The Natural Church
Churches get bigger in many ways, but how does a church GROW? To illustrate how spiritual growth happens, Jesus tells a story about the natural world--about a seed that is cultivated by a farmer--but grows "all by itself." Paul talks about planting and watering, but God being the one who brings the growth. What are the conditions that bring about this kind of growth? Learning from Christian Schwartz' Natural Church Development, we will go on a journey to discover how God is calling us to grow--and what is getting in our way as followers of Christ and as a church.
