Consumer mentality is toxic. If left unchecked, it leads to institutionalism and parochialism. When those set in, a slow death of the congregation is inevitable. That consumer mentality resides in the Old Adam. You cannot reason with him or negotiate with him. You can only crucify the Old Adam.

In this session, we will discuss how to assess if a consumer mentality has set into your congregation. We will see that there is only one solution: repentance. We will discuss how to produce fruits of repentance, charting a path forward in our congregation that places Christ’s mission at the center of everything we do. And we will see how to recommit ourselves to mission.

As we grow in our understanding of Christ’s love for us… in how much he has done for us… we learn to set aside any consumer mentality we had towards a church. The only thing that matters to us: carrying out Christ’s mission in the brief time we have on earth.
