Focus on Transformation, Not Growth

The speaker reflects on the traditional approach of focusing on growth strategies within the church calendar but emphasizes that the New Testament does not command churches to grow. Instead, the emphasis should be on transforming into the image of Christ, which naturally leads to growth. He mentions a quote criticizing the charismatic church for building on hype, sensation, and charisma, leading to shallow faith, false movements, and inexperienced leaders with a limited understanding of God's Word.
