    based on 14 ratings
     | 9,433 views

    We need to move our focus out of the walls of the church building and onto others. If we do that then the church can be unleashed to do what the church was called to do.

He’s just given them power and authority that they’ve only seen; that they’ve only been witness to - they’re anxious to get started. Jesus wants to make sure that they’re prepared before they go out ...read more

    The chief cause of most of our failure and misfires when it comes to being a soldier of the cross is using someone else’s weapons or tools…and not the ministry to which we have been personally called and gifted by God.

    When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream. Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then it was said among the nations, "The LORD has done great things for them." The LORD has done great things for us, and we rejoiced. Restore ...read more
