Discipleship 101
2 Timothy 2:2 And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.
Timothy, the message is the same & consistent. I love Gods word, how it is given to all the same. There isn't a watered down version and a super spiritual version. Everybody does learn differently yet the Holy Spirit is able to speak to everyone with no limitations. All the doctrines of Gods word, especially the doctrine of grace, was witnessed by many. No backroom deals! No special exemptions for some. We are all saved by grace thru faith. Jesus is the gift from God to us! All we must do is receive Him into our lives as our LORD & Savior!
Now, commit these doctrines to faithful men who can teach others also. Share the work load. God already chose One Man, Jesus, to fulfill the work & pave the way. The rest of us are members of His body, working under the Headship of Jesus. When I look for signs of a healthy church, I don't necessarily find it because of a preacher who leads thousands in a sinners prayer, nor do I see it when a preacher is solely lifted up doing all the work and being amazingly used by God! That's a good thing, but a healthy church is a church that the sheep beget sheep! Healthy sheep go out and make more healthy sheep. In every situation of a God moving healthy church, this is the case! A church may have a good leader but those teachings haven't yet taken root in the congregation. But when they do, that church will explode! I'm so very thankful for the season our church is in currently. The people are excited about their church and experiencing their God. It shows because many now are going out and inviting their friends, family, co-workers to come and experience the LORD for themselves! Now that is what happens when you commit these doctrines to faithful men who in turn teach them to others! LORD, please pour out Your Spirit upon us a fresh & new. We desire Your New wine of the Spirit to be in New wineskins!

Amen!
I'm excited as well! I've been praying for a revival on the Coast for many many years, another Jesus Movement if you will. And that He would use you as a pastor and our fellowship of amazing people in a mighty way. I believe we are in the beginning of that! Get your running shoes on, folks! Jesus is moving! 🙂â¤ï¸
