WHO AM I?
Isaiah 51:15
I am the Lord your God, who churns up the sea so that it’s waves roar.
Sapagkat ako ang Panginoon mong Dios na nagpapahugong sa dagat,
Na ang mga alon niyao’y humuhugong.
Church growth cannot be produced by man!
Only God makes the church grow
! Corinthians 3:6
I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God
made it grow
Wrong Question:
What will make our church grow?
Right Question:
What is keeping our church from growing?
Colossians 2:19
“It is from Him that all the parts of the body are
cared for and held together. So it grows in the
way God wants it to grow”
1. Only through Christ that all parts of the body
are cared and held together.
2. It is the will of God that the church will grow.
3. When the congregation is healthy, they grow
the way God intends.
A CHURCH HEALTH IS MEASURED BY ITS
SENDING CAPACITY NOT ITS SEATING
