship each Sunday ready to dig in and learn together. Come with a prayerful, expectant attitude ready to encounter God and do what He asks of you. We will cover 5 purposes that God has for all of us in the weeks ahead. The backbone of your 40 Days of Purpose experience is our Sunday gatherings.
3. Be a part of a Group experience each week at Phos where you'll go further with the material in a warm, friendly environment. Your group will help you make practical application of the material each week. If you don't have a group then please join us at 'Spark Group' each Monday evening of January from 7 to 9 PM over at 4200 [the building]. RSVP to join the group by emailing jeff@phoschurch.com Learn more about Spark Groups here: http://phosnews.blogspot.com/2011/12/spark-groups-beginning-soon.html
4. Find a friend who's traveling with us at Phos and committed to growing through the 40 Days of Purpose series and then spend a little time each week talking about what you are learning and what you will do with what you are learning. In my opinion, this friend on friend effect has the most firepower in helping us grow. I often refer to this style of 'group' as 'The Mentoring Matrix' or your 'Personal Board of Directors'.
5. RSVP for the 'Afternoon of Purpose' coming up on Sunday, January 22. We will custom craft mentoring/coaching to help you grow however you sense you need to!
6. If you're 'stuck' and need a jump start and want to talk with me or someone on the leadership team at Phos just let me know and I'll hook you up! Email me at jeff@phoschurch.com
Praying and working for you to have your best year yet!
