Topic: How to grow the church.
Church growth can be seen in four ways, and these are:
1. Numerical growth
2. Financial growth
3. Spiritual growth
4. Satellite churches.
1. Acts 2:44-47 According to the scripture, the Lord added to their number because there was breaking of bread( koinonia or fellowship), unity, and giving.
2. Financial growth
a) Finances come when the church grows in number.
b) Finances increase when people grow spiritually.
c) Finances can only grow when the people respect the types of giving, e.g, Tithe, offering, love offering, and sacrificial giving.
3. Spiritual growth will come by :
- Fellowship
- Personal bible reading
- Prayer
-2 Timothy 2:15
You can inhence personal bible reading by picking a book, read a chapter every day until you finish the whole book, then go to another one.
Hebrews 10:25
-We can also grow spiritually if we do not give up the habit of fellowshipping together with brethren.
- Praying: Prayer should be our lifestyle as children of God. Let's pray without ceasing in order to grow spiritually.
Prayer Structure
- Worship
- Praise
- Forgiveness
- Spiritual warfare
- Thanksgiving
4. Satellite churches.
We can only plant churches if we grow in number, finances, and spiritually.
The church can not grow if the people have a habit of staying home on Sunday. We should observe and respect the Sabbath. It is a sin to stay away from church on Sunday.
