  31. Two Cautions

  32. God Still Gives Growth I planted … Apollos watered … … But God gave the growth! I Cor. 3:6

  33. Growth ≠ Planter Identity

  34. Reproducing Churches

  35. Unlimited Growth • Growth is not unlimited in God's creation. A healthy organism doesn't keep growing indefinitely, but brings forth other organisms, which in their turn also multiply.

  36. Reproduction Reproduction is natural and normal. Christianity has always expanded through the multiplication of churches.

  37. American Church • “How did Christianity change from a faith spread primarily through church planting to a faith in which church planting has become an unusual practice?” • Ed Stetzer

  38. Start Two • We have sunk to such a low state, that the first duty of intelligent men is to restate the obvious. (Oliver Wendell Holmes)
