How should you respond to difficult people who return to your church? Here are four biblical principles that should shape your response.

Most people, even people who might notionally identify as Christians, are not found in Church except at certain times of the year—like Easter! Let’s think about how we, as churches—and how pastors, in particular—can show hospitality to people visiting churches this Easter season.

People leave churches for many reasons, and your response to their leaving will depend, in part, on why they are going. Remembering that Scripture will help you keep even the most difficult exits in perspective.
