Pastor G

It covered the readings in Acts Chapter 2 Verses 1-4 38-39 titled "From a crowd to a congregation" Today Pastor G John Girton talked about the difference between a crowd and a congregation. (Pertaining to the church) Some churches are crowds and some are congregations. Pastor G talked about swelling and growing. When something swells there is a indication of an infection. Meaning members can infect a church and cause the church not to grow. Churches aren't moving because members drag mess into the church, keep it with them, and could possible infect other members. We are suppose to bring our mess to the altar and leave it there! Give it to God and trust Him. Pastor G talked about growth. Growing is not about numbers.
