The Big MO…Did you watch the Super Bowl this past Sunday? If not, you missed a great game…and a few good commercials. What made it a great game? The “stars” showed up, records were broken, it wasn’t a run-a-way win and to top it off, thre were a number of momentum shifts. That’s what John Maxwell would call the law of Big Mo at work.

When you have momentum, you don’t worry about small problems and many larger ones seem to work themselves out. However, when you don’t have momentum, even the simplest tasks seem impossible and small problems look like insurmountable obstacles.

To further quote John, “An organization with no momentum is like a train at a dead stop. It’s hard to get going, and even small wooden blocks on the track can keep it from going anywhere. On the other hand, when you have momentum on your side, the future looks bright, obstacles appear small, and troubles seem inconsequential. An organization with momentum is like a train that’s moving at 60 mph…you could build a steel-reinforced concrete wall across the tracks, and the train would plow right through it.”

By God’s grace, we’re experiencing some momentum right now as a church, at all of our campuses. Let’s not miss this wave of God’s activity. Don’t let up in your passionate pursuit of God and His best for you. Keep praying bold prayers. Continue to believe God for the impossible. Reach out in love to those who are near you and far from God. Honor everyone and invite someone to join you at your campus this weekend. Like a championship team, let’s allow the Big Mo to work for us!
