In this episode we discuss...
- that good enough is not good enough!
- What happens when we get comfortable or complacent when we're leading the church?
- We become program driven.
- We become metric driven.
- We have poorly nourished flocks.
- What does Scripture say about our work to the Lord?
- 1 Corinthians 10:31
- Colossians 3:23
- 7 thoughts effective pastors think to combat complacency and comfortability.
- I am to work as if I expected the Lord to inspect it (for His glory).
- Do my work out of the joy of the Lord.
- Do my work as an image bearer.
- I am a steward
- I need the input of others (constructive criticism, input from other pastors, good books, etc.)
- I’m not supposed to just “get this done.”
- I will not do my work to be satisfied by it.
The listener question we answer this week:
- "What role, if any, should tithing play in Membership?"
