Description

Have you ever been in a church that had big plans and exciting projects, but these collapsed as soon as the leadership changed? Or have you ever been in a church that built stability on keeping everything the same as it's always been? This Sunday, we considered Jesus' teaching about humility from Luke 14.1, 7-14, which highlights two temptations that church leaders, in particular, must avoid:

1. The temptation to exhalt themselves, by using a congregation to advance their own following, style and branding.
2. The temptation to prioritise the preferences and opinions of people who give time and money to the church, against those who have little or nothing to give.

Please pray for us at Holy Trinity, as we discern our vision moving forward, that we will submit our own ideas, preference and desires to Jesus, and our lives to one another.
