100 Days to a Healthier ChurchSample

STEP 4

Implement the Plan

“His divine power has given us everything we need.”

Bringing It All Together

Week 12

The fourth and final step in the 100-Days process is to implement the plan. 

If your project is to launch a new program or different way of doing ministry, this is when you’ll start. If your project involves a big event, this is when that will take place. If you’re cutting back or consolidating ministries, this is when you’ll make those adjustments.

Because there are so many types of projects that a church might launch, there’s little I can tell you about the specific one your church has chosen. But this step is part of the 100-Day plan, not because you need detailed instructions, but to make sure your church actually follows through by accomplishing whatever thing you say you’re going to do. 

Day 78 

Today’s Big Idea: All we need. Only God knows what we really need, so we can trust Him to provide it.

Key Verse: His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness (2 Peter 1:3).

Thoughts to Consider: “His divine power has given us everything we need.” That everything sure covers a lot of territory, doesn’t it? But take a look at the rest of the verse. That power is given for a specific purpose. It’s everything we need for a godly life. The idea that God is a magic genie who will empower and enrich us because we say the right words is profoundly unbiblical. God’s limitless power is to be used for His purpose, not ours.

If you want to live a godly life, you’ll find all the help you need by getting to know Jesus more. It’s “our knowledge of Him” that will give us all we need—in our lives and in our church.
