Thursday's Catch: '3 Places to Greet Easter Guests This Weekend'


The greeters at your church have an important job this weekend as they greet many Easter guests. But what does this role entail?

This One Meeting Revolutionized How I Listen to My Church Staff
“Start meeting with each team member one-on-one, at least once a month.”

You are what you eat, the old saying goes. We celebrate worship, but we also consume and internalize it. It shapes who we are and charts what we might become. We become who we are in large part because of how we worship.

If our benchmark of success is everyone responding warmly to the gospel, then even Jesus failed. But if our benchmark is that we go out into the ordinary world, join in with what God is already doing there, and expect to see fruit in whatever measure he decides – then we can all succeed. That's how it worked for Jesus.
