5 Myths about Successful Churches

This set of ideas is from Joseph Mattera:

Mattera thinks the very items many measure success by today are the same items Jesus opposed in Matthew 23. “In this passage Jesus speaks against people loving titles, celebrity status, and desiring prominent places in public events.” Here are his five myths:

MYTH #1: The Size of the Church Shows Success.

MYTH #2: The Amount of the Budget Shows Success.

MYTH #3: The Celebrity Status of the Leader Shows Success.

MYTH #4: The Title of the Leader Shows Success.

MYTH #5: The Affluent Lifestyle of the Leader Shows Success.

So how would you measure “success”?
