382 – How do you face opposition to your church going forward?

When you’re involved in church, there’s usually a lot of folks interested in helping the church grow. It might be trying to encourage new members to join the church. 

It might literally be a building project or helping to start or plant a new church. It could be helping the whole membership grow spiritually. 

The odd thing is that all too often when you and other church members are focused on building, rebuilding, growing spiritually, and expanding the reach of your church, there are others who oppose this progress.

Sometimes the opposition comes from outside the church, but there are times the resistance actually comes from inside the church organization itself.

In this week’s episode, we’re going to look at 

  • Examples in the Bible where there was resistance to those who were building the church 
  • How they overcame it 
  • How you can use these same ideas to overcome any resistance and opposition to spiritual progress at your church
  • Jesus's promise about his church that is a game changer 

Never be afraid of opposition to your church's progress. It's often a sign that you're doing something right, that you're going forward. Trust God to guide you in the process.
