The ministry is full of challenges.
Whether you are a staff pastor, or the person who puts the tithe envelopes in the back of the chairs, there are jobs that must be done, protocols that must be followed, and attendees that must be considered. Nothing we do can be on accident.
Whether you are a staff pastor, or the person who puts the tithe envelopes in the back of the chairs, there are jobs that must be done, protocols that must be followed, and attendees that must be considered. Nothing we do can be on accident.
One of those challenges is remembering the reason behind everything we do.
Jesus.
Everything we do is meant to point people to him. When they come in contact with the people of God, their experience should be something like this:
Welcome to church, our greeters are really nice.
And...Jesus.
Check out our awesome music.
By the way...Jesus.
Look at our graphics, they are modern and cutting edge.
And also...Jesus.

The reality of what we do is that on our own, we are powerless. If we are not pointing back to him, it means nothing.
But when we focus on Jesus
Joy comes.
Healing takes place.
Fear no longer exists.
Hope rises.
Faith grows.
We are mirrors to reflect him.
