Kingdom Multiplication

Ed Stetzer

Luke 24:46-49

There are four biblical principles that should propel the church into a multiplying movement. The first is that all people are sent into the world to share the Gospel. The second is that Jesus commissioned his followers to go to all people. The third is having a true understanding of the message that should be shared; the Gospel. The fourth principle is that in all this work God is the one who empowers you with the Holy Spirit.

Adorning the Gospel in Your Community

John Cleary

Luke 24:46-49

Christians are called to follow Jesus' example and stand out as people who represent the gospel. There are many open doors to adorn the gospel through words and deeds, and doing so glorifies God. This can be applied in neighborhoods, jobs, agencies, and even city-wide situations.

A Profile of Christian Conversion

Gary DeLashmutt

1 Thessalonians 1:1-10

Paul wrote to the Thessalonian church in 48 A.D. after having spent a few weeks with them. In the beginning of this letter, Paul focuses on five key elements of a person becoming a genuine believer in Jesus Christ: 1) God initiates with them; 2) God pursues people through His Holy Spirit, the gospel message of forgiveness and by human messengers; 3) a person makes a heart decision to turn from idols and serve God and acknowledge the need for His forgiveness; 4) when a person asks for Jesus' forgiveness, they are no longer under God's judgment; and 5) their lives are freed up to love other Christians, share Christ with others and have real hope for the next life.

The Claims & Case for Christ (Part 4)

Jim Leffel

John 5:25-47

Was Jesus the promised Messiah? The Messiah was predicted to come from Bethlehem, and during the exact time that he did through a prediction in Daniel 9. Through genuinely examining these claims, we can come to a firm conclusion that Jesus was the Messiah as he claimed.

The Claims & Case for Christ (Part 3)

Jim Leffel

John 5:25-47

Was Jesus the promised Messiah? The Messiah was predicted to be part of David's royal line; more than a man - a redeemer, a future ruler, and an example of God's love. Jesus fits the description in all of these areas.

A Picture of a Model Messenger

Scott Risley

1 Thessalonians 2:1-12

Paul displays what a model messenger looks like in the church. Three aspects are shared about the model messenger: 1) explaining the gospel and the Word of God; 2) speaking boldly because they were convinced of the truth of their message, and their aim was to please God and not man; 3) their speech is gentle and vulnerable, but also tough and challenging.

Key Elements of Serving Love

Dennis McCallum

Ephesians 4:15

Paul models serving love for believers by describing his personal relationship with the Thessalonian church. His love for them is motivated by the gospel and characterized by integrity in ministry, reliance on the truth, correct motives for service, and the practice of personal discipleship. Serving love is more rewarding than receiving love from others because of its eternal value, and pursuing it leads to a fulfilling and joyous life.
