Best Ministry Advice Ever Received

For the first 10 years of my life in ministry, I had the opportunity to serve on the staff of 4 very different churches in 4 very different settings. I learned many things from each church and from each Senior Pastor I was privileged to partner with. But there is one lesson that stands out above the rest...

"Ministry is all about people."

That sounds like a simple statement. But it's a statement that radically impacts pretty much every aspect of ministry. Ministry isn't all about strategies... or programs... or buildings... or structures... or worship style... or  curriculum... or any of the myriad of other things we spend so much time on.

"Ministry is all about people."

Over the next several posts, we'll explore some of the implication of that statement. I invite your comments.
