Learning to Seek What Jesus Did

The leadership team of our church met tonight for our monthly meeting. We are reading and discussing together the book written by Jim Putman entitled, Church is a Team Sport.

During our discussion of Chapter 6, which is entitled “A Coach Worth Following: Discovering Our God-Given Purpose” we discussed the following quote from the author: “A winning team is one that reaches the lost and makes disciples who can disciple others. … It starts with taking responsibility not just for winning the lost but for shepherding them too. The pastor can’t do this by himself. Part of his job is to create a shepherding environment where everyone is challenged to shepherd others and win the lost.” (Putman; pages 95-97)

We resolved as a group and I resolved as an individual to no longer be a “number counter” but a “soul chaser.” It is obvious that was what Jesus had as his focus and if I call myself a follower of Christ, then I must commit to the same focus.
