CHECK YOUR REFORMATION LENSES

All leaders create a culture that should, ideally, maintain the group’s vision or purpose and promote integrity within all participants.  Is the culture you are creating accomplishing these two biblically-based goals?

After viewing the video, answer these few questions to evaluate your reformation lens:

1. In Matthew 16:14-19, Jesus appointed His disciples to carry the responsibility of stewarding His Kingdom. He had been training them to do the work in the same way He had been doing the work of the Father. The transfer of the authority indicated that Jesus’ disciples would be able to continue Jesus’ work. This pattern of training before promotion is a vital aspect in business and within any team structure. In what ways do you ensure that those in your team are ready to handle new levels of responsibility?
   
2. Jesus chose to label His assembled followers as the church (based upon the Greek word ekklesia) and not as a synagogue (based upon the Greek word synogoge). Both words have the meaning of a gathering or an assembly, but the Greek for both words indicates that a synagogue is the gathering itself, but ekklesia has the focus of an action taken by the gathering. The action to be taken by the ekklesia was binding (not allowing or refusing access) and loosing (allowing or granting access). The ekklesia has a legislative function in Kingdom governance. When you give authority to those within your team, you are giving them authority to set and/or enforce the rules of your organization. Do you see this principle worked out in your team and do you deliberately function out of this concept defined within the ekklesia?
   
3. In the Matthew 16 passage, Jesus gave His disciples authority to bind and loose and promised that He (and that heaven) would support their decisions. In your role as leader of your team or business, do you support the choices and actions of those you have appointed and given stewardship? How do you implement that which your team members have bound or loosed?

NEED HELP ANSWERING YOUR QUESTIONS?
​CONSIDER MENTORSHIP!

Did the above questions help you see yourself with more clarity or was your view a little blurry?  If you are unsure and unclear, perhaps I could help you apply reformation lenses in order that you can more deliberately reform your world according to biblical patterns. 

 I am hosting a monthly mentorship call in which I will go into more details about each question.  I will response to your questions and help you discover how and where to apply reformation truths.
