Jesus’ Kingdom Ministry
Jesus has an epic mission
Matthew 4:23 And Jesus went about in all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of disease and all manner of sickness among the people.
Christian Leaders Are Called Too!
We need more Christian leaders trained to minister.
Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world for a testimony unto all the nations; and then shall the end come.
The Leaders Are Sent!
Are you called? Will you recruit others?
The Multiplication Effect!
Luke 9:6 And they departed, and went throughout the villages, preaching the gospel, and healing everywhere.
The Early Church Paradigm
Jesus calls disciples and opens ministry training relationships.
Acts 4:13 Now when they beheld the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.
