Topic: Staying Small

In many churches, there is a desire to keep things as they are. There is a desire to keep the church just as it is and the idea of growth in the church is push aside. This idea of staying small, regardless of the size of the church, hurts the church and hurts the work of God. If we are to reach the world for Christ we must learn to think big. If we are to reach the world for Christ we must learn to be aggressive in our love for others. Here are some questions to ponder: Do you suppose there is a connection between whole families not worshiping in church and the desire to stay small within the church? Do you suppose the desire to stay small comes out to others who are not worshipping in a particular church? Do you suppose the desire to stay small comes out to the children in the church or comes out to the children in the church's region of influence? Is there any way for a church to stay small without keeping people out of the church? How are we to reach out and help the Lord save His lost sheep and still keep the church small?

In every church, in every believer, there has to be a passion to serve, build, and witness. In every church, in every believer, there has to be a fire to serve, build, and witness.
