The Hottest Thing at Church Is Not Your Pastor or Worship Leader
Despite a new wave of contemporary church buzzwords like relational, relevant, and intentional, people who show up on Sundays are looking for the same thing that has long anchored most services: preaching centered on the Bible.
Only an “in-person” preacher can bear the burdens of the congregation, weep with those who weep, and rejoice with those who rejoice.
