PURPOSE:Growing Christ’s Church is never about how big we can get, it’s not about large numbersor an impressive building. It is about a loving relationship with God and a desire to follow the Great Commission from Jesus Christ,
Mt 28:19,20"Go
therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to
observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to
the end of the age." (NAS95) Planting the seed of truth, the gospel,(1 Corinthians 15: 1-4) in a lost and dying world.It's about a loving, Christ centered fellowship and a desire to help people grow in their relationship with God.It is all about His will and not ours.It’s all about His power and not ours.It's about hearts and minds changed, and lives transformed.It's about trusting and allowing God to supply the increase both spiritually and numerically, remembering we are His servants.The Apostle Paul said:1Co
3:5-6 What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? Servants through whom you
believed, even as theLord gave opportunity to each one.I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing the growth. (NASB)Paul
was reminding the Corinthians that even though God had used them as a
means to increase, it was God who provided the growth.As a smaller but growing group of Christians, here at Greenville Church of Christ-our trust is in God's power to provide for us in all things including our growth.
The invitation to worship, fellowship, study and grow with us is always AN OPEN INVITATION. We rely on God's unerring inspired Word, The Bible, to guide us in our relationshipwith Him through His Son, Jesus Christ.Come just you are wherever you may be on journey through this world.
