Episode158: Endurance Breakers

 

1. Building neglect
 - falling apart
 - smells
 - clutter
 - get outside eyes
 - children's area

2. Worship woes
 - is it the same it has been for the last 30 years
 - you can be contemporary, traditional, or blended, but you can't be 1990 in any of those formats

3. Guest neglect
 - No greeting area
 - Not welcoming 
 - spotlighting

4. Insufficient Technology 
 - website out of date
 - bad video quality
 - poor audio quality

5. Little expectation
 - don't plan for guests, you won't have guests
 - no new member class
- Unwillingness to change
 - desperation is the catalyst
- Uncaring hearts toward outsiders
 - closed off to the community

Is there hope?
If our church has 1 or many of these characteristics, is there hope?

Begin with prayer  - return to your first love
Loving others will only happen as an overflow.  
First command - love and be loved by God
Second command - overflow into others
