Church Planting

 

And when they had preached the gospel to that city and made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch. - Acts 14:21

 

God’s plan from the very beginning has been that mankind would reproduce.  His blessings to Abraham were to go to Abraham’s descendants.  This principle is obvious in nature, but unfortunately a little less obvious in the church.  Since healthy people reproduce, so should healthy churches.  Church planting is a difficult proposition, but a worthwhile effort -- a proposition that becomes much easier when it is a driving force behind a church’s existence.  The apostle Paul didn’t find it very difficult to plant churches, and neither should the church today.
