Orange Conference-pt. 2

General Session #2 - Francis Chan

Another passionate message...here are a few highlights and some of my thoughts:
  • With a good TEAM we can grow anything
  • Shouldn't there be a major difference from someone without the Holy Spirit from the ones who are a temple of the Holy Spirit?
  • You can't make someone fall in love with Jesus
  • You can't manipulate the commitment that the Bible and what Jesus calls for.
  • What type of God stuff do you want to see in your life? In the lives of others?
"If Jesus had a church in my community, mine would be bigger." - Francis Chan
  • Because of the commitment that Jesus calls for, many don't follow.
  • Gangs are a better picture of the family of Christ is, than the actual church...(think about that one! Somethings wrong with this picture).
  • God's agenda was for PEOPLE to declare His praises together...PEOPLE, PEOPLE, PEOPLE.
  • Unity in the church will change the world!
  • If you call yourself a Christian, SET AN EXAMPLE! In all you do be an example! Are you just playing christian or are you really a DISCIPLE?
The biggest thing that stood out to me was this question: Is God calling you to start a movement? We've got to do something to reach this generation, it's going to start with a movement!
