Gaining By Losing: Why the Future Belongs to Churches that Send (Exponential Series)

People are leaving the church J.D. Greear pastors. Big givers. Key volunteers. Some of his best leaders and friends. And thatâ€™s exactly how he wants it to be.

When Jesus gave his disciples the Great Commission, he revealed that the key for reaching the world with the gospel is found in sending, not gathering. Though many churches focus time and energy on attracting people and counting numbers, the real mission of the church isnâ€™t how many people you can gather. Itâ€™s about training up disciples and then sending them out. The true measure of success for a church should be its sending capacity, not its seating capacity.

But there is a cost to this. To see ministry multiply, we must release the seeds God has placed in our hands. And to do that, we must ask ourselves whether we are concerned more with building our kingdom or Godâ€™s.

In Gaining By Losing, J.D. Greear unpacks ten plumb lines that you can use to reorient your churchâ€™s priorities around Godâ€™s mission to reach a lost world. The good news is that you donâ€™t need to choose between gathering or sending. Effective churches can, and must, do both.
