The kind of growth experienced in the early church is what many of us would like to see.
Church Growth as Experienced by the Early Church Requires God’s Power
God’s power is essential if we want to see the kind conversion growth experienced in the early church.
The Steering the Church Toward God’s Power Leadership Guide breaks down Acts 2:47 to note four realities about church growth in the Early Church and considers what happens when we don’t rely on God’s power to grow the Church. This resource also looks at 24 other tasks for which leaders may be responsible.
To have the kind of church God grows requires that we tap into His power. Click below to review the various means through which we access His power. Eventually we will look at each of these means specifically as they relate to church growth so be sure to subscribe to the Practicum to get e-mail notice of new posts.
