Four Reasons I See Incredible Potential For The Church In 2023

Episode Summary

On this week's edition of the Perry Noble Leadership Podcast, as we approach a mid-term election here in the United States, and a new year. Let's take a step back from the chaos and the news, and look at the reasons why 2023 could be the best year yet for the local Church. Spoiler alert, the potential of the local Church rises and falls on leadership. --- Four Reasons I See Incredible Potential For The Church In 2023

1) THE MORE PEOPLE THAT ARE OUT OF CHURCH MEANS THERE IS MORE

POTENTIAL TO GROW

A record number of people out of church = opportunity to reach record numbers

of people.

There’s not a lack of churches to attend. There’s a lack of churches that people

are connecting to Jesus and/or other people.

Church growth happens by God working through people who work towards it.

When it comes to growing, always keep these two questions in mind:What do we need to start doing?What do we need to stop doing?2) MORE PEOPLE ARE ASKING QUESTIONS THAT THE CHURCH ACTUALLY

HAS ANSWERS TO

As the church we have answers to the current “hot topic” issues: gender,

sexuality, abortion, politics.

The church can’t be afraid of being “canceled” because we speak on issues

based on what scripture tells us.

Good leaders should also have the humility to say, “I don’t know” if they don’t

have an answer without further research, knowledge, context.

We need to meet people where they are and then let Jesus taken them where

they need to be (as Jesus did).

3) PEOPLE ARE CRAVING THE SUPERNATURAL MORE THAN EVER BEFORE

At one time, the church had the corner of the market on the supernatural.

Unfortunately, over the last 2,000 years we’ve made it boring and predicable.

Goal = Create an environment where people can experience the presence of Jesus sand set the stage for the supernatural. We create the environment and let God do the rest!4) MORE PEOPLE CRAVE TO BE A PART OF SOMETHING THAT IS BIGGER

THAN THEM & MAKES A DIFFERENCE

People love to share common experiences

People love to make a difference

When we can have a common experience that makes a difference on a consistent basis - people will gives their lives to it! It's not just about making the church bigger, it's about making their lives better.

We don’t want to only focus on building a big church, we want to build better people. That will organically make your church grow exponentially.

FINAL THOUGHTS: Our best days are ahead of us.
