Listen "Growing Pains: The Challenges and Opportunities of a Growing Church"
Episode Synopsis
If you have been around long enough to notice, it is safe to say that North Highlands is a growing church. For example, our membership has increased by 60% in the last 18 months. How good is God! Being a part of a growing church is exciting. There are new people to meet. New ministries to start. God is on the move. It’s awesome. But “church growth” is not without its challenges. This week, we’ll explore how the early church navigated these growing pains and what it means for us today. -- Questions for Reflection & Discussion Why do you think the early church’s rapid growth brought both excitement and challenges? How might unmet needs and fractured unity affect the health of our church community? What specific gifts or strengths do you bring to the church? How can you use these to help strengthen the church’s mission, unity, and care for others? The apostles remained focused on prayer and the ministry of the Word even amid practical demands. How can you guard against distractions and stay focused on our core mission as a church?
