God’s Blueprint for Church Growth: Spiritual, Relational, and Numerical Expansion

This insightful guide emphasizes God's will for the church to flourish in various dimensions: spiritually through deeper understanding (Heb. 5:12-14), in love for one another (1 Thess. 4:9-10, Phil. 1:9), through dedicated efforts (Rev. 2:19), and in numbers (Acts 2:47, 4:4). Key growth strategies include converting the lost (Acts 2:47), restoring wayward Christians (2 Cor. 2:6-8), and encouraging community engagement. The text also warns against illegitimate growth methods such as the social gospel and recruiting from other congregations.
