Overview
¿Cómo lograr que más de 5,000 personas asistan a tu iglesia?
Casi todos los pastores sienten la presión de llenar los asientos. Mientras más personas, más éxito, estabilidad y mayor influencia divina, ¿no es así? A menudo, en su afán por ver fruto y crecimiento, los pastores y líderes adoptan mecanismos mundanos para el crecimiento de la iglesia que terminan socavando el mismo llamado que Dios les ha dado.
Charles Spurgeon, el príncipe de los predicadores, pastoreó a más de 5,000 personas en una época mucho antes que las “mega iglesias” fueran comunes. Pero quizás te sorprenda saber que la visión ministerial de Spurgeon no era pragmática. No tomó prestadas las «mejores prácticas» de los líderes empresariales de su tiempo. Su visión del ministerio era decididamente bíblica y teológica—y es una visión que deberíamos adoptar más de un siglo después.
En Spurgeon, el pastor, Geoff Chang, director de la Biblioteca Spurgeon en el Seminario Midwestern, muestra cómo Spurgeon modeló una visión teológica del ministerio en áreas como la predicación, el bautismo y la Cena del Señor, la membresía significativa, el liderazgo bíblico, la formación de líderes y más.
How would you get more than 5,000 people to show up at your church?
Almost every pastor feels the pressure to get people in the doors. More people means more success, more stability, and more godly influence, right? Often, in their zeal for fruit and growth, pastors and church leaders adopt worldly mechanisms for church growth that end up undermining the very call God has given them.
Charles Spurgeon, the Prince of Preachers, was a pastor to well over 5,000 people in a day long before "mega-churches" were the norm. But you might be surprised to know that Spurgeon's vision for ministry was not pragmatic. He did not borrow "best practices" from the business leaders of his day. Rather, his ministry vision was decidedly, staunchly biblical and theological in nature—and it was a ministry vision we ought to adopt more than a century later.
In Spurgeon the Pastor, Geoff Chang, director of the Spurgeon Library at Midwestern Seminary, shows how Spurgeon models a theological vision of ministry in preaching, baptism and the Lord's supper, meaningful church membership, biblical church leadership, leadership development, and more.
