I was blessed yesterday, as I met many visitors and newer people attending our church. I want our church to be great, so that people will desire to come to our services, come to a personal relationship with Christ, grow and become true disciples of Christ, and to become involved in ministry.
I was readying an article by Ken Horn, and he was giving some qualities of a great Church, and I wanted to mentioned and add to the ones he stated!
Quality #1 - JESUS
If a church, is really going to be great! They must lift up the Name of Jesus!
The church is not about a pastor, programs, positions, but about Jesus! As we lift Him up, He will draw all people to Jesus! John 3:30 - "He must increase, and we must decrease." My prayer is that we will lift up Jesus in our church, more than ever before."
Quality #2 - THE WORD OF GOD
Another quality of a great church is that they are going to be a Church of the Word of God! The Word of God is needed in the church today! See 2 Timothy 3: 14-17.
People need to have a desire for the truth of God's Word! More than just hearing the Word of God, we need to be doers of the Word if we want to see the victory that Christ has promised to His children! I want you to know that as your pastor, we will preach the Word, and encourage you to obey the Word of God. (Psalm 119:11)
I have listed two qualities of a great church, and I know that we are becoming great because of lifting up Jesus, and pointing everything to the Word of God!
Check back tomorrow as I continue this thought of what makes a church great!
