you did not discover this wonderful truth about me but my Father revealed it to you. Peter’s

confession was God-given insight that is much deeper than anyone. If any one of you is

responsibility to save lives to be part of building His Church by adding one stone at a time.

In Closing, on Pentecost Sunday, the Holy Spirit came down and through powerful

preaching of Peter Sunday Church was born as Jesus promised. As Christians gather together on

Sundays, they grew in faith and then went out to share the gospel of Christ. The people’s lives

It has done so because of the energized efforts of the people gathered

on Sunday. More than any other group, the Church has changed the world, and more than every

other group together, the Church has changed the world.

As we plan to move to a new location, Christ wants to add more people to His Kingdom

and we hold the keys to His Kingdom. He wants us to open up the Kingdom and invite people in

and through us He wants to build His Church. The Church is His legacy He left it behind for us

to continue to build His legacy. The Church is the hope of the world. First and foremost our

legacy we should leave behind more than anything else is the Church of Christ. For the current

and next generation that is to come. I want people to remember that I was part of a great

movement. That movement is sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ. Jesus said, “I will build my

church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.”

In general, there are no specific applications and illustration.

There are few theological points that I do not agree. I wrote them in above. I think that these are

BIG issues. I hope you can change these

    True and significant life is found in Jesus Christ and because of my firm conviction of this it has been my primary objective to point people to Jesus. Being persuaded that Christ wants Christians and especially those who take leadership roles to minister to the needs of others, I have ordered my life to conform to that conviction. Ultimately, Jesus desires that each Christian serves him by serving others; this is accomplished in a variety of ways – feeding those who are hungry, teaching everyone the life saving Gospel, and by leading in a way that reflects the glory of Christ. It has been my immense pleasure to have had the opportunity to preach God’s Word to thousands of people over the past fifteen years. It is my sincere passion to see people embrace Christ Jesus as their Lord and savior and to be transformed by the renewing of their minds through the Word of God.…

    Introduction into this book and videos covers how we need to set long term goals, but before doing so we need to ask ourselves some questions. Before we can set those goals we should seek to know Christ. This can be done by reading the four gospels and seeing what Jesus did, what we can learn from him, and how does it relate to us? Jesus’ last commandment was to go and make disciples, and while principles never change, our methods have to change in order to reach the current generation, and each beyond. As we get into the chapters we learn that men are God’s method and while they may seem unlearned or ignorant by man’s standards, God uses those willing to learn and raises them into leadership.…
