Is church growth about building a big church or helping people get to know and love God? Jesus is God’s solution for people to come into a relationship with Him. As Jesus Himself said, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (Jn. 14:6). Notice, He is not only the way and the life but also the TRUTH.
How can we help people get to know and love God if we candy coat life in Christ to get people in to our churches?
