Church Growth

Church growth must be measured in a couple of ways: (1) Physical Growth is the number of people, upward or downward trends. The physical is just what we see with our eyes. (2) Spiritual Growth is just as important and is the ability to see with the eye of faith. When God told Abraham, “You will have children as the sands of the sea,” could Abraham with the physical eye see such a sight (Genesis 22:17)? However, with the eye of faith, we see God is still blessing him. Paul wrote, “We [baptized believers] are Abraham’s [seed] children and heirs of the Promise” (Galatians 3:24-28). Shouldn’t we see with both sets of eyes?
