Chapter 5: Am introduction to church growth.
And I say unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Matthew 16:18.
The foundation of these living stone is a rock. That rock is Jesus and it defines the limit of the church,. A church is not a true church unless it is built upon the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus said the gates of hell would not prevail against the true church. This implied that the church would experience great opposition from Satan but would not be defeated.
Scriptural purposes for the church is to worship God, members of the church are to serve by ministering to needs of each other, fellowship.
Types of church growth.
Internal growth. Which refers to the spiritual growth of people within the church.
Expansion growth is a growth in numbers which occurs when the mission of evangelism is fulfilled by the church.
Extension growth. A church extend when it starts new churches in similar cultures.
Wow thank you so much for sharing, one thing to note is that any true church most face opposition and that’s why it’s built on the rock
That’s why we have to be conscious as intercessors
