It has been found in studies that new churches pay attention to people and thrive and that old churches get complacent and shrunk and become irrelevant. Studies have also found that churches do better when they focus more on local missional projects in their own community than on world missions. So if your church closed its doors today who would miss it other than the active church members? When we lose touch with our purpose, we lose our capacity for finding meaning in our life.
John 8:12New Living Translation (NLT)
12 Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, “I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.”
Prayer: O'Lord, help our churches to thrive for Your glory, in Jesus name, Amen.
