INTRODUCTION
When things are done God’s way, it always works.
When things are not done in God’s way, it never works.
God’s system for the church to grow – Ephesians 4:11-13
IT IS GOD WHO MAKES THE CHURCH GROW
Many churches do not grow because the pastor does not use God’s system, but rather has his own “finds” and wants to make the church grow in his own way.
If God is in a church, everything changes. Signs, wonders, salvations, etc. happen
It is God who makes the church grow!
If God does not appear in a church, there are no results.
It is impossible for God to be in the Church and for the Church not to grow.
If we want to have a church where God is present, we have to make the Church by God’s system.
THE PASTOR’S ROLE
It is not to preach, give pastoral consultations and/or bless the brethren. But it is:
1st – train the brothers;
2nd-putting the brothers to work
When the pastor decides to train the brethren and put the brethren to work, God approaches the Church and signs and wonders begin to happen.
The pastor, whether old or young, must decide to do the Church God’s way.
In other words, the pastor:
-will train the brothers;
-make disciples;
-spend time with those people;
-put others to work;
-direct the brothers to do the work = be a leader
THE ROLE OF THE BROTHERS
The brother has to understand that if he does not serve God, he will not be very blessed.
The aim of the brother is to lead the new convert to become a disciple, a follower of Jesus;
THE PARABLE OF THE 10 TALENTS – Matthew 25
This man distributed talents. The ones who received 5 and 3 talents multiplied.
The one who received only one talent hid it.
God turns away from this kind of person because he is in disobedience = disobeying authority
Serving God is not an option, but a condition for salvation.
Unbelievers will be condemned to hell:
1st – because they do not accept the plan of salvation;
2-because they did not use their talents to serve God;
We must serve God and lead people to serve God so that:
-there are more salvations;
-transform the convert into a disciple;
