Generosity is not something that always comes easy to us. Nor is passionate worship. Risk taking mission and service. Intentional faith development. Or Radical Hospitality. Being a vital congregation and faithful disciples of Jesus is hard at times. And sometimes, just sometimes, it requires a radical shift in our priorities. In the words of Bishop Schase, “To fulfill the ministry of Christ, congregations must change and grow and adapt in ways that are purposeful, thoughtful, and faithful.”
How are we willing to change as local churches in order to proclaim the power of Jesus Christ? And how are willing to change as invividual disciples in order to bear good, abundant , fruit for the Kingdom of God?
