In this episode of No Compromise Radio, Pastor Mike Abendroth discusses the core mission of Bethlehem Bible Church: the maturation of its members in Christ. Mike clarifies that while numerical growth is welcome, the primary focus is on the spiritual development of each individual, emphasizing qualities like steadfastness and Christ-likeness. Drawing from Colossians 1:28, he explains that the church's activities, from sermons to songs, are centered on Jesus to foster this maturity. Mike contrasts this focus with churches that prioritize entertainment or social gatherings, arguing that these should be byproducts rather than the main goal. He also touches on the nature of worship, highlighting the shift from the Old Testament's sensory-rich experiences to the New Testament's emphasis on Jesus.
