The Church That Succeeds

              “There shalt have good success (Jo 1:8)

The ( Church of Christ has as much right to look forward to spiritual success as any business has to expect commercial success. God promises His people success if they will fulfill the conduction which are made for it.  to Bible principles are the only hope of succeed for a church or any of it’s members if a Churchill wants to success it must.

Today we will be looking at four principles for success of a church of God

I.   Preach the truths of the Gospel

A. Not a new gospel but the old one anew

1.Death burial, resurrection (I Co 15;1-4)

My Interrupter in India would always say, "each new day gives us new reason to pray to God, to praise His Name, and to proclaim His Love"

B.  Because of God’s great love for us and not our great works (Ro 5:8 – Titus 3:4-7)

(I Chro 16:23) Tells us this way “Proclaim the good news of His salvation from day today”.

II. The church that succeeds must live the truth it believes.

A.  The truths preached from our pulpits must be lived by the people in the pews. (Ja 1:22)

B.   What the truth need today is, to be lived – and should take the opportunity to express itself in deeds.

Paul tells us. Titus 2:2-3

III. The church that succeeds must have a humanitarian love for the people.

A.   The work Christ did He left for His church to carry on "The work I do you shall do also – ye even more"

B.   Human interests must come before material interests

C.   The people of God must have a saving love for the people that are lost.

IV. The church that succeeds must be a soul – winning church

A.   The great commission is still the greatest work of the church

Why not ruptured all Christians to Heaven at Salvation? The reason God left His church in the world was to save the world though witnessing of His great Love.

B.   It is not only true that the individual who wins souls is wise, but the church which wins souls is wise.

C.   The church must reproduce itself

“Everytime you breath (4) people die never knowing Jesus as Lord and Savior of their lives (Lk 14:23)says

  “ Go into the highway and hedges”

Conclusion

The church that succeed “not only” must “preach the truth”, “live the truth”, “be a humanitarian” and “soul winner”

But

"Love the Lord thy God with all thy “Soul” and all they might"

“Love thy neighbor as thyself love” Love conquer all. Love for God is going, witnessing, praying pledging It does Not Make deals with the Devil !

The End does not justify the means
