Finding His Will for Your Life Begins Here:
Sub-mitting your mission to His mission is the key to discovering your mission. Study Proverbs 3:5-6.
Thanks Rick!!! Wow, today was powerful....
Just got to spend the day with one of the greatest men I know, Rick Howerton. He gave me some fantastic ideas on how we can take people to the next level in their relationship with Jesus. He's a fantastic coach for me and his work in my life will overflow into many others. Reminds me of the power of having an 'A Team' [ aka, Personal Board of Directors' ] around me all the time to mentor me and help me grow. It's also known as 'Discipleship' and it's the path to grow as a Christ follower. Excited about the road ahead with Phos Community Church learning how to build disciples one person at a time.
Stoked!

Our Mission: The Phos Community Church Score Card
Just thought I'd send you this photo reminder about why we do what we do at Phos Community Church. This is taped on the wall of my study so as I prepare messages, work with key leaders to plan mission engagements and other worship experiences I think about this scorecard. You can 'get this' if you'll think in terms of helping people grow up to become vibrant reproducing children of our great Father-God-King. Remember Jesus stating that his mission was to set the captives free and proclaim the year of the Lord's favor. That's our rescue mission, too. 
Also remember Jesus commission to His followers to GO and make disciples and to teach them everything Jesus said and then to baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. [ Matthew 28:20 ]
The mission of the church is to be in 'sub-mission' to His mission as His body in motion here on earth.
A few other definitions may help:
POWs and MIAs are those who are being held by our arch enemy or who may have chosen to live away from a relationship with Jesus.
To be clear we wanted to launch a church that un-churched people would find inviting and beneficial. We still work hard to do that! That's our primary mission. The church is the only social organization that exists for the benefit of those we haven't met yet!
To get 'BIG' is to enjoy all the features and benefits and rights and responsibilities you have as a Dearly Loved Child Of God.
GOING TOGETHER is a core key value for us because we know that when you Go that you'll grow! We believe to follow Jesus is to go and do with your hands and feet. We aren't content to let you spectate - we want you to participate. We want to see you follow Jesus in a way that gets your hands and feet going along with your head and heart. I'd add one more aspect if I was revising the score card and that would be 'Mission at One Degree' or M1D. It's the idea that whenever you live, work and breathe is your primary place to be on Mission with God as His Ambassador. Dive Deeper Into the Adventure Ahead with us at Phos Community Church.
Godspeed,

The Nehemiah Pattern -- Finding in Doing the Will of God When there are NO Angels, No burning bushes, And, no Pressing Reason to Leave your Comfort Bubble!
Most of us struggle to find and do the will of God because we are waiting for magic sky writing by jumbo jets or sea turtles carving messages from God into the sand on the seashore. But, for most of us we never get those BIG signs. Most of us get hunches and notions and whispers at best. And, Nehemiah had pain & prayers & a post that providentially propelled him into the center of God's Plan. For most of us the Nehemiah Pattern is how God will work with us.
Study this pattern and you'll begin to learn a ton! Be sure to work through the questions that are at the end of the slide set and if you do you just may get the BIG WORD from God that you've been hoping would fall out of your next fortune cookie! Also, be sure to check out the sermon that will be posted over at PhosChurch.com in a few days because I'll break the whole thing down in a way that will be even more beneficial.

Under-focus Leads to Over-Work
When we know exactly where we are going and exactly the type of person we want to become we can relax and enjoy the journey. When we are fuzzy or under-focused related to our purpose on this planet then we will over-work and expend ourselves in way too many directions to make a difference. A little more work on who we want to be and become and a little less spinning of the wheels will go a long way for you in 2013. Rick Warren says that if you want your life to have meaning then focus it like a laser.
What to Wear on Winter Bike Ride
 |
| This is my 'kit' for Winter Riding at about 35 Degrees Farenheit |
If you wanna do some winter riding here's the cost effective set-up I use.
The shoes, gloves and helmet are pretty well standard gear.
The shoes, gloves and helmet are pretty well standard gear.
I wore two layers on my legs and two layers under my shoes. I wore three layers up top and I wore a head sweats cap and wrap around ear muffs under my helmet. I also wore yellow lens glasses to increase my ability to see in low light situations since I was riding near dusk.
For my legs I chose to overdress just a bit so that my knees would stay relatively warm. This is because knees have poor circulation to begin with and yet I'm asking a lot from them on a ride, so a little extra protection from the wind helps get their temp up a bit and increases blood flow rather than shutting it down in extreme cold conditions. So, I wore a pair of riding shorts with leg warmers and riding socks covered with riding 'boots' under my shoes. I also wore another black base layer that would normally be worn under jeans as the top layer over the riding shorts & leg warmers. This set up worked well and I was never over-heated although before I took off I wondered.... The nice thing about the leg warmers is that they are relatively easy to remove and pack away if you have an expandable seat bag or equivalent.
Up top I wore a thin base layer covered by a little thicker Costco brand base layer under a highly reflective Pearl Izumi wind jacket.
I'm sure that I was totally non-aero and I certainly wasn't riding for speed today. Just the joy of being out and enjoying the crisp cold air and being alive!
BTW, you'll notice my bottles and couple of drink mixes that I'm using. The first is a Sustain Sports Drink mix that tastes great and delivers a fast acting wallop of minerals to prevent cramping and keep me riding strong. The other mix is called 'Activate C' and is a Vitamin C booster to help my body fight off the 'bugs' of winter that come calling, especially when you expose yourself to extreme conditions. Both of these are available from my fantastic wife, Julie. Drop me an email if you wanna know more about Sustain or Activate C.
I just enjoy being OUTSIDE on the bike a ton more than being indoors on the trainer or on a spinner at the Y. I'm not against those things at all and I'll be doing some of both in the weeks ahead when it's below freezing or when there is ice on the roads.
Hope this gives you some ideas of how to dress and fuel to enjoy winter riding!
Peace,
Jeff
