Good To Great
Mt Pleasant is definitely a GOOD Church, but…
Will we risk becoming a GREAT Church?
240 Worship
Good To Great
“We want as many people as possible to have an encounter with
Jesus in a joyful, liberating atmosphere, among friendly faces,
feasting on the Word of God, so that they will experience and
respond to Jesus’ invitation, “Follow me…”

Good To Great“When a Christian
avoids fellowship with
other Christians, the
devil smiles. When he
stops studying the
Bible, the devil laughs.
When he stops
praying, the devil
shouts for joy.”

Does any of this really matter (to me)?
“Currently, young Christians reach adulthood
bored with church experience, and with little or
no sense of their calling as missionaries.”
Alan Hirsch
1. How do we get there?
2. What’s my role?
I n t e n t i o n a l
to commit in order to become, to produce, to arrive
Generous people love to talk about MONEY
It is a TOOL that enables them to be CREATIVE, COURAGEOUS, OPTIMISTIC
Selfish people hate to talk about MONEY
It is a BURDEN that makes them be ENVIOUS, AFRAID, CYNICAL
Good churches talk about NEEDS!
Great churches talk about VISION!
> What are your plans?
Those who want to get rich are plunge into ruin and destruction
Selfish People – Money is the solution to problems.
Generous People – Money is the manure of Creativity
TITHE Giving: a Biblical commitment to put God first
FREE WILL Giving: above the Tithe for special interests
SACRIFICIAL Giving: Legacy giving for future generations
> What are you committed to?
Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith
and pierced themselves with many griefs.
“Trying to be happy by accumulating possession is like trying
to satisfy your hunger by taping sandwiches all over your
body.” George Carlin
Generous People are the Happiest People!
