THE CHEMISTRY OF A BIG CHURCH

Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into Him who is the head, into Christ,
Ephesians 4:15

BUILDING BIGGER

- The world does not revolve around you.
Be considerate of others. (Phil. 2:3)
Big people celebrate the triumphs and joys of others. - You always have reasons to be grateful.
Despite how unfair you think life is, be more thankful. (Col. 3:15)
Big people are thankful for what they have rather than what they think they should have. - Your wealth is not measured by how much you get, but by how of it you give.
Share your toys with others. (1Tim. 6:18)
“You will get all you want in life, if you help enough other people get what they want.” – Zig Ziglar - Speak well of others who have done better than you.
Bless and do not curse. (Rom. 12:14) - Let go of offences and forgive as a lifestyle.
Choose not to recall or rehearse to others how someone has hurt you. (Eph. 4:32)
Big people are more bruised and bumped more than small people. The difference is that small people talk about their bruises more.
Big people build people.
Big Churches aren’t about numbers because they are really churches of big people.
“If you go looking for a friend, you’re going to find they’re scarce. If you go out to be a friend, you’ll find them everywhere.”

INVESTING BIGGER
¶ The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
Second Corinthians 9:6
Second Corinthians 9:6

Big people don’t become big by accident, elapsed time, or just by the company they keep. They become big by investing into their souls, their hearts, their minds, their relationships, and their futures.
Big churches aren’t limited by how last Sunday’s, or the coming Sunday’s, service went. They are limited by how much they invest.
GROWING BIGGER

from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.
Ephesians 4:16
Ephesians 4:16
One of the hallmarks of a growing church is that its people are growing – especially its leaders. As Ephesians 4:16 challenges, there is always room for the growing believer to grow in love toward Christ and others. A big Christian leader is characterised by humility and love.
BUILDING, INVESTING, GROWING
