Leadership Transition: Running with Purpose
Leadership Transition: Running with Purpose Hebrews 12: 1-3 Four important principles to remember during a transition 1. Run the race that is marked out for you - For us 2. Be aware of the sin that gets you so easily tangled up 3. Learn from those who have run the race before us 4. Lets keep our focus and stay on course My personal race What we as a leadership team have discussed so far: 1. We have used the symbol of a relay with the passing on of the baton. 2. The transition would be over a period of time. The timing has not yet been determined but we will be trying to do what is most helpful for the church. 3. We will get an outside consultant to help lead this process. What would my future role be with Maple City Chapel? 1. I will take the role that the leadership team and I believe is the most helpful for the church. What can the church expect from us? 1. We will try to stay current with our communication about the transition process 2. We will process this decision in various layers as we have with past major decisions. 3. Each of you will be given a voice in the final decision. What would we like from you? 1. Pray about this leadership transition process 2. Give us you Spirit led discernment and wise counsel along the way 3. Be patient with us - we have not gone this way before
How to Make Decisions and Know God's Will

A Decision to be Made
Acts 1:15-26 Our text opens with the Apostle Peter taking the lead among the apostles. His failure and disgrace behind him, this natural leader steps to the front and deals with the empty position left in the twelve by the treachery and suicide of Judas Iscariot. Apparently Peter has been reading his Bible and connecting the prophecies of the Old Testament with their present situation. He addresses the group by quoting Scripture revealing both the prophecy Jesus’ betrayal by Judas (Psalm 41:9) and the imprecatory Scripture (Psalm 69:25; Psalm 109:8) that laid the foundation for his decision to replace Judas in the Twelve. This text not only offers us a complete history of the the betrayer of Jesus Christ but also offers us an incredible example of the beauty and integrity of the Word of God. This decision on the part of the disciples has been the subject of much debate. Should they have waited for the Holy Spirit’s gifting before they made the decision? While the question still remains we do know this. The disciples followed the directives of the Word of God and bathed their decision process with prayer. This is the great lesson that we can learn from this historical account.
