  • What happens when we get comfortable or complacent when we're leading the church?
    • We become program driven.
    • We become metric driven.
    • We have poorly nourished flocks.
  • What does Scripture say about our work to the Lord?
    • 1 Corinthians 10:31
    • Colossians 3:23
  • 7 thoughts effective pastors think to combat complacency and comfortability.
    • I am to work as if I expected the Lord to inspect it (for His glory).
    • Do my work out of the joy of the Lord.
    • Do my work as an image bearer.
    • I am a steward
    • I need the input of others (constructive criticism, input from other pastors, good books, etc.)
    • I’m not supposed to just “get this done.”
    • I will not do my work to be satisfied by it.

The listener question we answer this week:
