II. WHAT EVERY CHURCH SHOULD ASPIRE TO BE: HEALTHY  Christians should aspire to have healthy churches. ~ “healthy”: communicates the idea of a body that’s living and growing as it should. ~ A healthy church is not a church that’s perfect and without sin.

 A healthy church is a congregation that increasingly reflects God’s character as His character has been revealed in His Word.  What are the signs of a healthy church?  These signs/characteristics are what, I believe, form a church that pleases our Lord. ~ The church cannot be based on just one good aspect and ignore the rest.

III. THE BIBLICAL SIGNS 1. THE CLEAR UNCOMPROMISING EXPOSITIONAL PREACHING OF GOD’S WORD  Imaging God’s character as it’s been revealed in His Word means, beginning with God’s Word.  Why? ~ GOD’S WORD IS THE SOURCE OF ALL LIFE AND HEALTH. ~ Jn 5:24

~ Phil 2:16 ~ GOD’S WORD IS TRUTH. ~ Jn 17:17 ~ No wonder the apostles prioritized the ministry of the Word over any other service to the church. ~ Acts 6:2, 4 ~ Acts 18:5 ~ GOD’S WORD PRODUCES SAVING AND SANCTIFYING FAITH. ~ Rom 10:17

~ 2Tim 3:16-17 ~ It’s what feeds, develops, and preserves a church’s understanding of the gospel itself. ~ GOD’S WORD ALSO REVEALS NOT ONLY HIS WILL BUT ALSO HIS CHARACTER. ~ Col 1:25 ~ Col 3:16 ~ 2Tim 3:17

~ In other words, there are no good works for which Scripture would not equip Timothy – or us. ~ Fundamentally, this means that both pastors and congregations must be committed to expositional preaching. ~ 2Tim 4:2
