Managing Projects for Ministry

Session 1: Defining the Nature of Project Management

25

2. We must be excellent, 1 Cor. 10.31 – So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

3. We must be resourceful, Luke 16.1-9 (cf.[8] – The master commended the dishonest manager for his shrewdness. For the sons of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than the sons of light. [9] And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous wealth, so that when it fails they may receive you into the eternal dwellings.) 4. We must persevere, Acts 20.24 – But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.

Prayer and Affirmation to God:

God entrusts us with his resources in order that he might receive all the glory.

Lord, may all we are and all we do, alone and together, be used to bring glory to Your name, honor to Your Son, and advance Your kingdom, in Christ’s name, Amen. 1 Thess. 2.3-4 – For our appeal does not spring from error or impurity or any attempt to deceive, [4] but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not to please man, but to please God who tests our hearts.
