The story of the Thief on the Cross is a great illustration of how to process digital end goals for your church.

Notes:
- Story: Matthew 27:38, Luke 23:32-43, and Mark 15:27

- Don't lessen what is possible while lessening what God wants to do

- Don't take your foot off the peddle of in-person community

- We love to draw lines like Jesus’s interaction in Matthew 19 about divorce

- Before you try to dismiss or belittle what God is doing online think of the Thief on the Cross

- What’s important is your church has a strategy to move watchers towards face-to-face community
