Called to pursue excellence. Don't settle for mediocrity. My desire is to pursue Excellence Because I want to be the best/successful for the Lord. 1. Be a visionary in God: (proverbs 29:18)- vision has nothing to do with your past. If you just settle for what is, your not a leader. John 5:19 - future directions are more important than pass success or failures. Going forward in Jesus- (Hebrews 12:2) 2.God doesn't want us to be distracted. Stay focused. (Phil 3:13-14) PRESS!! 3. You gotta have a support system. (Hebrews 10:25) we are not called into this by ourself. This is a family church. We need to help people! Acts 13:2 - Phil 4:8- Proverbs 23:7- To be successful I have to think that I am successful. 4. Be positive!
