Strategic Church-Planting (2 Timothy 2:22)

Big Idea: Strategic Church Planting isn’t really about church planting. It’s about Multiplication

1. Multiplication is an invitation into the creative work of God (Get 9:1; 17:6; 35:11)
2. Multiplication is tethered to, but dependent upon, our obedience (Jer 23:3)
3. Multiplication is about Jesus (Luke 9:1-2; 10:1)
4. Multiplication is a work of the Spirit (Acts 1:15; 2:41; 4:4; 5:14; 14:23)
5. Multiplication happens in and through the Church (2 Timothy 2:2)
