The vibrant growing church MUST exalt the Preeminence of the Word of God! The Word of God is the cornerstone of all that the church believes and all of the goals that we strive for.
Churches today will far too often focus on catchy programs, slick advertising, gimmicky lesson series, feel good advice messages, etc. People are starving for truth! People want an Absolute in a world of constant change. People are looking for something solid while everything else in their lives is unstable. Your congregation will thrive under strong, Bible based preaching and teaching.
Without the Word of God – we are merely teaching opinions. Our opinions are worthless in eternity but the Word of God will never fail and will never fade away!
Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
II Timothy 4:2
