Owner or Member?

On Sunday, we mentioned that our focus is for everyone in our church to see themselves as owners not members.

Here are some of the differences that were mentioned:

• Owners take responsibility but members claim their "rights."
• Owners say "we will do whatever it takes" but members just want the t-shirt.
• Owners focus on service (Mark 10:45), but members say "serve us."
• Owners show up to church with a fork ready to devour the Word.  Members show up with a bib screaming "feed us."
• Owners find solutions where as members find problems.
• Owners are contributors where as members are consumers.

At the end of the day, owners say we are a place for everyone because Christ came for everyone, and we will do whatever it takes to reach everyone with the Gospel.

Are you an owner or a member?
