The Need for Discomfort in Church Planting (Acts 1:8)
If church revitalisation is like raising the dead (a difficult task by anyone’s standard—except Christ’s!), church planting is like giving birth (easier, perhaps, but still painful and labourious). Still, like childbirth, church planting can be difficult, messy, noisy, and worrying but it is worth it in the long run. In fact, the New Testament argues that there is something of a need for discomfort in church planting.
Scripture References: Acts 1:8
From Series: "Sola 5 Conference 2018"
The sermons in this series were preached at the 2018 annual Sola 5 Conference hosted by BBC. The theme of the Conference was “Partnered to Plant,” and the messages focused on the need for churches to associate with one another in church planting and revitalisation efforts.

It was a great joy to attend the 2018 annual Sola 5 Conference in Johannesburg, South Africa, hosted by Brackenhurst Baptist Church. The theme of the conference was “Partnered to Plant,” and we were led by several Sola 5 pastors to focus biblically on the work of church planting and revitalisation.
Phil Hunt from Kitwe Church in Zambia opened the conference on Wednesday night by preaching on a biblical commitment to planting healthy, reproducing churches.
On Thursday morning, we first heard from Sammy Leballo (Moletsane Baptist Church, Soweto, South Africa), who spoke on a burden to revitalise and strengthen dying churches. Mario Maneville of Reformed Faith Mission Community Church in Belville South, South Africa, then spoke on how to help our churches to be more outward focused. Conrad Mbewe of Kabwata Baptist Church in Lusaka, Zambia, closed Thursday with a focus on being intentional in planting self-governing churches.
On Friday morning, Tyrell Haag from Heritage Baptist Church in Melville, South Africa spoke on the need for discomfort in church planting. This was followed by a panel of Zambian brothers offering insight into the history of church planting in Zambian Reformed Baptist circles. Chris Woolley from Midrand Chapel in Midrand, South Africa, closed the conference by addressing the greatest hindrance to partnering in church planting.
