I guess I will have to disagree with the majority here. Saying that "Jesus is not concerned with numbers" seems to be the mentality of a small church that is finding it difficult to produce numerical growth. God is very concerned with numbers! God wants people and people equal numbers.... is it crazy to assume that God would want to reach many? I believe checking out ways to reach more people is necessary in growing a church for God. A church with a large attendance may mean good things are happening there, and not necessarily a sign of lowerd standards or a watered-down message.
On our own we are little more than bits of stone and glass. Together we are the Body of Christ. Holy Bible: Mosaic is an invitation to experience Christ in His Word and in the responses of his people. Each week, as you reflect on guided Scripture readings aligned with the church seasons, you will receive a wealth of insight from historical and contemporary writings.
