Important Questions to Consider . . .

Image result for clipart for questionsWhen you think about your children's ministry, what are the top five things you want to see happen? What are the most important things for you to spend your time working on? Where do you invest most of your time? Why do you spend it on those things?

These are very important questions for us to think about, but here is one more . . . how effective are you in accomplishing these things? And, how effective are these things in reaching children, bringing them to a place where they place their trust in Jesus and then grow to know and walk with Him? After all, this is the most important thing. Are the things which are most important in your children's ministry, really reaching children? Do they really help children place their trust in Jesus and then grow to know and walk with Him for all of their lives?

If not, why are these the most important things for you to spend your time on - and resources of money and volunteers? Another important question for you - and for all of us, to consider.

This weekend I want to think more about these questions and ask you to step back and look at what you are doing in your children's ministry. Is it truly effective? What do you spend most of your time doing? What might you do instead to become more effective at what is truly most important; reaching children for Jesus and helping them grow to know and walk with Him all of their lives.
