A short sermon/monologue by Rylee Meek arguing that the real metric of ministry is individual sanctification rather than attendance. The speaker emphasizes that spiritual growth is difficult to measure at scale, that pastors equip and instruct but individuals must take responsibility for their own sanctification, and notes that outward appearances of church health can be misleading.
The true metric should be, you know, not how many people are attending, but how many people are actually being sanctified. Right. And that's hard to measure on a mass scale. Right. You know, unless you're having those individual conversations, which is, again, if a large church, I think it's wonderful. It means a lot of people want to hear the word. But at the end of the day, individually, it boils down to us as the individual to take responsibility. It's not your pastor responsibility to, to help you grow. It is your responsibility. Right. He's there to help equip and instruct. Right. And but if you're not taking the action and, and doing the things that it requires, then you're not going to grow. Right. So and what's interesting about this, too, is that from the outside looking in, like everything would look great at the chink.
