Developing a Team Model:

In a team, conflicts or performance issues are dealt with as a team:

- Team awareness

- Team involvement- If it affects the team, then the team is included.

- Responsibilities are shared by those who are responsible.

- Conflicts and performances no longer become personal between Coach andindividual leaders.

- Leaders respond better to peer correction. Example: core values, vision, mission of the team.

- Once everyone has had their say and there is no agreement, then the Coach willmake the final decision.

As a team Member I agree to support the team in the following manner:

- To faithfully attend Team meetings and events

- To be honest and open about my faults, failures, opinions, ideologies, and to riskconflict in discussing them.

- To support and validate the opinions and ideologies of all team members even if Idon’t agree with them.

- To support team decisions after dialogue had been completed, even if I disagreewith the final decision.

- To maintain the bond of unity and peace with all team members by promptlyresolving any conflict and offenses with them.

- To model to others what team concepts and principles are all about.

- To forgive myself and others if we fail to fulfill this team covenant agreement.

- To promptly return communications and carry out action steps previously agreedupon.

PASTORAL THEOLOGY

Stephanie Harrison

Moses appoints Leaders: Exodus 18:13 – 27

Moses sat to judge the people – from morning until evening.

When Moses father-in-law saw all that he done to the people he said,

“What is this thing that you are doing to the people?”

“Why do you alone sit, and all the people stand before you from morning untilevening?”

Moses reply was that the people come to require of God. When they have a difficulty,

they come to me.

Jethro said, “The thing you are doing is not good, you and the people will wear away.”

This thing is too much for you.

 You are not able to perform it by yourself.

Jethro gives counsel, and God will be with you.

Stand before God for the people, so you may bring the difficulties to God.

You shall teach them the statues and the laws.

Show them the way in which they must walk.

Show them the work they must do.

He was actually saying:

 _____________ For the people.

 _____________ them the word.

 ______ _____ ___________.

 _________ them the work they must do.

Select able men / Place them to be rulers of thousands, hundreds, fifties, & tens.

8/3/2019 212 Manual

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/212-manual 12/83

Men that fear God

Men of truth

Men that hate covetousness.

Let them judge the people at all times.

The great matters they will bring to you and the small matters they will handlethemselves.

This will make it easier, they will bear the burden.

If you do this:

You will be able to endure,

The people will go to their place of peace.

So Moses chose able men out of Israel.

ABLE MEN:

Bishops, Elders and Deacons

1Timothy 3 Traits of Bishops, Elders and Deacons

1Timothy 4 Be an example to others

 You are Not able to perform this yourself alone:

Application: The Christian life is not easy to live “on your own.” You need people whostand beside you to support you to succeed. That’s why God created the church. Thereare no Lone Rangers in the family of God. We really do need each other. We are a

community, a family of faith, and we all work together, we can accomplish great thingsfor Christ.

1 Corinthians 12 / We are many members yet one body

1 Corinthians 13 / Love is the principle thing in caring

They don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.

Pastoral Care – Giving care as a pastor 

One dimension of small group ministry is to fulfill pastoral care.

PORT: Prayer, Outreach, Relationship, Training.

Jesus Christ is the supreme Shepherd, and thus the Ultimate Pastor .

“Nothing we do or give up for the sake of our calling will ever compare with Jesus’ self giving life and his sacrificial death on the cross.

John 10:11. 14, 16

1 Peter 5:2, 4

Churches and the world will increasingly need under-shepherds who are less like eachother and increasingly more like Jesus, the Chief Shepherd.

Why did the Son of God come to the earth? ______________________________________________________________________  _________________________________________________________ 

Jesus as a Pastor 

His conversation with the Samaritan Woman/treated her as a person.

Told His disciples, follow me; I make you fishermen of men.He brought a healing touch

Page 9 of 15

Page 14: 212 Manual

8/3/2019 212 Manual

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/212-manual 14/83

He taught us how to pray

He taught us how to love our enemies.

He was a story teller / every day life experiences.

He was forgiving.

He was Chief ServantJesus Blessed the little Children, Infants were brought to him (Matt. 19)

Jesus and the Tax collector Luke 19:1-10

He fed the multitude

The woman caught in adultery, he forgave

Raise the dead

Wash Disciples feet

John 15: 12 “Love one another as I have loved you.”

He gave His Life

He went about doing good and healing all that was oppressed of the devil.

He is still making intercession for us.

He continually with the twelve pried their fingers off of their small ideas about God andpeople, and, then, into their empty hands he placed the key’s to God’s Kingdom.

LOOKING UP AND OUT:

We must all consider Jesus as Supreme Pastor of His church. Spotlight Him as thesupreme MODEL of Pastoral Work. How did he accomplish His goals?

Nothing is more freeing and invigorating than looking away from ourselves to the onewho called himself “the good shepherd.” We must as ministers study the four gospels.

What about Jesus’ education:

Christ did not launch into his pastoral ministry by getting the equivalent of a seminaryeducation. His views were not shaped by the academic centers of His day.

Education has its strategic place, but I believe it is not the place many of us think it has.

Page 10 of 15

Page 15: 212 Manual

8/3/2019 212 Manual

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/212-manual 15/83

Do “smarts” ever replace “hearts?”

Education is good, but it is not the platform for pastoral work.

There are benefits to being academically trained.

A respect for revealed truth.

An appreciation for Church History.The discipline for personal study.

An exposure to godly men & women. (A professor once said, “Get to know the teachersand major in a man, not in a subject.” When biblical truth flows from Christ like teachers,lives are profoundly shaped for ministry.)

Note: When “tools” and “skills” usurp matters of the heart, an idolatrous attitude poisonsministry.

BRINGING GOD TO PEOPLE: (PASTORING)

(A Poem from John Frye’s Mother)

I sought to hear the voice of God

And climbed the topmost steeple;

And God declared, “Go down again;

I dwell among the people”.

Simply put, pastoring is to bring God to His people. John 1:14

The apostle Paul – He used the most intimate relational images to describe his ministry-the ministry of a nursing mother and a caring father (1 Thess. 2:7, 11)

Our identity is linked to the type of ministry we will give.How we care for people. Why we care for people. Selfishly or Unselfishly?

Page 11 of 15

Page 16: 212 Manual

8/3/2019 212 Manual

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/212-manual 16/83

How did Jesus grow in His vocational identity? His Hebrew Bible provided the shape of His identity.

We should be conformed to Christ Identity. Romans 8:29

Always remember The Promises of the written Word needs to become the present livingvoice of God, a voice that calls out our deepest identity and equips us for our predestined mission. Jeremiah 1:5 (You are called by name, He is with you He knowsyou)

Always minister out of a ‘healed’ heart not a ‘hurt’ heart. Why?

“Everything falls into place… only after our identity as designed by God is called out inour personal encounter with Him.”

JESUS AND COMPASSION:

People respond to Compassion.

Deep – felt compassion is one of the primary and controlling emotions of pastoralministry. Jesus felt it and, as Chief Shepherd, modeled it for all who would pastor.

Matthew 9:36 the word “Compassion” is a verb meaning, “to feel deep passion for.”Strong emotions.

Example: Jesus heals the leper. Why? To demonstrate that mercy triumphs over  justice, Compassion supersedes command when human life is in jeopardy. (Notice:Jesus supernaturally united this man to God.)

If Christian behavior includes gut – level feelings of mercy, making God’s heart visible,then surely we who are having Christ formed in us must model a radical compassion.

Compassion is more than just preaching. It is moving out from behind the pulpit and intothe lives of harassed and helpless people. Bringing God to people.

Important Facts:

Page 12 of 15

Page 17: 212 Manual

8/3/2019 212 Manual

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/212-manual 17/83

People’s hunger for God is real, and they know when that hunger is being met, not withproclaimed truth about God, but by God Himself through that proclaimed truth.

Pastor - teaching becomes truly effective when revealed truth is honestly communicatedfrom life that is under constant transformation.

The world does not need to see a lot of people devoted to Christ; they need to see Jesus Himself.

Every small group leader needs to be involved in a small worshiping, caring, prayinggroup.

Empowered pastors have a God given inner desire not only to be like Christiancharacter, but also to minister like Christian power through the gifts of the Spirit.

REACH OUT TO VISITORS:

Prayer - surround those going through difficult times; hospital visits, deaths, time of need, etc.

Fellowship times; “In small group” and “outside of the group”

Add spice to you group. Games, outings, pot luck.

Group involvement

SUPERNATURAL MINISTRY OF HELPS

Working With a Supernatural Minister 

I. Moses and the Children of Israel are good examples for us:

a. Exodus 17:8-13. Aaron and Her represented the two most importantministries in the church, Intercessory Prayer and The Ministry of Helps.

b. Exodus 18: 13-21. God set a plan for Moses to follow:

1. “Be to God for the people” pray for them.

2. “Teach them the ordnances and the Laws” the Word of God.

3. “Show them the way they must walk” Be an example

4. “And the work they must do”

II. Ministry of Helps in the New Testament

a. Matthew 14:15-21. Jesus used His disciples in serving the miracles foodto the people. When we are in our place the people will receivesupernatural food! There were twelve baskets of fragments taken up; Godwill always make sure the ministry of helps get their baskets full!

b. Romans 8:26. The Holy Spirit is in the Ministry of Helps. In John 16:7 theHoly Spirit is called the Comforter; the amplified also uses the word“Helper”.

III. God said in Genesis 2:18, “It is not good that the man be alone…” He answer was “Helps”. God has not called any of us to walk alone.

IV. Study Ephesians 4: 1-16.

ENROLLING WITH CHRIST IN THE SCHOOL OF PRAYER

Dr. Mike Harrison

  Lesson #1:

Text: Luke 11:1-4 “Lord, teach us to pray…”

1. This series comes from dissatisfaction in my own prayer life.

2. The lessons will be delivered by a student of prayer not a master.

3. God will, during this study, carry us to new dimensions in prayer.

Why do we need to pray?

#1 – Because God wants us to invite Him to move in our world:

• Genesis 1:26-28; 3:1-15 Authority given / authority lost

• Jeremiah 33:1-3 God’s invitation to us to pray

• James 4:2, 3 “Ye have not because ye ask not!”

• Hebrews 4:14-16 why we can pray boldly?

#2 – Because Jesus prayed:

• He began his ministry with 40 days of prayer (Luke 4:1-19)

• The disciples watched him pray (Luke 11:1)• He withdrew himself and prayed (Luke 5:16)

• “He went up into a mountain apart to pray” (Matt. 14:23)

• He prayed in the garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26:36-46)

***Note how prayer was followed by power!

#3 – Because the Early Church prayed:

• Acts 2:42 “They continued steadfastly… in prayers”

• Acts. 3 The hour of Prayer 

• Acts 4:29-32 Prayed for boldness to share the gospel

• Acts. 12:5-17 Prayed for Peter’s release from prison

• Acts 13:1,2 They prayed and fasted and “The Holy Ghost said”

• The Apostle Paul cited several prayers throughout his Epistles

Page 49: 212 Manual

8/3/2019 212 Manual

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/212-manual 49/83

Read the text: Luke 11:1-4 Enrolling with Christ in the School of Prayer isto respond the way the disciples did: “Lord, teach us to pray”. Jesusanswered their request by giving them the Lord’s Prayer. In this prayer welearn:

1. To experience our relationship with God as Father 

2. To exercise Kingdom authority in the earth

3. How to fulfill the will of God in earth as it is in heaven

4. To enjoy the blessedness of His daily provision

5. To receive forgiveness of our sins and to forgive the sins of others

6. To activate God’s delivering power 

Will you enroll with Christ in the School of prayer?

• Set aside 15 minutes a day to pray• Find an accountability partner 

• Pray with your bible and notebook near to record anything God mayimpress upon your heart to read or do

• Act on God’s revealed will to you

ENROLLING WITH CHRIST IN THE SCHOOL OF PRAYER

Dr. Mike Harrison

Lesson #4:

Text: Luke 11: 1 – 4

• “Our Father” – to WHOM we direct our prayer.

• “Hallowed” – speaks of the NATURE of the one who answers our prayer.

• “Thy Kingdom come” – prays for God’s RULE.

• “Thy Will be done” – submits to His WILL.

***WHEN GOD’S RULES AND HIS WILL IS DONE, WE WILL HAVE

HEAVEN ON EARTH!!!• “Give us this day our daily bread” – asks for God’s provision.

Praying for God’s Provision:

1) Notice it is not the first order of prayer – Praise, authority,

and submission precede provision.

2) Notice the frequency of prayer – “…DAILY…”

3) God’s provision is linked to submission to His Kingdom:

a. Matthew 6: 19 – 33

i. Who do you love?

ii. What are you thinking about?

iii. What are you seeking?

b. Psalm 23: 1 – 6

i. Are you listening to the Great Shepherd?

ii. Are you walking in paths of righteousness?

iii. Provision and blessing are the result of following the

Good Shepherd!4) Find scriptures that promise you what you need.

5) Pray the prayer of faith: Mark 11:24; III John 2 & I John 5:14 &

15; Philippians 4:10 – 19.

ENROLLING WITH CHRIST IN THE SCHOOL OF PRAYER

Dr. Mike Harrison

Lesson #5:

Luke 11: 1 – 4

• “Our Father who art in Heaven hallowed be Thy name, Thykingdom come, Thy will be done” – peace with God.

• “Give us this day our daily bread” – peace with our circumstances.

• “Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors” – peace withourselves and others.

Receiving forgiveness through prayer:

1. II Samuel 11 David & Bathsheba commit adultery, and Davidorders the death of her husband / II Sam. 12: 1 – 4 Nathan theprophet exposes David’s sin / Psalm 51 David’s prayer for forgiveness: David asked for 

• Mercy – not receiving what one deserves

• Cleansing – a clean heart

• Return of God’s presence

• Restoration of joy

• Deliverance from consequences2. I John 1: 6 – 10 We must confess our sin to be forgiven

3. Psalm 32: 1 – 5 Contrasts guilt and forgiveness

Releasing forgiveness to others through prayer:

1. Matthew 6: 9 – 15

2. Mark 11: 24 – 26

3. I John 3: 18 – 23

4. I Peter 3: 6, 7

5. Luke 17: 1 – 6

6. Matthew 18: 21 – 35

7. Matthew 7: 1 – 12
