Unleash 2008: Perry Noble...the other part
After a couple of break out sessions and lunch, Perry came back for the final session of the day. He said he didn't come to teach--he came to preach. Here's what he preached...
Some of my favorites are...
- "Moses. Led a church of one million. Led them through a relocation process. Greatest pastor ever."
- Deal with your pride and insecurities.
- "One of the most dangerous things God can give a leader or a church is success."
- First thing Moses had to deal with was insecurity.
- Use your staff.
- "God gave Moses his staff." (Chuckle from the crowd.)
- Staff members: "You've never felt the weight that your senior pastor feels. You've never fought the spiritual battles. You have no idea what it's like to receive the criticism. Don't tell me you know what he's going through."
