Moving from Nostalgic Ministry to Present Ministry

Published: Dec. 3, 2014, 5 p.m.

b'There aren\'t many people who don\'t have a desire to revisit the "good ole days." The days when everything seemed simpler and lives seemed in order. The contemporary church is in danger of missing out on serious ministry opportunities in the present because of a nostalgia for the past. Some are still hoping for that new revival moment like the ones kindled during the Great Awakening and the Post War years. It is this very nostalgia that is holding some churches hostage from true ministry today. How can the church move beyond the nostalgia of yesterday and be empowered for a new ministry? It\'s time to replace the old wineskins with new ones. Join Pastor Neal for this and other topics.'
