"Now strengthen my hands." 

Nehemiah 6:9

Consider Your Options

Week 5

Day 29 (The Third BIG Saturday)

A church does not become healthier by doing a project. But the right project, at the right time, for the right reasons, can be a wonderful rallying point. A visible project can narrow your focus, give you a sense of urgency, and create a sense of community.

But projects are not necessarily events. As we’ll see in more detail when we get to the Decision Day in two weeks (Day 36), your project can initiate a change in direction, a change in attitude, or a change in methodology. 

Today’s Big Idea: Brainstorm Project Ideas

Key Verse: Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good (1 Corinthians 12:7).

Thoughts to Consider: No work of God goes forward on great ideas alone. It requires people—people who are passionate, people who work together, people who love the cause, people who are called by God to make a difference. 

Those people have been given gifts from the Holy Spirit—gifts that aren’t meant to be kept to themselves. According to today’s Key Verse and Passage of the Day, the gifts of the Holy Spirit are clearly meant to be used for the sake of the assembled church (“the common good”).
