Shepherding
Mark 6:30-44
- Employees must have a reason to look forward to a completion of a project.
- Must pause to experience the thrill of victory otherwise we will squeeze the joy right our of lives
- We will get burned if we do not remind ourselves to rest
- When we are exhausted our performance in all areas of our lives suffer. (point of diminishing returns)
Work Ethic
- Important causes are worthy of extreme levels of effort
- We are to go the extra mile - Matthew 5:41
Crowd Appeal
- Jesus displayed urgency and charisma when he spoke.
- People did not want to miss out on anything he might say or do.
Visible Sincerity
- Meet the crowd’s need for physical and spiritual food - needs of the whole person
- Meet other’s need without asking anything in return
- Concerned with how people fared after this life and not just in this life
- If we are concern more with what we will get ourselves we probably won’t have much of an impact
