Missions in the 21st Century
Mark Vowels
In his final session, Mark Vowels describes where we’ve been, where we are, and where we are going in missions.
Christ’s Plan for Changing the World
Mark Vowels
When asked about his kingdom, Jesus responded by promising his disciples that power would come with his Spirit and that they would become witnesses.
Casting Out Missionaries
Mark Vowels
The harvest is overwhelming and there is a shortage of laborers, but the Master of the harvest is infinitely more interested in his harvest than we could ever be. He commands us to pray that he will “cast out” more laborers into his harvest field.
Worship-Driven Disciplemaking
Mark Vowels
Jesus approached his disciples, some of whom were worshipping while others doubted, and reminded them that all authority had been given to him. Based on that authority, he commanded them to make disciples.
Faith Proclaimed in All the World
Pastor Hamilton
What God provides must be received by faith. What is received by faith must be announced in faithfulness. Only as this gospel is proclaimed and the Lord opens the eyes of the lost are people converted. The power is not in our presentation, but in our Savior.
The Real Deal
Pastor Hamilton
Satan not only tried to attack with threats from outside the church, but from corruption from within. Persecution could scatter a community of believers, but wrong teaching or values could fracture an assembly. The purity of the church is important to God.
Right Response to Wrong Treatment
Pastor Hamilton
When persecuted, the church gathers with the company of saints (v. 23) and gives thanks to the God who is working through it all (vv. 24–31).
The Ugly Side of Religious Unbelief
Pastor Hamilton
The greatest opposition you will face in giving the gospel may not be from secular sources, but from those who are devoted to a dead religion. This chapter tells Christ’s body what they can expect and how they are to respond.
The Exuberant Witness
Pastor Hamilton
The same Jesus the Jews delivered to die was raised by the Almighty and must be believed by every sinner.
