About this episode
Evangelist Jacob Holman discusses the concept of church growth from a biblical perspective, focusing on both spiritual and numerical aspects.
1 Corinthians 3:5-9. When we think of church growth, we often think of numbers - as in numbers of people or numbers of dollars increasing. But when Scripture describes church growth, it often emphasizes spiritual growth, though it sometimes mentions numerical growth. In this study, Evangelist Jacob Holman considers a growing 1st-century church and then looks at us today as a growing 21st-century church.
