Walking With God (1 of 4)
Series: Think Smaller

John 10:1-5, 27-28
One of my favorite movies is, The Patriot. And one of my favorite lines in the movie occurs when Mel Gibson’s character is preparing his youngest two sons to rescue his eldest son after being captured. As they are preparing their muskets for the rescue, he says, ‘‘What have I taught you about shooting?’’ And their response was, ‘‘Aim small, miss small!’’
What a great line - for life. DYK that line was not originally in the script by was coined by the technical advisor as he was teaching the actors how to shoot a muzzle-loaded rifle - and Gibson liked the line so much; it found its way into the final script.
To aim small, miss small means that when you’re aiming at a target (no matter the target), don’t aim at the whole target, but zoom into a small section w/in the target. That way, if you miss, instead of missing everything, you’ll still hit a part of the whole target.
For me - to aim small, miss small is about zooming in on what is most important/essential to make sure we can accomplish what we’re wanting to achieve.
A little over a year ago, after getting Unleashed, our church leaders laid out a plan for our church for the next 6-7 yrs to - Aim Higher, Dream Bigger. It was a challenge for us to be all we could be for God’s glory.
The plan includes (6) endeavors we believe God wants us to engage in over the next few years so we’re fully engaged in G.C. ministry on our campus, in PTC, across the US - and ultimately, around the world - b/c we know to whom much is given, much is required.
To help you remember - let me quickly recap the plan.
