In this video, we address a common misconception within the Christian community: the idea that a small church is a dying church. Many believers, both Calvinists and Non-Calvinists, are under the false assumption that church growth equates to spiritual health, while smaller congregations often face undue pressure to "grow" or risk being seen as irrelevant. This video challenges that narrative and offers a biblical perspective on ecclesiology and the true meaning of church vitality.If you're a Christian, YouTuber, or someone interested in understanding the dynamics of church growth, this video is for you. We dive deep into the biblical teachings on church life and community, helping you to view a smaller congregation through the lens of scripture rather than societal expectations. Whether you're a Calvinist or a Non-Calvinist, this video will offer valuable insights into the significance of faithful preaching, biblical teaching, and authentic Christian community—regardless of church size.Join us as we explore how a small church can still be a thriving and effective ministry, offering sound doctrine and nurturing spiritual growth.

How can you lead (and love) a church that is dying? Thom and Sam discuss this listener-submitted question. No church should die, but some will. Some pastors must shepherd congregations on what amounts to spiritual hospice care. It's a difficult calling, but there are some ways to glorify God, even as a church goes through the process of closing. The post Leading (and Loving) a Dying Church appeared first on Church Answers.

What's interesting is in that, sometimes, Jesus DOESN'T stick to the pattern. That's on purpose, because Jesus wants us to pay attention in these moments. This week, Jesus messes with the pattern. He's done it already with the church in Smyrna, and he does it with the church in Sardis, but in the exact opposite way.

Send us a Text Message.Church growth and healthy youth ministries go hand in hand.  Unfortunately, student ministry is often looked on as an afterthought by church leadership instead of being a vital part of the church.  The truth is, student ministry is not only a key component of the church NOW, but it's the future of your church as well.  It's not just "babysitting."In this episode, we uncover the profound impact that youth ministries have on church growth overall.  It's essential for senior pastors and church leadership to provide robust support to youth pastors because a thriving youth ministry not only attracts young families but also drives community engagement and long-term church expansion through positive word-of-mouth. Today's engaged students are tomorrow's committed parents and church leaders, and their journey starts now.Are you looking to grow the size and health of your youth ministry?

Many churches are dead or dying. They have a lot of activities and busyness, but are spiritually bankrupt. Even churches with great reputations and programs can be spiritually empty and not know it. The church at Sardis is an example of a church with a reputation but they were dead on the inside, useless in God's service. Still there were a few faithful that Jesus encourages the church to build upon. The reward for overcomers of not having one's name removed from the Book of Life is misunderstood by some. We will explore its meaning. We can learn how to stay alive, vibrant, and useful to the Lord.

In this week's conversation between Dr. James Emery White and co-host Alexis Drye, they discuss a very difficult topic: when, how, and who decides whether to close a church? It doesn't matter if it's a church that's been around for decades, or a church plant only a couple years into their journey, it's never an easy decision to grapple with. But between the great resignation of pastors, the widespread denominational decline and the rapid closing of churches across the country, it's a decision that many churches are having to face. Episode Links If you're new to the podcast, you may want to check out some past episodes where the conversation has touched on some of the background issues that led to today's discussion. These are: CCP4: On Pastors and Moral Failings, CCP15: On Denominational Decline, and CCP30: On Quiet Quitting and the Church. As Dr. White said during the conversation, the heart of the people making up the church has much to do with whether the decision should be made to save a dying church. Two blogs that he wrote illustrate what it looks like to have a church community who are all-in - “Anything for the Mission” - versus one where they're completely turned inward - “Our Spiritual Pandemic of Narcissism.” Many listeners may be interested in finding out more about the decision that Mecklenburg Community Church made to close three of its Charlotte-area campuses in order to make a more strategic missional investment in its Online Campus. To read all about that story and more be sure to check out Dr. White's latest book Hybrid Church: Rethinking the Church for a Post-Christian Digital Age. At the end of today's conversation, Dr. White mentioned a blog that is released annually by the Church & Culture team that serves as an encouragement to pastors who may be struggling with a church that is either dying or failing to thrive.

Shownotes:According to a Gallup poll released in March of 2021, less than half of Americans belong to a church, mosque, or synagogue. The politicization of evangelical Christianity has resulted in utter disillusionment, specifically among young Christians who were once eagerly committed to the ideals of the faith. Christians and non-Christians alike are longing for truth and openness in conversation within the church, as well as a sense of connection rooted in hope, grace, and love.In this episode, Chris and Eddie are joined by Dr. Russell Moore, the President of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention. Moore's recent article “Losing Our Religion” addresses the ways many churches do not seem to believe what they teach and the reasons many have chosen to disaffiliate from the church. Moore speaks of the ways in which he was disillusioned as a fifteen year old by Bible Belt Christianity, his journey back through fear to a genuine faith, and his courage to stand for mercy and justice in the public square. Throughout this conversation and in his work, Moore poses a hopeful vision for the future of the church rooted in the promises of Jesus rather than cultural agendas.Resources:Follow Russell Moore on the web:https://www.russellmoore.com Read Russell Moore's article “Losing Our Religion” hereCheck out Russell Moore's books here:https://www.russellmoore.com/books/ Follow Russell Moore on social media:https://www.facebook.com/russellmoore https://twitter.com/drmoore https://www.instagram.com/russellmoore/
