Build Great Things (#1110)

2013/05/31 By Greg

eric dyeEric Dye, editor-in-chief for ChurchMag and Finding Justice, recently applied the words of Google’s CEO to the church. In his keynote address at I/O earlier this month, Larry Page said: “We should be building great things that don’t exist.”  Dye, in turn suggests that the church must embrace these prophetic words as it seeks to innovate for a new era.

  • How might a true commitment to build great things that don’t exist change your congregation?
