E mpowering!

C all of the Lord – His Kingdom let’s seek first!
A ll the nations – go and make disciples!
L et His salvation - eternal life bring
L ift up His Name & glorify!


tune of "Hear the Kingdom's Call"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The story behind the song (by Keith, Kristyn & Stuart):

‘We wanted to write a song that we could send people out with at the end of a service, one that would be a call to go out confidently and positively as salt and light to the world. Verse one considers how we respond first and foremost to the cross, coming into the Kingdom of Christ and seeking to praise Him. Verse two was inspired by the Sermon on the Mount, where Christ teaches what it means to be children of the Kingdom – loving righteousness and justice, walking in humility, with mercy and letting His light shine through us. Verse three reminds us of our call to declare the Gospel and the Kingdom to the lost. The chorus is our response to follow and ultimately, in all we do – helping the sick, feeding the hungry, working for justice, explaining the faith – our aim is to proclaim salvation in Jesus’ name’.


HEAR THE CALL OF THE KINGDOM

Lift your eyes to the King
Let His song rise within you
As a fragrant offering
Of how God rich in mercy
Came in Christ to redeem
All who trust in His unfailing grace

Hear the call of the Kingdom
To be children of light
With the mercy of heaven
The humility of Christ
Walking justly before Him
Loving all that is right
That the life of Christ may shine through us

King of Heaven we will answer the call
We will follow bringing hope to the world
Filled with passion filled with power to proclaim
Salvation in Jesus' name

Hear the call of the Kingdom
To reach out to the lost
With the Father's compassion
In the wonder of the cross
Bringing peace and forgiveness
And a hope yet to come
Let the nations put their trust in Him

There is a hope - acrostic

There is a hope
Stuart Townend / Mark Edwards


Key: C
Tempo: slow

THERE IS A HOPE that burns within my heart,
That gives me strength for every passing day;
A glimpse of glory now revealed in meagre part,
Yet drives all doubt away:
I stand in Christ, with sins forgiven;
And Christ in me, the hope of heaven!
My highest calling and my deepest joy,
To make His will my home.

There is a hope that lifts my weary head,
A consolation strong against despair,
That when the world has plunged me in its deepest pit,
I find the Saviour there!
Through present sufferings, future's fear,
He whispers 'courage' in my ear.
For I am safe in everlasting arms,
And they will lead me home.

There is a hope that stands the test of time,
That lifts my eyes beyond the beckoning grave,
To see the matchless beauty of a day divine
When I behold His face!
When sufferings cease and sorrows die,
And every longing satisfied.
Then joy unspeakable will flood my soul,
For I am truly home.

GIFTED FOR LEADERSHIP


Biblical truth—We always look at leadership issues through a biblical lens.

Reality—We are realistic about the issues, struggles, challenges, opportunities, and joys women leaders face.

Honesty—We are committed to addressing reality with honesty and without apology.

Redemption
—We express ourselves without bitterness. When speaking from personal pain, we point to hope and healing—even if our healing process is incomplete. This is not a forum for mere arguments or expressions of personal anguish.

Love—We care about women in leadership and want to make personal connections with them.

Equipping
—We help women get better, and more confident, in what they do.

Encouragement
—We want women to feel good about the gifts God has given them, and we help them see how they can use those gifts. We love and root for the church and its people.

Challenge
—We challenge women to use their leadership gifts, pursue spiritual growth, and think deeply.

Unity—We help women rise above the arguments and judgments about where they should lead. Instead, we agree that we are all obligated to use our gifts in the ways God has called us to do so.

In Christ Alone lyrics

IN CHRIST ALONE

In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
'Til on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
[ Lyrics found at www.mp3lyrics.org/B3ll ]
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
'til He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand

No more let sins and sorrows grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make His blessings flow
Far as the curse is found,
Far as the curse is found,
Far as, far as, the curse is found.

He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders, wonders, of His love.
Words: Isaac Watts, 1719
Music: Lowell Mason, 1848

Originally named "Antioch," Mason's original score said "from George Frederick Handel."
The tune is named after the city of Antioch, Syria, where believers were first called "Christians";
(Acts 11:26).

Our Iceberg Is Melting is a simple fable about doing well in an ever-changing world. Based on the award-winning work of Harvard's John Kotter, it is a story that has been used to help thousands of people and organizations.

The fable is about a penguin colony in Antarctica. A group of beautiful emperor penguins live as they have for many years. Then one curious bird discovers a potentially devastating problem threatening their home and pretty much no one listens to him.

The characters in the story, Fred, Alice, Louis, Buddy, the Professor, and NoNo, are like people we recognize — even ourselves. Their tale is one of resistance to change and heroic action, seemingly intractable obstacles and the most clever tactics for dealing with those obstacles. It's a story that is occurring in different forms all around us today — but the penguins handle the very real challenges a great deal better than most of us.

Our Iceberg Is Melting is based on pioneering work that shows how Eight Steps produce needed change in any sort of group. It's a story that can be enjoyed by anyone while at the same time providing invaluable guidance for a world that just keeps moving faster and faster.


===========================================================

What people are saying about
Our Iceberg Is Melting

"Whether you work in a business or the business of life, everyone from CEOs to high school students can gain from what they take from this story."
—from the foreword by Spencer Johnson, M.D., author of Who Moved My Cheese?

"…companies should buy a copy for everyone from the CEO to the stock clerk."
—Michelle Archer, USA Today

"I ordered and distributed sixty copies, evaluated its effect on our change effort, and then ordered five hundred more…. This is a gem."
—Heidi King, Department of Defense

"The penguins in this book will not only steal your heart, they'll make you a smarter person."
—Mary Tyler Moore, actress, producer, director, and Academy Award nominee

"To prepare for our Global Leadership Meeting, our management team read Our Iceberg Is Melting. It really helped us understand how we can successfully make the changes we need to make, what a positive effect change will have for our company and our people, and what an exciting journey it will be."
—William V. Hickey, President & CEO, Sealed Air

"Our Iceberg Is Melting is superb. It embodies powerful messages that can help a broad audience. It covers all the steps to success in a changing world, from finding the substantial issues, aligning with a potent champion, charting the course, getting buy-in, dealing with those who want no change, and so on."
—Chris Hand, Citigroup Global Account Vice President, Avaya Corporation

"Never have I read a parable in a business book that took a complex issue like change management and distilled it down into a simple story for all to understand. This is the ideal follow-on to Leading Change and The Heart of Change. A must-read for anyone dealing with managing change."
—Richard J. Kosinski, Category Development Officer, Yahoo, Inc.

"Our Iceberg Is Melting is fantastic—offbeat, but right on. We should make everyone in Washington, D.C., read it."
—John Batten, Executive Vice President, Twin Disc, Inc.

"This is the easiest-to-read yet most informative book I have ever seen. Setting one of management's biggest challenges—'what problem, I don't see a problem'—in the context of a melting iceberg and a determined penguin was a stroke of sheer genius."
—Michael Dimelow, Director, Product Marketing, TTP Communications PLC

"I have followed Kotter's work for years, respect it greatly, use it with my clients, and know its unique power to help people and organizations perform better. This latest effort—this little penguin tale—is, in my opinion, the best and most useful book he has ever written."
—Alan Frohman, President, Frohman Associates

"As a result of the book and my sharing it with a few people in the organization, we have moved quickly on several fronts. We are galvanized to go ahead instead of further studying, more organizing, and so on. It is making a difference for us."
—Tom Curley, President and CEO, Associated Press

"It's a great book. It does an excellent job of communicating in a simple and humorous way the key challenges of leading change. We can easily identify with the characters. It allows a light-hearted discussion of very difficult issues."
—Deb Karstetter, Executive Vice President, ABD Insurance & Financial Services

"When I was a child in France, I was first introduced to the French classic The Little Prince. I reread this marvelous book while in college and many times since as an adult. It is a book that keeps me growing and thinking. I can see Our Iceberg Is Melting becoming The Little Prince for the twenty-first century."
—Stephan Bancel, General Manager, Eli Lilly, Belgium

"My fifteen-year-old daughter saw me reading Our Iceberg Is Melting, and when I left the book in the den, she began to read it. When she was done, my wife read it. Afterward, we all talked about it. What I suspect will happen with our family, and especially with our daughter, is that we now have a referent story to use, one that's easy to remember and visually salient, when we discuss issues about change. It has 'stickiness' in that it's hard to forget."
—Peter Z. Orton, Ph.D., Program Director, Special Projects, IBM On Demand Learning

"In this fast-pace world, with piles of data and written material, this book is a breath of fresh air. It is simple and to the point, easy to read, and filled with many ideas that we can all apply. I found my mind reflecting on the past on one page and thinking about the future on the next."
—Edward Day, Executive Vice President, Southern Company Generation

"Our Iceberg Is Melting has been a very successful grounding tool for folks to get their heads, hearts and minds around the extreme changes we are going through."
—Patty McKay, Senior HR Manager, Abbott Vascular

Sales Success: The Right Way Around.

November 25, 2007 by susannebiro

For several years now (seven to be exact) I have been toying with an idea I call the right way around. Let me explain.

Many of us, in our desire to achieve something in business (or in life), drive straight towards our desired target, afraid that if we do not control every aspect of the situation, we will not reach our goal. This is the Type A approach, with which I must say I am intimately familiar.

Whether our goal is to achieve a specific sale or reach an overall business objective, the tendency is to focus on it and direct all our thoughts and efforts toward achieving that exact result.

This method, however, does not necessarily lead to the results we seek, and in my experience, I have often found it to be counterproductive to doing so.


In studying what I believe to be truly successful individuals and organizations, I have discovered that they actually employ a radically different approach - an approach I call, the right way around.


Instead of driving straight towards results, these individuals and organizations focus their thoughts and efforts in an entirely different way. They focus on what it is others want to achieve, placing their attention on their people and their customers!

By focusing solely on others, they achieve the success so many of us seek as a natural by-product of caring more about others.

“I want you to listen to what your conscious commands you to do and go on to carry it out to the best of your knowledge. Then you will live to see that in the long run – in the long run, I say! – success will follow you precisely because you had forgotten to think of it.” – Victor Frankl, Man’s Search for Meaning

Of course, this is not a new idea. It is the one espoused by such greats as Dale Carnegie, Victor Frankel, and Tim Sanders. More recently, it has been expressed by Dov Seidman in his book, HOW: Why HOW we do anything means everything … in business (and in Life), and even by Bill Clinton in his recent Giving: How each of us can change the world. However, what can be new is your, and your organization’s, ability to live it.

How do you do this?

Consider this: the thoughts you think matter!

People usually have a pretty good idea of what we really think of them. They can feel it. They know when we care about them and their success – and, they know it when we do not. It is difficult to fake our true intention towards others. We either genuinely think well of our colleagues and clients and care about their success, or we do not. Either way, they know.

“We can sense how others are feeling towards us. Given a little time, we can always tell when we’re being coped with, manipulated, beneath veneers of niceness. And we typically resent it.” Leadership and Self Deception by The Arbinger Institute.

When you approach others with thoughts of what you want to get from them, they know it and will typically resent you for it. They will resist you, avoid you and find ways to not work with you.

Perhaps you have noticed this in your business development efforts?

Equally, when you think well of others and genuinely care about their success (regardless of what it may mean for you), they also know this. They respond by liking and trusting you, and whenever possible, will seek out ways in which they can work with you.

Ah, the beauty of the human element in business! People will always find a way to do business with those with whom they most want to work.


Questions to consider:
Are you in the business of sales or in the business of service?
What would you do this week if your only goal was to make the people with whom you work more successful?
