Following trends is not the way God wants us to do ministry. Even if it looks successful. Instead, God wants us to find a style of doing ministry that works for us. 

Scripture Reference: Psalm 139:14 / Romans 12:2 / Philippians 4:13 / Joshua 24:15-17 

Our focus scripture: Luke 6:48-49: (emphasis added)

She is like a woman who chooses the right place to build a ministry and then lays a deep and secure foundation. When the storms and floods rage against that ministry, it continues to stand firm and unshaken through the storm, for she built it wisely on the proper foundation. But the one who has heard my teaching and does not obey it is like a woman who builds a ministry without laying any foundation at all. When the storms and floods rage against that ministry, it will immediately collapse and become a total loss. Which of these two builders will you be?”
