What is Ministry Success? - The Jesus Trip

About this sermon

Numbers, Building, Burnout and Joy ... So often, ministry success has been determined by human standards: numbers and the degree of influence a person has over others. And while preachers generally know that the most important priority is not ministry, but their own relationship with the Lord … ministry itself can become a detrimental idol that impedes authenticity in this area, bringing burnout and even moral failure. This week, John Crowder encourages a return to joy and first love by taking our eyes off the “mechanics” of ministry, or even our attempt to drum up some pathetic degree of personal love for God. Instead, we must look at the only true success in ministry … which is Christ’s own ministry to us. Wherein we may truly find fruitfulness and renewal.
