Biblical Church Growth
What does the Bible say about church growth?
With the desire in our society for everything to be bigger and flashier how does that work when we look at growing our church? Does God want us to be like society, building up to church to meet the felt needs of people and to entertain them?
This video talks about what the bible says about church growth:
The quote in the video, in case you missed it, is:
"When I have heard of large congregations gathered together by the music of a fine choir, I have remembered that the same thing is done at the opera house and the music hall and I have felt no joy." Carles H. Spurgeon
And the versus are:
Do not be conformed to this world, but by transformed by the renewing of your mind… Romans 12:2
Do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility towards God? Therefor whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God… James 4:4
See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ. Colossians 2:8
The gist of the video is that to grow the church we are to preach the entire truth that is laid out before us in the bible. Not just the comfortable stuff, or the easy stuff, but ALL of it.
Preach the Word, in and out of season… 2 Timothy 4:2
