242 – What is your priority at church, getting new members or taking care of the sheep you have?
I used to think my church should focus only on reaching out to the community, sharing the gospel, and getting more people to come to church.
But over the years I've realized it's equally important to nurture and care for the members we already have.
This week's podcast episode talks about the difference between the Great Commission and, what I call, the Great Shepherding of the flock.
Sharing your faith with others and caring for the sheep are both very important but they should not be mixed up. Each one has its place and each works together to enrich the other.
I encourage you to take an honest look at the way you as an individual, and your church (if you’re a member of one) fulfill or don’t fulfill the Great Commission and the Great Shepherding, sharing your faith and feeding the sheep of Jesus.
How can you get closer to the way Jesus preached and fed his sheep?
