[H] [PREACHING LESSON 8:] SOME GOOD BIBLICAL BASIS OF THE DYNAMIC GROWTH OF THE CHURCH


(Ilang mabubuting biblikal na batayan ng lubusang paglago ng simbahan)
ACTS 6:7 “And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.”

Panimula:
a.     Mahalaga na malaman ng bawat Kristiyano ang paglago ng iglesya lokal at makita nila ang pangangailangan sa gawain. Para alam nila kung saan sila maaaring makatulong sa paglago ng gawain.
b.    Alam na alam ng iglesya lokal ng Jerusalem ang kanilang paglago sapagkat ang bawat miyembro ay sama-samang naglilingkod sa Panginoon.
ACTS 2:41 “Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added [unto them] about three thousand souls.”

Biblikal na basehan ng malagong iglesya lokal:

1. THE SPIRITUALITY OF THE LOCAL CHURCH IS A GOOD BASIS
(Ang espiritwalidad ng lokal na iglesya ay isang mahusay na batayan)
ACTS 6:5-7 “And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch:
Acts 6:6 Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid [their] hands on them.
Acts 6:7 And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.”

a.     Mahalagang batayan ng iglesya lokal ang pagiging espritwal sa kanilang buhay Kristiyano sapagkat ang Banal na Espiritu ang kumikilos at nabibigay ng kapangyarihan na mamuhay sila nang may kabanalan.
ACTS 1:8 “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”
ACTS 2:4-8 “And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Acts 2:5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
Acts 2:6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.
Acts 2:7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilæans?
Acts 2:8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?”

b.    Ang pamumuhay nang may kabanalan ay susi ng pagiging mabunga ng iglesya lokal.
JOHN 15:3-4 “Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
Jn 15:4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.”

2. THE UNITY OF THE LOCAL CHURCH IS A GOOD BASIS
(Ang pagkakaisa ng lokal na iglesya ay isang mahusay na batayan)
PSALMS 133:1-3 “Behold, how good and how pleasant [it is] for brethren to dwell together in unity!
Pss 133:2 [It is] like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, [even] Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;
Pss 133:3 As the dew of Hermon, [and as the dew] that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, [even] life for evermore.”

a.     Mahalaga ang pagkakaisa ng bawat miyembro ng iglesya lokal dahil mas lalo tayong magiging epektibo sa pag-abot ng mas maraming kaluluwa kay Kristo.
b.    Walang magiging hadlang para abutin ang malaking programa ng iglesya lokal.
PSALMS 133:2 “[It is] like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, [even] Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;”

c.      Masagana ang pagpapala ng Diyos sa iglesya lokal na may pagkakaisa.
PSALMS 133:3 “As the dew of Hermon, [and as the dew] that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, [even] life for evermore.”

3. THE SINCERITY OF GIVING OF THE LOCAL CHURCH IS A GOOD BASIS
(Ang katapatan ng pagbibigay ng lokal na iglesya ay isang mahusay na batayan)
2CORINTHIANS 8:8-9 “I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.
2Cor 8:9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.”

a.     Ang sakripisyong pagbibigay ng mga taga-Macedonia ay katunayan ng kanilang pagmamahal sa Diyos.
b.    Ang Panginoong Hesus ang kanilang magandang huwaran upang sila ay magbigay sa Panginoon nang may lubos na katapatan ng puso.
2CORINTHIANS 8:9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.”

c.      Sinabi ni Hesus na mas mapalad ang nagbibigay kaysa tumatanggap.
ACTS 20:35 “I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.”

4. THE AVAILABILITY IN SOULWINNING OF THE LOCAL CHURCH IS A GOOD BASIS
(Ang pagiging-available sa pag-aakay ng kaluluwa ng lokal na iglesya ay isang mahusay na batayan)
ACTS 5:42 “And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.”

a.     Mabilis ang paglago ng iglesya lokal ng Jerusalem dahil sa kanilang paglalaan ng maraming panahon sa pag-aakay ng kaluluwa.
b.    Laging nagsasanay si Hesus ng marami pang tagapag-akay ng kaluluwa.
LUKE 10:1-2 “After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come.
Lk 10:2 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly [is] great, but the labourers [are] few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.”

c.      Laging hinahamon ng Panginoong Hesus ang iglesya lokal na mag-ani pa ng marami pang kaluluwa.
JOHN 4:35 “Say not ye, There are yet four months, and [then] cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.”

Pangwakas:
Ang mga batayang ito ay totoong maliwanag sa iglesya lokal na patuloy na nakakaranas ng lubos-lubos na paglago sa kanilang iglesya lokal.
ACTS 2:46-47 “And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,
Acts 2:47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.”

Pagpalain kayong lahat ng Diyos.
