Change. How important is the neighborhood mail box today? Millennials may never have noticed one. College text books? A shrinking market. It’s all on the net. Consider the church. Small churches consolidated to become megachurches. A benefit was supposedly that you could attend anonymously. Now there is a growing movement to house churches. Small gatherings, folks knowing each other. Church experiences change. Some are even faddish. But one thing is constant. Their purpose is to teach the gospel and grow disciples. That happens through more than teaching. Connection, accountability, being known. Jesus mirrored that with his disciples. The Apostle Paul describes this in Acts.
Churches need not fear change. Simply teach the gospel using any and all venues, disciple, and leave the rest in God’s hands.
