To Build a Contagious Church . . .

We Must Have Contagious Leaders

Contagious Leaders are Men of God

Even Deacons can “catch it” if leaders are Contagious

Success breeds success


Attitude Determines Everything!If you think you are beaten, you are.

If you think you dare not, you don’t.

If you like to win but think you can’t, it’s almost certain you won’t.

If you think you’ll lose, you’ve lost.


A Negative Attitude Destroys

A negative thinker is a person who has swallowed and egg;

Afraid to move for fear it will break;

Afraid to sit down for fear it will hatch.


A Negative Attitude Destroys

Phil 4:13 – Where was Paul when he penned that statement?

Phil 4:4 – Where was he then?

That is a contagious positive attitude!

Negative Attitudes are Contagious Too!
