Church Growth - Part2

Why Should the Church Grow?
1. Because God's Word Commands it.
Matthew 28:19-20 Make Disciples - Baptize Them - Teach Them
Mark 16:15, Luke 24:46-48, John 20:21

2. Because the needs of the people
As long is there is one person without Christ in our area we must keep reaching out.

3. It's Selfish not to want to grow.
2 Corinthians 5:14, 1 Peter 3:9

4. Because Jesus Believes in Church Growth
Matthew 16:18 Jesus said "I will build my church, and the gates of hell will not overcome it."

5. Because The nature of the church itself implies Growth
The church is not an organization but an organism.

6. Because the New Testament Church Grew

Growth is not an option. A church not growing is a dying church.
