In a healthy life cycle, this process resembles the growth rings of a tree, marking the evidence of life and growth. Without this foundational infrastructure, church activities risk becoming purposeless and stagnant.
When a church stagnates, its spiritual quality does not grow. Without growth in spiritual quality, there is no growth in quantity either.
True and substantive church growth is rooted in the Bible. It begins with qualitative growth, which naturally leads to quantitative growth.
Calvary Chapel in Southern California has grown remarkably, and their sermons follow the Bible sequentially from beginning to end.
Chuck Smith discovered that when he preached directly from the Bible, both the quality and quantity of the church grew naturally.
He was inspired by a statement from Halley's Bible Handbook:
“The most important suggestion in this book is simple: every church should have a plan for the congregation to read the Bible, and the pastor’s sermons should be based on the passages read during the week.”
Why don’t more churches adopt this practice? I don’t understand. Personally, I’ve always hoped for a church like this.
Dr. Timothy Lin emphasized that the secret to church growth lies in the proper teaching of the Bible.
Your expository preaching should attract people—not because you talk about current news or tell stories, but because you rightly divide the Word of God, illuminating its meaning. When God’s Word is explained clearly, it brings light to people’s eyes, ignites their hearts, and kindles the lamp of life, allowing them to shine the light of life. This is life-driven ministry.
I view systematic Bible study as the foundational infrastructure of the church—whether through Sunday sermons, Sunday school, or fellowship groups. At the very least, the church should have one ministry dedicated to systematic Bible study. Sunday school is an excellent starting point.
If Sunday school and fellowship can work together—one focusing on biblical exegesis and the other on practical life application—the result is even better. Sunday sermons can serve as a bridge between Scripture and modern life. The sermons don’t need to cover every passage; just a small core text can have a profound, illuminating effect. Even prayer meetings can revolve around Scripture, praying for individuals, families, the church, global missions, and for God’s will to be fulfilled in our daily lives on earth as it is in heaven.
This isn’t mere repetition but a comprehensive approach to internalizing the same Scripture. Worship, Sunday school, fellowship, and prayer meetings each achieve about 25% effectiveness individually. But when they operate in harmony, they achieve 100% resonance. This is like a four-part harmony in a choir, achieving the effect of harmony. Although not everyone can achieve 100% resonance, even if some can only reach 50% or 75% effectiveness, it is still far better than standing still.
This is the secret to church growth. No gimmicks are needed—just guiding people to study the Bible genuinely. That’s enough. One method that surpasses all others.
The church doesn’t need to host too many activities, which can drain energy and divert focus. The church should focus on Sunday sermons, Sunday school, and fellowship, devoting itself to studying God’s Word and allowing the Holy Spirit to work in people’s hearts. This will bring true revival. Beyond this, not much else is necessary—often, other activities are merely superficial, ineffective, and a waste of effort.

Including Be Loving (Song of Solomon) and Be Hopeful (Lamentations) from Wiersbe's other series brings the total to 52 quarters (13 years). Four cycles of this 13-year curriculum would span a lifetime, nurturing spiritual growth from youth to old age, from spring to winter.
Even new believers can benefit from a one-year Bible survey, like Henritta Mear's What the Bible all about. However, many believers lack a firm grasp of the Bible, leading to unstable faith. This Bible study plan is my burden and passion, and though I haven't fully implemented it, I continue to work toward this vision step by step.
Reading the Bible from beginning to end is one option; another possibility is alternating between the Old and New Testaments.
Divided into four groups:
Group 1:
The Pentateuch, the Gospel of Matthew, the Book of Hebrews, and the Book of James
Group 2:
The Historical Books, the Gospel of Mark, and the Epistles of Peter
Group 3:
The Psalms and Wisdom Books, the Gospel of Luke, the Acts of the Apostles, and Paul's Epistles
Group 4:
The Prophetic Books, the Gospel of John, the Johannine Epistles, the Book of Jude, and Revelation
聖經驅動的教會 (Bible-Driven Church)
教會需要有一套好的聖經課程,好的師資,和一群願意學習的學生
在好的生命循環,他會像一棵樹的年輪,刻畫出生命成長的記號,
這是教會建造的基礎建設。如果沒有這個基礎建設,教會活動勢必淪為沒有目的的空轉。
教會如果空轉,教會生命的質就沒有成長。
教會生命的質沒有成長,教會的量也不容易有成長。
真正實質的教會成長就是以聖經為基礎,來帶動質的成長,再帶動量的成長。
Calvary Chapel在南加州發展得很好,而他們的講道就是按著聖經次序從頭到尾。
Chuck Smith牧師發現他一直教導大家要傳福音,但許多年卻沒有甚麼果效。
但是他發現當他用聖經逐卷逐章地講道,教會的質與量就自然而然地成長起來。
Chuck Smith這樣做又是受到Halley的聖經手冊的一段話所啟發:
但為什麼很少教會這樣做呢? 我也不懂,其實我一直就是希望有這樣的一個教會。
林道亮院長在講教會增長的秘訣,他也是最注重聖經的教導。
朱長老在他卸任之前,最後一次在中文團契分享,強調門徒訓練所需要的教材就是一整本的聖經。
我們的解經應該會吸引人來聽的。不是因為我們講新聞,講故事,而是因為我們按著正意,分解神的道,
使神的話被解開而發出了亮光。它會使人眼睛為之一亮,內心也為之一亮,生命的燈被點亮,使人發出
生命的光。這叫做生命的事奉。
我會把有系統的讀經當作是教會的基礎建設,無論是透過主日講道,主日學或是團契。
教會至少應該要有一個事工是有系統的讀經。主日學是最好的起點。主日學與團契若能一起配搭,
一是教導聖經的解經,一是在聖經的生活應用分享,這樣效果更好。主日信息可以成為聖經與現代
生活中間的一道橋梁。主日信息不須涵蓋所有經文,只要一小段核心性的經文闡述,就可以有畫龍點睛
的效果。甚至禱告會或禱告小組也可以圍繞聖經經文做經文性禱告,為個人,家庭,教會,普世宣教禱告
,為神的旨意能落實在我們地上的日常生活禱告,使神的旨意行在地上如同行在天上。
這並非簡單的重複,而是從不同的面相來消化同一段經文。你可以看做這是對經文做不斷地反芻,
來達到徹底消化的目的。所以我們讀經就可以避免左耳進,右耳出,而是聖經知識結合生活,
來達成知行合一的目標。敬拜,主日學,團契,禱告會都各只能達到25%的功效。但如果同步協同運作,
就可以達到100%的共振效果。這就好像是合唱團的四部合唱,達到和聲的效果。雖然並不是每一個人都
能達到100%的共振效果,但即使有的人只能達到50%,或75%的效果,那也總比原地踏步要來的強。
每一週有一段共同的聖經經文做為我們共同的焦點,從主日學的解經為起點,主日講道的釋經信息為重點
,讓弟兄姊妹把神的話帶回周間的生活作生活應用的操練,藉著靈修默想的禱告,讓我們的周間生活變
成一種有方向性的動力生活,當周末的團契,就成為我們分享我們應用神的話在我們的生活時,我們的
問題,我們的挑戰,我們的經驗,我們的見證。我們不需要背負老是要做成功的見證的壓力,當我們可
以坦然分享我們在人生的失敗與挫折,我們的痛苦與掙扎,而不需要去擔心別人的輕視與論斷,這就是
一個真實的團契生活。我們是在錯誤中學習,失敗中成長,那才是我們真正的實況。我們需要是一個有
恩典的教會。
我想這就是教會增長的秘訣。不需要花招,就是實實在在地帶人讀經。這就夠了。一招勝過萬招。
其實教會不需要辦太多甚麼活動,以至於消耗掉太多精力,也分散了注意力。教會把焦點放在主日講道,
主日學,團契,好好地去讀神的話語,讓聖靈運作在人的心中。這就會帶來真正的復興。這個工作如同
細水長流,需要時間慢慢地去醞釀。
成人主日學聖經課程安排有許多種可能,目前聖經書卷班大致上,一季上一卷書。
成人主日學聖經課程大綱, 可以Warren Wiersbe 查經系列作為一個參考的框架。
因為這套釋經書其實就是一套特別為成人主日學與團契預備的讀經材料。

如果經過四輪十三年的課程,那就好像經過人生的春夏秋冬。 從青年,壯年,中年到老年。
讓我們一生走在神的道路上,讓神的話語伴隨我們一生的歲月,指引我們一生的道路。
這也不是簡單的重複,每一次我們重新閱讀聖經,我們都應該有更進一步的認識與體會,
這是一個不斷深化的過程。第一次閱讀,我們就好好地當一個學生去學習,第二次閱讀,
就要預備成為一個小組長去帶領討論,第三次閱讀,就可以預備成為老師去教導聖經,
第四次閱讀,就應該注意培養要接棒的門徒。這個過程應該自然而然地包括了同工的培養與訓練,
如果我們能夠使弟兄姊妹實質參與教會的門徒訓練,教會應該自然會有新的同工的興起,
長江後浪推前浪,世代交替,應該是一種自然成長的發展過程。如果我們的同工有斷層,
那就說明我們的門徒訓練並沒有落實。
聖經從頭到尾讀一遍是一個選項,另一種可能的安排就是新舊約交替。
分成四組
第一組:
摩西五經(7),馬太福音(1),希伯來書(1),雅各書(1)
第二組:
歷史書(8),馬可福音(1),使徒行傳(2),彼得前後書(1)
第三組:
詩篇智慧書(5),路加福音(2),保羅書信(9)
第四組:
先知書(8),約翰福音(2),約翰書信/猶大書(2),啟示錄(1)
小組教會,目的導向,雙翼,幸福小組
這些流行的方法雖然都有一些成績,但因為都將重點放在傳福音,對信徒的聖經裝備,相對而言都沒有那麼強調。這些方法好像是一種流行的風潮,總是一波又一波的新風向。為什麼教會總要不停地變換招數? 因為新鮮度過後,這些方法最後都會出現瓶頸,無法長期持續運作。因為聖經基礎不夠堅固,就好像把房子蓋在沙土。如果信徒沒有得到屬靈的餵養與成長,最後也會失去動能。
聖經驅動的教會,是以對信徒的聖經裝備為核心,再自然帶動人數的增長。這個方法是聖經中的方法,就是使徒行傳2:42說的,恆心遵守使徒的教訓、彼此交接、擘餅、祈禱。這個方法講究穩紮穩打,不求快,但求穩健性的成長。這是一種永續經營的策略。強固聖經基礎,就是把房子蓋在磐石。藉著不間斷的屬靈餵養,讓信徒得到一種永續的動力。
