Dreams | Bryan McGee: Carpe Diem Coram Deo

If money were no object I would __________

Today, we began our first annual staff planning breakaway. We will finish up tomorrow by having significantly planned out 2009 for ROCK Church. Yeah, that’s right… 2009 strategically blocked 2.5 months before it even begins. I’ll write more over the next few days about how we are going about this. It was incredible praying and brainstorming as a team who loves God, His vision, our city and each other.

I sent everyone away with 2 pieces of homework for tomorrow:

If you could preach three messages or series next year, what would they be?
If money were no object, what would you do?

Why not take a few minutes and dream with us. Leave me a comment and answer one or both of these questions.

D + P = S

As I was sitting in my office studying, praying and dreaming something came to me.

Dreams + Plans = Success

Dream – Plans = Failure

Discuss among your selves…

Leadership Transition

Today made probably the most historic announcement in the history of our church as dad shared what is next for our church.

On August 31st, we will celebrate the 20th anniversary of The ROCK. On that day, Pastor Ron and our elders will set me as the new senior pastor of this incredible church. Jennifer and I are so very humbled at the thought of trying to step in to mom and dad’s shoes.

I am very thankful that we did not announce that they are leaving The ROCK, our ministry team or Wilmington. In fact, they will still be central to what God has for us. Pastors Ron and Norma McGee will remain the founding pastors and spiritual Nana and Papa of our church. They have set in their hearts to not only cheer on the next generation, but to set their hands to see us succeed as well.

God has been increasing my vision for this ministry. Thank you to everyone who believes in the God given vision, direction and leadership at The ROCK.

If you have been on the fence about whether you are with us, now is the time to decide. Don’t sit back with a wait and see attitude. Jump in! Get your hands dirty making the dream come alive. We will never see our city changed by the love of God by just waiting. Let’s get to it.
