How do you build a strong church?

The only way to build Gods church is through Jesus. You have to build the way Jesus built his ministry. Jesus lived his life as an example of how to build ministry and grow his church.

As disciples we are called to embrace the ministry of Jesus. When people come to church they want to see the heart of Jesus. They want to see and fell Gods love. The brother hood that is created through true christianity.

Matthew 4:23-25; John 6:38-40

One of the reason came to earth was to keep the saved, saved. Part of our mission is to help each other get to heaven. When our church represents who Jesus is then people will take notice and want to follow the way they followed Jesus.

2 Timothy 2:16 Every disciple is capable to teach one another. We have to be humble in allowing our brothers to teach us and hold us accountable. Part of helping each other making it to heaven has to do with teaching, correcting, rebuking, and training each other in righteousness.

Jesus impacted what ever community he was in. He created new communities. Jesus also came to call sinners and he was comfortable in doing so. Am I judgmental or do I call people higher with out making them feel judged.

Jesus life created buzz that caused people to share the "come and see" approach. Come and see what God is doing. Come and see the lives that are being changed. Come and see the miracles that God is doing...etc.

It can be easy to share "come and see" but we need to honor God in being the example that people will be able to come and see God through our lives. We must set the example!

Jesus came not to be served but to serve. Everyone in Gods church needs to serve in some capacity. How can you serve? Serving also has to do with being out of your self and giving to others through relationships. Serving emotionally by being there for people that need relationships.

Following Jesus in creating his church is all about lordship. If we are subject to Jesus and his authority, then our lives should show it. When Jesus speaks we should react and it should be evident in our lives! What is Jesus calling me to do that I am not willing to do?
