Jesus Ministry Luke 8-10

• LK 81 After this, Jesus traveled about from one
  town and village to another, proclaiming the good
  news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with
  him, 2 and also some women who had been cured of
  evil spirits and diseases

4

• LK 91 When Jesus had called the Twelve together,
  he gave them power and authority to drive out all
  demons and to cure diseases, 2 and he sent them
  out to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the
  sick.

5

• LK 101 After this the Lord appointed seventy-two
  others and sent them two by two ahead of him to
  every town and place where he was about to go.

6

• 2 He told them, "The harvest is plentiful, but
  the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest,
  therefore, to send out workers into his harvest
  field.

7

• 109 Heal the sick who are there and tell them,
  The kingdom of God is near you.

8

• LK 1017 The seventy-two returned with joy and
  said, "Lord, even the demons submit to us in your
  name."

Jesus Pattern Mark 1-6

• I do, they watch
• They do, I watch
• They multiply

10
Jesus our Model I do

• MK 132 That evening after sunset the people
  brought to Jesus all the sick and
  demon-possessed. 33 The whole town gathered at
  the door, 34 and Jesus healed many who had
  various diseases. He also drove out many demons,
  but he would not let the demons speak because
  they knew who he was.

11
Jesus our Model We do

• Mark 314 He appointed twelve--designating them
  apostles --that they might be with him and that
  he might send them out to preach 15 and to have
  authority to drive out demons.

12
Jesus our Model You do

• MK 612 They went out and preached that people
  should repent. 13 They drove out many demons and
  anointed many sick people with oil and healed
  them.

Philosophic Foundations

• Moving away from active pastors and passive
  congregations

  congregations
• Moving from addition to multiplication

15
Addition to Multiplication

  leaders

16
Staffing Keys

• Employ pastors who can multiply ministries
  (leaders and groups)
• Evaluate pastors on their ability to be do
  ministry and multiply ministries
• A key indicator of ministry health (besides PE)
  is of lay leaders

17
Application Point

• How many people are in your congregation (1.5 x
  attendance)
• How many people in your congregation are involved
  in ministry (Goal 50-75)

  leading/pastoring roles (Goal 10-25)

18
Application Example

• Attendance 120
• Congregation 180
• Involved in ministry (adults and teens) 90-135
