You can’t meet them all, but it starts with discovering God’s specific plan for where you should focus your efforts and resources.
When you are strong at home, you can be stronger globally.
5. Unified Around Purpose Rather Than Divided by Agenda
Unity in your church may be one of the strongest allies you have both spiritually and organizationally toward achieving your mission.
Division (already chosen sides) and divisiveness (forcing the choice of sides) are hurting the church and current culture.
The better we get at unity within our churches, the greater our integrity and voice to those outside the church.
Rarely, if ever, does a church struggle because its mission isn’t right; it’s because the church couldn’t agree and rally around that mission. Unity is essential.
It’s true that the mission must be worth following, but the real power is in unity. It’s about going there together.
On a scale of 1 – 10, how unified is your church to your mission and vision?
I hope this is helpful; let’s keep going!
