Matthew 25:31-46
Buildings, Bodies and Budgets. Sometimes disciples mistake these tangible and visible items as what makes for a successful church. The more we have of each, the more successful we are. Instead, these are simply means to the real foci – faithfulness and transformation. Becoming more like Jesus is the goal. Loving each other and making disciples are our callings. How do you measure success in your church?
Prayer Thought: Ask God to help you lay aside human criteria for church success and to integrate God’s criteria more fully.
