This week we’re talking about the size of churches and whether or not a church can become “too big.” In a recent video, a “megachurch” pastor charged those who are critical of larger churches as being “hypocrites.” Why did he say that? And why would anyone think that a church can become too large? We’re going to talk about that today.

STORY – Texas Megachurch Pastor Fires Back at Critics of Large Churches

“Texas-based Pastor Ed Young believes those who think megachurches are “just too big” are hypocrites.

“The founder and senior pastor of the multi-site Fellowship Church in Grapevine issued the bold statement in a video shared to his Facebook page. Young’s church, for context, reported a weekly attendance of 24,000 in 2020.” (Faithwire)

What does “propitiation” mean? How is “justification” connected to salvation? What does “sanctification” look like in our day-to-day lives? The Bible uses some powerful words to describe God’s plan to save mankind. However, these words are not always easy to understand, especially when they are not part of our everyday vocabulary. This book explores key Bible terms that unlock the message of the gospel.

Big Words in the Bible examines five important words – Propitiation, Reconciliation, Sanctification, Justification, and Resurrection – using plain language to see how the Scriptures describe these concepts and how the apostle Paul employs them in his letter to the Romans. This book also contains an appendix with eleven additional articles to explore these topics further.

Whether you are new to the Bible and want to grow in your understanding or want a simple way to explain these core gospel doctrines to others, this book will be helpful. With a focus on the Scriptures, Big Words in the Bible helps break down these fundamental topics to shed light on the life-changing message of the gospel and the salvation found in it.
