Growing up in Every Way 6-30-19

Summary

The sermon explores the dynamics of church community and growth, focusing on First Baptist's recent transformation, with 70% of the congregation being new within four years. The pastor uses a personal anecdote about a middle-of-the-night electrical issue to illustrate how God is actively forming and shaping their church community beyond traditional methods. The key message emphasizes transitioning from being merely a welcoming church to becoming an inviting church, which requires intentional relationship-building and a mutual understanding of what it means to be the family of God in their specific location.
