The Lads to Leaders and Leaderettes of Hickory Knoll have been learning how to lead and grow in the Lord's church. Were you put in someone's life "for such a time as this?" This sermon is designed to help each member of the congregation be aware that they have a valuable part in church growth. Beyond the obvious truths, (A solid foundation is built on God's Word. A Christian should be active in God's will and attend church faithfully...etc.) church growth stems from realizing the church is suppose to grow, understanding everyone is expected to participate, and knowing Jesus' mission of the church. Therefore, each person should love the Lord, love His church, and love souls. We all want the church to grow. Sometimes we begin to believe that the way to do it is to listen to some "outside" guru and adapt the latest crazes. Romans 12 Paul shows us the secrets to growing a church in love.

In the process, a man befriends them who turns their belief about God, their church, and their faith upside down!
