Is Church Planting Really That Important? | Church Planting | Acts 14:21-28 | w/ Joshua Sanders

In Acts 14:21-28, we see Paul and Barnabas committed to something vital: church planting. They didn’t just preach the Gospel and move on—they stayed to strengthen believers, appointed leaders, and ensured that new churches were established and thriving. For them, church planting wasn’t a side project—it was central to their mission. But why is church planting so important today? Some might wonder: “Aren’t there already too many churches?” “Shouldn’t we just focus on growing the ones we already have?” “Isn’t church planting just for big cities or overseas missions?” These are real questions, but here’s the truth: church planting isn’t optional—it’s God’s way of expanding His Kingdom. In this sermon, we explore why church planting is vital to fulfilling God’s mission and how we, as a church, can embrace the mindset of praying, sending, supporting, and celebrating the work of planting churches. Watch now and discover what it means to be part of the mission.
