How Laypeople Have Helped the Church to Grow

Rev Kodwo Lindsay

In Acts 28:30-31(KJV) says “30 And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto him,31 Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him.”

In this message Reverend Lindsay starts the new message on “How Laypeople Have Helped the Church to Grow''. A Lay person is someone that keeps their secular job and works in the ministry. Some of our favorite Bible characters did the work of the Lord freely without being paid. The disciples recruited congregation members to assist the pastors with building the church. If you have skills, you should be using them in the church. Congregations often wrongly feel that the work of the church must be done by pastors and shepherds only. It’s not just the work of one person; it’s the work of the whole congregation.

Let us all be encouraged to use our gifts in service to our God to build His House!
