Momentum

Momentum is what a train has once it leaves the station. It builds speed and then maintains the optimum speed. If it loses that momentum it will take a great deal of acceleration to regain it.

Once a church loses its momentum in ministry it takes a lot longer to regain it. Discouragement can be one of the results of losing momentum, because it takes so much more work to regain it.

The key to maintaining momentum is keeping focused on the task at hand. Sharing Jesus as often as possible to as many as possible with a view for serious and consistent follow-up in discipleship.

Hurrican Ike put the brakes on a lot of ministry here at Greater Heights. But we must continue with a view to regaining all momentum and more.

Easy to say, hard to do.
But it works.
David
