LEADERSHIP NOTES #3

Metro Christian Ministries Leadership Notes #3

We Are No Longer In The Information Age, But In The Transformation Age.

In The Transformation Age, What People Want And Respond To Is

 Trust, Simplicity And Results

The way that you have success in the Transformation Age is recognizing that what people want is no longer based on information and data you provide them with.

What people want and respond to today is someone they can trust –  a Trusted Authority in a given market place or ministry.

They want that Trusted Authority to simplify their problem in a way that demonstrates they’re truly understood and concerned for.

And finally, they need to believe they’ll get the desired results (or transformation) if they invest themselves in what the Trusted Authority has to offer.

In today’s world of too much information, people are looking for a short cut to get the transformation they want and need.

Your job as an entrepreneur is to become the Trusted Authority they seek, and to deliver to them the transformation they’re most looking for. 

Your job as a ministry leader is to be the Trusted Authority that God has called you be, and to guide them to the transformation they need! Which is only found in Christ Jesus.

Note* I set out to journal marketing notes for MCTV; however I soon discovered that there is a principal here, which Jesus taught and we in ministry sometimes do not maintain in the forefront of our minds. That is (1) Be the person whom God called you to be. (2) Teach and minister the simplicity of the Gospel, knowing and understanding the pain which people are undergoing. (3) Guide them to Jesus which will bring a transformation to their lives and remove their pain and replace it with the joy of salvation.

A Change is Coming!

Despite the times of of social economic decay, torrential storms, earthquakes, and hurricanes... we are still here.


In fact within our city there are between 800-900 Christian congregations! Why? Because we are needed! While other cities enjoy a somewhat better “social economic” status, they have been devastated with many disasters... not Newark.


Could it be because our city was founded to
be nearly as possible a Kingdom of God here on earth? And with that said we could easily
understand why Satan seems to be battling Newark so hard. Poverty, Depression, Crime, Corruption, Murder, Abortion, Despair, Hopelessness, Possession, and Oppression seem visible at every glance; yet few of the disasters which have affected other cities have touched us. God has spared us from the natural disasters because of the spiritual warfare we are engaged in.


I am convinced that the reason why Newark has an inordinate amount of congregations is because God in his infinite wisdom knows that Newark is facing and inordinate amount of attacks.


And like Job; going through, and being “considered” by Satan, God has “held us up”, greatly poured out his spirit, and will see us have the victory over Satan and his attacks, that God may get the glory!


Transformation Newark is coming! If we, like Job stand on our faith, hold to the doctrine of the Apostles and remember that we are not individuals but we are members of a body. We are the body of Christ called to work together. We are the Church which the gates of Hell shall not prevail against. And when we are on one accord there is nothing which we attempt to do that shall be restrained from us. One Body-One Faith- One Baptism-One God and Father of us all. And in this city we are The Church At Newark!


So let us work together for the building up of the kingdom as one which is a good thing that God has planted in Newark.


In Faith, Pastor Rick
