1. Competent leaders - Leaders of healthy churches focus on cultivating the ability of other Christians to preach. They do not use laid-off workers as "helpers" to achieve their goals and realize their vision. On the contrary, they In the Transformation Pyramid, church leaders help Christians tap into the spiritual potential God has given them. These pastors equip, support, encourage, and guide individuals so that they become who God wants them to be.
2. With gifts Oriented Ministry - The role of church leadership is to help its members identify their gifts and engage them in appropriate ministry. When Christians serve in the areas of their gifts, they can often use less of their own strength and Make more use of the power given by the Holy Spirit. In this way, ordinary people can also complete extraordinary work.
3. Passionate spirituality - Are Christians as enthusiastic as "on fire" in our churches? Do they live committed lives, living out their faith with joy and enthusiasm? A few weeks ago I queued in front of Brownsville Church in Pensacola, Florida for over eight hours waiting for the door to open. When the doors opened at 6pm, there were so many people lined up in front of me to find a seat in the main sanctuary. .I eventually found a seat in front of the video screen in the chapel next door. People were so hungry for God. At the end of evangelist Steve Hill’s sermon, hundreds of people ran to the sermon to receive the true God. Many of them had been new New humanity. God is re-establishing a passionate spiritual life in the church today.
4. Functional structure - Some people think that "structure" and "life" are opposites. Both are necessary. Biological research shows that the difference between inanimate matter and living matter does not lie in their materials, but in the structural relationship of each part. When his spirit is poured into the invisible clay, life and the outside are formed. When God has injected His Spirit into the church today, and He has given the church structure and form. The new cells of the church are the flexible structure of life that God has brought to the church.
5. Inspiring worship—the worship of your church Is worship inspiring? Some cellular churches shoot themselves in the foot by minimizing worship. Paul preached in front of people and in homes (Acts 20:20). We need both. !
6. The unified group - Schwartz Christie said: "If we consider a certain principle to be "the most important" then there is no doubt that this is multiplied for a group. They It must be an ecumenical group, not just discussing biblical passages, but applying the information therein to daily life. In these groups, members can bring matters and issues of direct personal relevance."
7. Needs-driven preaching - We are called to use our gifts to fulfill the Great Commission. Every Christian must use his gifts to evangelize and encourage non-Christians with whom he has a relationship Contact local churches.
8. Love relationships - Growing churches have significantly higher "love quotients" than stagnant or declining churches. Believers in healthy growing churches will be enthusiastic Invite others into your home as a normal part of Christian life. People don't want to hear us talk about love, they want to experience how Christ's love works.
