We can’t get so caught up in the weeds of missiology that we miss the mission.

Summary
Main message: The church should focus on its mission to reach people rather than fixating on a "perfect" size or a preferred style; methods and preferences change with culture and history. Leaders and members must prioritize mission over personal taste.
Key points:
- There is no fixed "perfect" church size—attendance naturally changes.
- Missiology matters: methods for engaging mission depend on cultural context and change over time.
- Worship styles (liturgical, hymns, instruments) developed historically and are not timeless mandates.
- Fixating on methodology usually reflects personal comfort, not mission effectiveness.
- Church decisions should prioritize reaching more people over individual preferences; leaders may disagree with some practices but accept them for the sake of mission.
