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
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,
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。
教會空轉,教會生命的質沒有成長
教會生命的質沒有成長,教會的量也沒有成長。
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發現當他用聖經講道,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。
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。甚至禱告會也可以圍繞聖經經文禱告,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。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。
