Listen "Don’t Build Your Church on Church People! by Pastor Nigel Brown | WALTHAM FOREST CONF 2025"
Episode Synopsis
“You cannot build your church on religious people.” In this powerful opening night sermon of the Waltham Forest Conference, Pastor Nigel Brown issues a timely and prophetic warning: If we prioritize church growth over new birth, we may lose the very culture that fuels our calling.Using Acts 5 as his foundation, Pastor Brown contrasts the “rest who dared not join” with those born again into a supernatural, Holy Ghost culture. He exposes the dangers of importing religious Christians rather than reaching sinners, and passionately defends the core values of evangelism, discipleship, church planting, and world evangelism.With stirring illustrations, historical insight into the Salvation Army, and testimonies of transformation, this message will challenge every pastor, disciple, and believer to preserve the culture that God has entrusted to our fellowship.📖 Scripture: Acts 5:12–16https://TakingTheLandPodcast.comSUBSCRIBE TO PREMIUM FOR MORE:• Subscribe for only $3/month on Supercast: https://taking-the-land.supercast.com/• Subscribe for only $3.99/month on Spotify: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/taking-the-land/subscribe• Subscribe for only $4.99/month on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3vy1s5bChapters00:00 The Principle of Dependency in Life02:45 Understanding the Poverty Mindset06:10 Breaking the Poverty Mindset09:03 The Importance of Generosity12:13 Faith and Financial Responsibility13:59 The Mixed Multitude and Church Identity15:21 Preserving Church Culture18:23 The Dangers of Religious Immigration21:18 The Impact of Cultural Christians24:11 Navigating Church Growth and Identity35:40 Cultural Encounters and Personal Growth39:15 The Power of Church Culture44:03 Emphasizing Male Leadership and Discipleship46:25 Understanding Kingdom Culture50:02 The Importance of Church Identity55:13 The Call to Evangelism and Outreach59:17 The Role of Culture in Church GrowthShow NotesALL PROCEEDS GO TO WORLD EVANGELISMLocate a CFM Church near you: https://cfmmap.orgWe need five-star reviews!
