The Top 10 Leadership Posts I Read The Week Of July 27th

During these times when pastors and church leaders are seeing anywhere from 10-50% of their regular attendance returning, it is important to return to the fundamentals.  Nothing grows a church faster than great preaching.  This is why I love this week’s Top 10 list so much.  Several of the posts deal with the art and craft of preaching.  I think more people will benefit from this week’s list than many of my weekly compilations.
