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. Although it may be a slow process, our responsibility…
As we have discussed, it would be impossible for the disciples to understand the Old Testament from a Messianic perspective. Therefore, Jesus explained His suffering, crucifixion and resurrection prophesized in the Old Testament. Not only he explained, He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures. The…
The Gospels have been written to show Christian today how to apply the God’s doctrine to win the lost, make disciple and also how to maintain the discipleship. Harris writes that although the Early Churches had a variety of differences,” all had a common root and origins in the life and faith of the Jewish people”.

with your mouth along with giving your heart to the Lord and that’s it, therefore many new believers are confused when it comes to salvation. Churches are good at “opening the altar” and leading people to Christ but they are slack in making them disciples and teaching them about repentance, the journey of Christianity along with salvation. The apostle Peter preached that one needs to “repent therefore and be converted, that your sins…
During Bai Xioachun’s first month at the cave residence on Purple Cauldron Mountain, the atmosphere was quiet and no trouble was stirred with the Purple Cauldron disciples.
