In a church, the Pastors, Ministers, Elders, office staff and volunteers are the gold foundation framework of the crown in the kingdom of God.
The various ministries, programs, special services and events are the jewels in the crown.
The largest, most vibrant jewel in the front and centre of the crown is the teaching of the Word of God.
Do not let the cast become more important than the message.
Teach the Word.
Everything else (although it or they can be good) is gravy.
So faith comes from hearing [what is told], and what is heard comes by the [preaching of the] message concerning Christ.
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge [of My law, where I reveal My will].
