    A Prevailing Church: Binding Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 21, 2002
    based on 71 ratings
     | 6,700 views

    The guesses of the people about Jesus’ identity give us clues about their perception of His character. Jesus used their grasp of His similarity to John the Baptist, Elijah, and Jeremiah to focus on the authority to bind and loose. They, and He, bound rel

    Boldness In Church Planting Series

    Contributed by Paul Apple on Jan 13, 2010
     | 7,521 views

    Supernatural boldness in church planting validates authentic ministry when based on pure motives and proper conduct (the marks of Spirit-filled church planters).

    As we reach the end of our first month of attempting to plant a church and as we study the NT model for church planting from the Book of 1 Thessalonians, we need to ask ourselves if we are too tentative. What is impressive from studying Paul and Silas and Timothy is their confidence and ...read more

    The early church experienced amazing growth and power. She was very young and very pure. We must follow the biblical model rather than striving to meet the expectations of contemporary culture if we are to experience God's presence and power.
