The Power Of Intentionality

There is power in intentionality. Jack Welch is the former CEO of General Electric. By almost anyone’s standard he was one of the world’s most productive leaders. When being interviewed by Katie Couric on NBC’s “Today Show” he made this point. While speaking of communication breakdowns in the workplace he said the main thing everyone wants to know is “Where are we headed?” Both comfort and confidence is present when people know where we are going. We must be intentional about the direction of our church. We cannot afford to be like the jet pilot that got lost. He radioed in “I don’t know where we are going but we are making great time!” Many churches are like that, moving from here to there with no real sense of direction. Some pastors change directions after every church growth seminar. Connecting Points focuses on the purpose of the church and sets sail with intentionality. Everything we do is based on connecting people with God and each other. This is what we are about. This is what we are trying to do. This is where we are going. Suddenly we are not wandering to and fro, hoping to get a good sermon or start a good program. We become intentional. Every sermon is designed to help us get where we are going. Every program is intentionally put together in a way that will help us connect people with God and each other. We know where we are going and Connecting Points will help us get there. In order to be productive we must be intentional.
