https://takingthelandpodcast.com Why do some churches grow while others struggle for years?

Key themes in this sermon: • Why the greatest works are built by developed men • The danger of giftedness without character • Why spiritual growth cannot be outsourced to sermons or YouTube • The three areas that reveal spiritual maturity • The leadership principle behind “small man, small church” This message is a direct challenge to every believer, leader, and disciple. Because the cost of building men may be high… but the cost of failing to do so is far higher. 0:00 The Motto: The Cost of Failing to Build Men 1:14 Great Works Are Built on Developed Men 5:53 Treasure in Earthen Vessels 7:48 The Bible, Faith, and Hero Mentality 10:44 Are You in the Fight or Watching from the Hill? 12:20 Gifted but Deeply Flawed 15:35 “I’m Good” Is Usually a Lie 18:07 Why Other People’s Faults Bother You 22:02 “Small Man, Small Church” 26:57 Why Sermons Alone Don’t Change You 30:48 What HinderS You From Going Further? 32:11 Prayer, Money, Words, and Building the Man Within Show Notes ALL PROCEEDS GO TO WORLD EVANGELISM Locate a CFM Church near you: https://cfmmap.org We need five-star reviews!
