2. 6 Ways Churches Sabotage Evangelism
Expecting “the preacher” to do it all (Acts 8:4; Phil. 4:3; 1 Thess. 1:8; Col. 4:5-6)
Focusing on meeting physical needs instead of spiritual ones (John 6:26-27)
Tolerating hypocrites (Romans 2:1, 22-24; 12:2, 9; 1 Corinthians 5:1-2)
Entertaining worship (2 Timothy 3:4)
Buying tolerance & selling truth (Prov. 23:23)
Making numerical growth the prime goal (Acts 2:38-47; Matthew 7:13-14; 1 Cor. 1:21, 26)

(Mark 4:26-28)
