Growth Of The Church Part 2

Summary

The sermon emphasizes the importance of both inward and outward growth of the church, focusing primarily on the biblical responsibility of parents to diligently teach and train their children in the ways of the Lord. It highlights key scriptures that instruct parents to nurture, admonish, and discipline their children with love and patience, underscoring the father's role as head of the household. The message also addresses the church's responsibility to evangelize wisely, cautioning against casting holy things before those unreceptive to the gospel, represented metaphorically as dogs and swine. The preacher encourages believers to be prepared to defend their faith with knowledge and readiness, while recognizing the unworthiness and grace experienced by God's people.
