In this episode we discuss...

• are the demands placed on you and your schedule eating your lunch? If so, it’s time to take them back!
  • 4 Ways Ministry Can Eat Your Lunch:
    1. You are unorganized.
    2. You allow the choices of others to control you.
       • We're not saying we don’t sacrifice to help others.
       • We're not saying we only help those who have done everything right.
       •  We are saying that you should not create an environment where people rely on you for things they should not be relying on others for like:
         • Sharing the gospel with a friend who expressed interest.
         • Being their regular ride to church.
         • Calling you with daily concerns that should be going to the LORD.
         • Doing all the eldering, etc.
    3. Being a people pleaser.
    4. Doing instead of equipping.
  • 3 Ways to Avoid Having Your Lunch Eaten:
    1. Romans 12:1-2
       • Renew your mind!
    2. Ephesians 4:12
       • Equip the SAINTS for the work of ministry!
    3. 1 Corinthians 2:2-3
       • Know nothing except Christ and Him crucified!
