Why don't many people consistantly come to church? It takes some change. The key to creating a championship program is to create a sense of urgency. Everything must be "now" related. Every step is part of the winning program. Therefore, if one small part doesn't perform with a championship mindset, then the entire team will suffer. The church does not have a sense of urgency. How can we create that urgency in our church? Do you prepare for Sundays like you do for the rest of the week? How much are you praying for the services? How are you preparing for Easter Sunday? God has to put that sense of urgency in your heart.

People want to know what's in it for them. The main benefit of coming to church is a changed life. What changes lives are stories of changed lives. When people hear your story, they hear the Power of God come through. God does not waste tragedy. God gave you a story for a reason.
