Teamwork

Al Wood

Al says he has been a part of some kind of team all his life, and he loves it. When Al first came to MorningStar, he served the church as part of a team. The coach on a basketball team has to define everyone's role; and wherever each person's place is on the team, they have to do their part or the team will fall apart. Everyone on a team needs to understand the big picture of what the team is supposed to do. He continues sharing important principles of team work.



Don't Limit the Lord God of Israel

Ten-Minute Speaker – Tim Flachman: Tim and his wife share encouragement to the audience to serve the Lord in the marketplace. She tells us that we need to operate in faith and wisdom to be successful in business. Finally, they pray blessings over the business people in the audience to be salt and light.

Tom Hardiman – Don’t Limit the Holy One of Israel: During the season when Israel was in the wilderness, they didn’t have the faith to do what God wanted them to do. They limited God, and He wasn’t pleased with that.

He Who Has Ears, Let Him Hear

Tom tells us if we know what's in Jesus's heart, we can know more about what He's doing. In Matthew 5, when He preaches the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus was changing attitudes from the Old Testament and enlarging some of the principles. He addresses some of the concepts faced during that day. Jesus illustrates a life of stability in times of difficulty by building our house on the rock, not sand. He appeals to people from His care and concern for them, encouraging them to order their lives on the principles He's teaching.
