Drivers of church growth

Today I want to say that the church moves forward, which determines its development. The driver in the economy is a defining factor, the main thing that ensures development and movement forward. In the life of the Church, there are no doubt such determining factors, and they change, so it is so important for us to understand what is happening, what is now the “engine” of church development! In the ministry of Jesus there was a driver of healing and miracles, which attracted crowds of people and a more hidden driver - serving the word chosen students, which laid the foundation of the community that we now call the church. The Word of God always remains the driver of the church, this is its basis. But other drivers can change and this is absolutely normal. For example, we can see how pagan communities become in the book of Acts the driver of the development of the Church, although before the church consisted exclusively of Jews. And there we can see how not all the ministers of the Church were able to recognize this change of the driver and therefore tried to make Jews out of the pagans. We need to learn from this to recognize what leads the church to development today. Let's look at our time, in the 90s: there the driver of the development of the Church was the desire of people to find the basis of the life of philosophy, to find a god, to understand what you can “stand”, because the old foundations collapsed, and there were simply no new ones and everyone was looking for new ones them yourself. Then, the uston of society became material wealth, the “Golden Taurus” became the god of Russia and this led to the change of driver and development of the Church. Due to the fact that not everyone could find themselves in a new society, and most importantly, due to the thirst for the profit of criminal dealers, our country began to fill drugs. And the rehabilitation of drug addicts became the driver of the growth and development of the church. But now this driver is declining because the state has become overwhelmed by the scale of the problem of drug addiction and the drug addiction itself has changed, its “capture” of society has become less dramatic, many people saw and realized that drugs are really killing. And now, right before our eyes, the driver is being changed again, God again begins a new movement, and we can see and feel it. And the driver of the development of the Church is always a divine response to the "ulcers" of society. So with the earthly life of Jesus there were a lot of patients who could not get medical care. In the times of deeds, God answered the need of the Gentiles in salvation by sending AP to them. Paul. And today, even in churches, we can see a lot of problems in family relationships. In that awakening of the 90s, many believers have married and gave birth to children, and now these families are serious trials and some marriages have broken up, and children in many families do not go by the faith of their parents. If everything is so sad in the church community, then how much worse is all those who serve the Golden Taurus, live the life of this world? Society does not know what to do with abandoned children, with divorces and the country suffers from because of this. I recently read that if everything is going on as it is now, then by 2035 in Russia there will be only half of the population of the Russian people, which is now. That is, in fact, because of these family problems, we die out as a people! Friends, I believe that God has an answer and he wants to show this answer through us, through his church! But in order for the divine answer to be revealed, we need to accept his call and include what the Lord does. When we went on Tuesday to the Rebtsenter, the brothers ministers testified to us about how one person who accepted the call from God all began there. And this is the path of development of any ministry, because the seed should be sown so that the fetus grows. And I want to raise a question before us today: are we ready to sow our time and forces in order to become a response to the challenges of this society, where we live?
