Series Information
EONS is a six-part series on what Scripture says about church growth. It highlights the Bible's focus on four characteristics of church life:
1. Evangelism: this is the Bible's imperative to proclaim the Good News to the ends of the earth
2. Outreach: While the word outreach is not found in the Bible, the idea of reaching out to others by meeting their physical, social, and spiritual needs certainly is.
3. Neighboring: Like the word outreach, you won't find the word neighboring in the Bible; yet, God certainly commands his people to love their neighbors as themselves.
4. Supplication: this focuses on the spiritual discipline of praying for the lost.
