Church Reopenings (Ministry Now with Chris Osborne)

Today we’re talking about reopening churches in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and the many concerns that come with it. Here to help us make some sense of it all is Dr. Chris Osborne, Professor of Preaching and Pastoral Ministry here at Southwestern Seminary. Before coming to Southwestern, he served as pastor of Central Baptist Church, Bryan, Texas, for over 30 years. Timestamps: 01:27 - Why is it essential for churches to meet together? 02:30 - If meeting together is so important, were we wrong to forego our public meetings? What in Scripture prompts us to give up something so essential to the faith? 03:25 - How would you relate to this question of church gatherings and religious liberty? 05:10 - How do you as a pastor navigate differences of opinion regarding when it is safe to meet, and how do you help your church members navigate those differences? 06:56 - What are the factors what you would be weighing in determining when is the right time to open up? Are there any resources you can point pastors to? 08:15 - What things should pastors and staff think through when it comes to social distancing and mitigating the spread in church gatherings? 09:20 - How would you help your staff (and yourself) address the mental and emotional exhaustion of the previous season and the exhaustion to come in the next? 12:02 - How do you make plans when the future is so fluid? 13:52 - How, if at all, would you preach differently coming out of this season? Ministry Now is a resource from the faculty of Southwestern Seminary, helping you live your calling in an ever-changing ministry landscape.
