I have seen this in our own ministry. We were talking about what we as a church can learn from a bar. We interviewed the owner of a local establishment. She said that she thinks “the reason people come back is b/c of her bartenders and the atmosphere they create.” One of our people equated that to our church and said people come here b/c of me and my wife. We are the pastors. I was shocked. They saw us as the gate keepers not them. I see them as our bartenders.

This is the shift that needs to happen. God gave the apostles, prophets, evangelists, teachers, and pastors to equip the church to do what God has called THEM to do. Not to have them accomplish what God has called us to do.
