I am stunned at all of the negative comments pertaining to church growth. You cannot presume to know what is in a man't heart. I am concerned about growing my church, but not because I need bigger offerings (as some in this comment section have suggested), instead it is because I am focused on the great commission. Our job is to go and make disciples. That suggest we make MORE people followers of Jesus Christ. When I read the book of Acts it says that Peter preached on the day of pentecost and 3,000 were added to their number. It goes on to say that the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.
The question is not how big or small, rather is the church focused on creating disciples. I have seen both big and small do a good job of this and I have seen big and small do a poor job of this. Stop taking shots at those churches who want to grow the Kingdom.
Blessings on everyone.
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.
