Don’t Build Your Church on Church People! by Pastor Nigel Brown | WALTHAM FOREST CONF 2025
“You cannot build your church on religious people.” In this powerful opening night sermon of the Waltham Forest Conference, Pastor Nigel Brown issues a timely and prophetic warning: If we prioritize church growth over new birth, we may lose the very culture that fuels our calling. Using Acts 5 as his foundation, Pastor Brown contrasts the “rest who dared not join” with those born again into a supernatural, Holy Ghost culture. He exposes the dangers of importing religious Christians rather than reaching sinners, and passionately defends the core values of evangelism, discipleship, church planting, and world evangelism. With stirring illustrations, historical insight into the Salvation Army, and testimonies of transformation, this message will challenge every pastor, disciple, and believer to preserve the culture that God has entrusted to our fellowship. 📖 Scripture: Acts 5:12–16 https://TakingTheLandPodcast.com SUBSCRIBE TO PREMIUM FOR MORE: • Subscribe for only $3/month on Supercast: https://taking-the-land.supercast.com/ • Subscribe for only $3.99/month on Spotify: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/taking-the-land/subscribe • Subscribe for only $4.99/month on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3vy1s5b Chapters 00:00 The Principle of Dependency in Life 02:45 Understanding the Poverty Mindset 06:10 Breaking the Poverty Mindset 09:03 The Importance of Generosity 12:13 Faith and Financial Responsibility 13:59 The Mixed Multitude and Church Identity 15:21 Preserving Church Culture 18:23 The Dangers of Religious Immigration 21:18 The Impact of Cultural Christians 24:11 Navigating Church Growth and Identity 35:40 Cultural Encounters and Personal Growth 39:15 The Power of Church Culture 44:03 Emphasizing Male Leadership and Discipleship 46:25 Understanding Kingdom Culture 50:02 The Importance of Church Identity 55:13 The Call to Evangelism and Outreach 59:17 The Role of Culture in Church Growth Show Notes ALL PROCEEDS GO TO WORLD EVANGELISM Locate a CFM Church near you: https://cfmmap.org We need five-star reviews!
