Episode158: Endurance Breakers

1. Building neglect  - falling apart  - smells  - clutter  - get outside eyes  - children's area

2. Worship woes  - is it the same it has been for the last 30 years  - you can be contemporary, traditional, or blended, but you can't be 1990 in any of those formats

3. Guest neglect  - No greeting area  - Not welcoming   - spotlighting

4. Insufficient Technology   - website out of date  - bad video quality  - poor audio quality

5. Little expectation  - don't plan for guests, you won't have guests  - no new member class

6. Unwillingness to change  - desperation is the catalyst
7. Uncaring hearts toward outsiders  - closed off to the community

Is there hope? If our church has 1 or many of these characteristics, is there hope?

Begin with prayer  - return to your first love Loving others will only happen as an overflow.   First command - love and be loved by God Second command - overflow into others
