What growing Churches have in Common

In an article written by Murray Robertson I am reading what growing Churches have in common. (NZ Baptist, February 2013, page 3)

I am learning from the article  that “clear Biblical preaching,” “a commitment to consistent Biblical Preaching” and “good expository preaching”  is the foundation of growing Churches.

I am also learning that the result, (outcome) is what I call Personal Evangelism. (PE) Murray Robertson says, “The thing that struck me most of all about the group was their obvious  sense of joy in speaking to others about the gospel.” I spoke about my faith  in the Lord Jesus Christ this morning. I talked to a complete stranger. We talked while walking together on the road.

In between comes that the members of growing churches are focused, their themes are Empowerment and Discipleship. Murray Robertson says about Discipleship: “This was seen not simply as the accumulation of knowledge about the faith but a capacity to let lifestyles be shaped by the values of the gospel.”  The members of growing churches are also from many different nationalities.
