Growth Of The Church Part I

Summary

The sermon emphasizes two types of growth in the church: personal spiritual growth in grace and knowledge, and numerical growth through evangelism and raising children in the faith. It highlights the importance of humility, valuing children as blessings and an inheritance from the Lord, and the responsibility of parents to train and nurture their children in the ways of the Lord. Biblical examples and commands are given to encourage faithful teaching and family devotion to ensure the continuation and strengthening of the church. The message stresses that without God's blessing, all labor is in vain, and true growth comes from God.
