TITLE: THE
NEED OF THE CHURCH BEFORE US
Titus 3:14; “Our people must learn to devote
themselves to doing what is good, in order that they may provide for daily
necessities and not live unproductive lives.”
Apostle Paul wrote the epistle to the growing church in his time. The
background was, Timothy was at Ephesus; while Titus was at Crete Island. He
wrote to fulfill the needs of the church or to take the church into the next
level. They should never be weary of doing good works. That is the purpose of
our mission. The church has got the privilege of giving birth and leading the
believers into maturity in the spiritual children lives. This is the time to…
1. The need of
extending and expanding the Kingdom of God:
We are called to extend the Kingdom of God. The gap of population
growth and the growth of the kingdom of God. The population of our nation is
growing rapidly comparing to the growth of Christianity in our nation.
Leadership must enlarge from its territory.
2. The need of
Educating and Edifying the Believers:
Christian education gives the idea of producing healthy spiritual
children with sound doctrinal knowledge. We cannot feed all level of children
in one vessel, but we should understand the different level of their spiritual
growth. It is an ongoing commitment to continue in the church level, we need
commitment to carry on the mission. We always preach the message from scriptural
and moral truths; but we fail to educate them in the word of the Lord. It is
very hard to fine proper teachers of the word of God. Through proper education
we can empower the church through the help of the Holy Spirit.
3. The need of Equipping
and Empowering the Believers:
Equipping the believers bother nothing about the environment but
about the attitude of the Lord. Many people in today are church looking for
pleasant environment to worship the Lord. The visuals and audio arrangements
are nothing to do with the healthy and growing church. The only motive of
growing church is to equip and empower the church believers. We must always
concentrate on the health of the believers in spiritual sense.
