18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
I have often said that mercy is the power that gets me to the altar, but GRACE is the power to keep me in the altar.
Bishop said this week that GRACE is the power to advance the Kingdom.
Peter said that we must GROW IN GRACE and knowledge of Jesus!
In a nutshell, that is the best description of the church over the past decade.
A dedication to the growth of GRACE!
Open for questions:
Things Bishop Morgan said:
Things that he could not say because it was not just us.
Maturity of the church
You hunger to be fed.
manifest by not just enduring but staying connecting and committed to the process
Your trust in me was evident in your trust of Bro. Morgan
Obvious that we are more mature than the other churches that were represented
Great age gap (hunger gap) in who we are and who others are.
Warning
This is a responsibility not a birthright
48 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
When I came here this church had been wo a pastor for most of two years.
It was dysfunctional at best.
The responsibility of the pastor to to correct that dysfunction.
What I have free invested in you, you free invest in other
NO BIG BROTHER’S HERE!
That means that there are times when we will have evangelists here to help us and times when we will have them here to help them and times when both will happen.
HUGE RESPONSIBILITY THAT WE HAVE BEEN TRUSTED WITH!
Obvious that we have a great desire to be Apostolic
Apostolic Hub
Jacob’s ladder (staircase)
Begin in heaven and opens into/onto an erected altar
Other words/phrases for Hub: portal, door, access point in this case to the Supernatural/Apostolic
The Apostolic = Spirit of God working through the People of God
An altar is where you alter you life, when everlasting altars are built, God opens doors or builds staircases from the heaven to earth and the angelic come and go from heaven to earth fulfilling the purpose of God.
God issues an order
Angels go to the staircase and come to earth and complete their assignment.
Then head back to the staircase and head back to for another assignment, High-fiving the angels coming down!
What was the door of me dream?
God establishing an Apostolic Hub in our church.
Been under construction for most of four years!
There is a connection from heaven that open into this congregation in which the angelic host travels through to fulfil God’s plan in this region!
Our response literally joins them in the battle!
NOT JUST FOR US BUT THIS REGION!
Our battle is not just for TLC, Lincoln but for Huffman, Daywitt, this state, part of Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, South Dakota, Wyoming and Colorado.
Here is what blew my mind; You decided
I decided as a boy...
You decided over these past few years!
Understanding that between the pulpit and the pew there is a unity, camaraderie, understanding
It take me AND you
2 And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, That he may run that readeth it.
God give the Five Fold Ministry the vision
I have to make it plain
You have to run with it
Role of Ministry and Saint
When it works right, its the fulfilment of the purpose of God
Five Fold ministry is God’s gift to the church, the church is not a gift to the Five Fold Ministry.
Interject the teacher of Roman Day’s
Teacher was with the son every moment of the day, teaching, guiding, protecting.
The teacher was not the Father
