Catalyst Conference- Perry Noble

I recently attended the Catalyst Conference in Duluth, GA (www.catalystconference.com), a conference designed to help leaders impact the next generation. Since I work with young married adults and am the dad to two great little guys, I'm all for impacting the next generations. The next several posts will include my notes from some of the Catalyst sessions. First up was Perry Noble, the Pastor of NewSpring Church in Anderson, SC.

He shared Four Principles of Vision (from Acts 26):
1. Vision begins with an accurate view of Jesus- v. 15
We must buy into the person of Jesus before we buy into a plan.
2. Vision calls us to action- v. 16a
Don't use prayer as an excuse to action.
3. Vision will impact me personally- v. 16 b
There is a price of pain to achieve great gain.
4. Vision will lead to victory- v. 17, 18
People often ask what formula NewSpring Church has used that has led it to experience amazing growth and to consistently see life change occur. His response is that they use the following "formula": they worship passionately; they preach Jesus unapologetically; and they call people to repentance.
