On Being A Strong Church

Stan & Josh discuss six essential elements of what it means to be a strong church as per Paul's letter to the Church at Ephesus in 1st Timothy. Discussion topics include: 

1. Strong churches guard the content and spread the Gospel. 
2. Strong churches have men who pray passionately for the lost. 
3. Strong churches have leadership pursuing godly lifestyles. 
4. Strong churches discern cultural stumbling blocks and stay strong in the Word. 
5. Strong churches function as a loving family and, together, they care for the needy of the community and care for the minister. 
6. Strong churches pursue godliness and righteousness, not wealth or notoriety.
