Let the Church Move Out

When different people with different gifts from different backgrounds come together in unity in the body of Christ, a dynamic synergy happens and the church working together can do far, far more than what any of the individual members could do separately.

Part 26: More Tough Questions (John 7:32-52)

As we continue to look at the questions asked in John 7, we discover that Jesus was making some massive claims concerning His true identity. We also discover that if a person doesn't want to believe, they won't believe, regardless of obvious evidence.

Gravity

The anointing of God is like gravity: it's at work even when we don't realize it. However, for the anointing to impact us, we have to let go.

Part 25: Tough Questions (John 7:1-31)

John chapter seven lists a series of twenty questions asked by both Jesus and the crowds listening to him. We can boil those down to six questions that help us understand who Jesus really is.

Let the People Move Up

If a church is going to be effective in ministry, the pastor can't be the only one involved in ministry. The truth is, all Christians are called to minister and when the people move up, the church's ministry expands.

Part 24: Eating the Bread of Life (John 6:41-71)

Jesus tells the listening crowd by telling them that in order to have eternal life, they must eat the bread of life. The shocking part of it all was that he told them that the bread of life was his flesh and they must eat his flesh and drink his blood if they wanted eternal life. What could Jesus mean by these shocking words? Was he endorsing cannibalism? This teaching was so hard to understand that many of his disciples abandoned him.

Let the Pastor Move Over

In order for a church to move from being an average church to a great church, the pastor can't be the only one involved in the ministry of the church. The pastor has to move over and equip the people of the church to join him in the work of the ministry.

Part 23: The Master of the Sea & the Bread of Life (John 6:16-40)

After feeding the crowd of more than 5,000, Jesus' disciples head across the Sea of Galilee without Jesus, but encounter a strong storm. Things get pretty rough until Jesus comes walking on the water. The next day, Jesus tries to help the crowd from the previous day understand what the miracle of the loaves and fishes really meant, but they just couldn't get it.

Let the Spirit Move In

The Apostle Paul teaches that there are three classes of people: the natural man, the spiritual man, and the carnal man. Pastor Dave talks about these three types of people and what it means for each of us.

Part 22: Little Becomes Much (John 6:1-15)

Jesus miraculously solved an overwhelmingly impossible problem when he fed over 5,000 people using a little boy's lunch. In so doing, He shows us that little becomes much when we place it in His hands.
