The right Enthusiasm

I think we have to enjoy what we do if we are going to succeed

I am enthusiastic where I am willing.



How is your heart?

An enthusiastic leader will keep those undert his or her charge fom achieving their collective best

1. Are you leading with enthusiasm?
2. How do you handle situations where your leader isn't?

Romans 12:11 - Never be lazy in your work, but serve the lord enthusiastically.

Think about where you are in your career? How are you handling it? Are you in it fully? Are you excited to be where you are? Share time.

Story of Apollos is something to think about. Acts 18.

At the beginning Apollos was going around an sharing stories of Jesus but didn't know the whole story. He was enthusiastic but the wrong way.

He went to Ephesus and this is where a Godly couple Priscilla and Aquila. He was told the whole story of Jesus and believe it to be truth. Now he was able to spread the Gospel and the whole story with enthusiasm.

Biblical enthusiasm means to
1. boil in the spirit
2. commit with your whole heart
3. be zealous
4. be passionate

We have to figure out how to be excited about where we are both in the real life and in our life where God has us.

Out of everything you do what do you enjoy least? Can be simple or complex task.

Out of everything you do what do you enjoy most? Can be simple or complex.

How can you have the same enthusiasm for what you enjoy least as your do with what you enjoy most?




Be where your feet are.

What is the purpose for where God has you?

The right enthusiasm.

Apollos has it wrong. It wasn't until someone sat down with him and set him on the right path.

What is your next step regarding enthusiasm.

Saluki downTime January 22, 2023 Poise  If you had 1 million dollars but could only spend it on things that start with first letter of your last name. What would you buy? 3 things.  Poise - graceful and elegant bearing in a person. - balance; equilibrium . : BALANCE especially : to hold or carry in equilibrium carried a water jar poised on her head : to hold supported or suspended without motion in a steady position : to hold or carry (the head) in a particular way : to put into readiness : BRACE : to become drawn up into readiness Just being yourself. Being at east in any situation. Never fighting yourself.  Whatever you are doing to do - do it fast.  Natural outgrowth of having the other blocks in their proper place. We don’t have either if we don’t have the others  - Poise.  Just being you. Does this make sense to you?  When we have poise, we’re not acting, faking, or pretending. We are not trying to live up to others expectations. What have you faked?  Something simple?  Somethi

Saluki downTime December 3, 2023 Team Spirit Team Spirit - A genuine consideration for others. An eagerness to sacrifice personal interests of glory for the welfare of all. What do you think is the most important part of a team? My opinion is YOU. Why would I choose you? Willingness is more like I will if I have to. Eagerness - I'll be happy to sacrifice personal accomplishments for the good of the team. Is doing something willingly bad? What if you change your mindset to eager to do something? Team spirit is the ultimate expression of interdependence. What is interdependence? You Need Others. Why do you need others? If one part suffers, all the parts suffer with it, and if one part is honored, all the parts are glad. Now all of you together are Christ's body, and each of you is separate and necessary part of it. 1 Corinthians 12:26-27 The ones who do the planting or watering aren't important, but God is important because he is the one who makes the seed grow. The one who p
