Growth in service

The lecture addresses the necessity of growth in Christian service as an essential nature of successful ministry, so that growth is continuous and varied, not stopping or remaining stagnant.

Aspects of Growth
The speaker explains that growth has two faces: quantitative growth in numbers, branches and activities, and qualitative growth in spirit, spiritual influence, and sanctification among servants and those served.

Historical and Spiritual Examples
He cites the early church’s course and its spread from 12 to large crowds, and the lives of apostles like Paul and Mark as models of service energy and their constant pursuit of the Kingdom of God.

Organization and Outreach of Service
He calls for making service maps and knowing neighborhoods, homes and those in need, and not limiting oneself to the local church circle but sending missions to cities, villages and new places.

Issues and Obstacles to Growth
He warns against internal conflicts and lethargy that hinder growth, and against confining service to a narrow circle or being preoccupied with buildings and money instead of serving the poor and spreading the gospel.

Training of Servants and Their Consecration
He demands increasing the number of servants and speakers, and providing spiritual and knowledge preparation for servants so they can be consecrated and serve in conferences, preaching and leading the people.

Love for the Kingdom Spirit
He stresses that true love for the Kingdom drives the servant to seek the salvation of souls everywhere and continuously, not to be satisfied with stopping or complacency.

Practical Conclusion
He calls to take service seriously, actively, and with organization, balanced between meekness and vigorous work, so that it bears fruit and the church grows spiritually and numerically.
