Eight Marks of a Strong Church (2 of 2)
Series: Strong Leaders Build Strong Churches
Frank Damazio
Introduction: The strong leader builds a strong church that will impact culture, change atmosphere in the city, transform lives, and win the lost. Matthew 16:16-18 says, ''Simon Peter answered and said, 'You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.' Jesus answered and said to him, 'Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.''' The strong leader raises the passion level for building a world-impacting church. This message seeks to unite all leaders into one clear vision and mission in building a strong, enduring church.

3. Third Message (Haggai 2:10-19) - Haggai called the people and the leaders to a new level of purity and a new focus on the Lord Himself. He challenged them to believe for favor and blessing to return.
4. Fourth Message (Haggai 2:20-23) - Haggai spoke about the coming shaking of all things when all kingdoms will be overthrown. However God will raise up a lasting, unshakable kingdom whose servants are the signet ring of the Lord's work.
B. THE CALL TO BE STRONG
