10 Things You Have to Know About Growing Churches
10. Growth is like human growth – in spurts. You can account for it, plan for it, prepare for it, but you can’t ever quite predict it.

Faith Works By Love
For years the faith movement has been telling people that “faith works by love”. It’s true, that’s how faith works, but they misunderstood “by love”, telling us that faith only works when we love.

Hi there, As the pastor of Tree of Life Church, we are unashamed of the fact that we are a grace church. Our heart beats with the sound of God’s unconditional, unmerited, undeserved, unending, unfathomable, unbeatable grace. Paul said that it is by grace we are saved (Ephesians 2.5) and that it was the grace of theContinue reading “The Deception of Hypo-Grace”
Planning Your Preaching!
One of the things that I often get asked is “how can I preach better?” or “how can I preach with a better response or better results?” The fact is that preaching the gospel is the power of God – that’s how people get saved, get healed, get transformed. Preaching is one of the singleContinue reading “Planning Your Preaching!”
Church Planting
A sociologist, after studying the spread of Christianity across the world in several countries, said that there is no single more effective way of increasing the number of active Christians in an area of the world is to plant new churches. As someone who has – as of last weekend – planted two churches inContinue reading “Church Planting”
