Perspectives Lesson Five: Unleashing the Gospel -- 202002MarkTab Ministries
Delivered to the Perspectives class in Statesboro, GA on February 20, 2020
In this lesson we will see how God launched the World Christian movement. We will discover that the Church is a double structure that endures to this day. We will watch how ordinary people chose a strategy of suffering which they learned from Jesus and will consider how we can live with that same apostolic passion. We will examine the biblical grounds of hope for an enormous in-gathering at the end of the age.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

Editor's Notes
And there are many more resources to assist you in this process of transformation. To help you create environments in which people might lean more decisively and intentionally into the transforming work of the Spirit, it is our joyful mission to provide you with practical resources. These are just a few of the resources available at little or no cost to you. In this year when our denomination is focusing on The Necessity of the New Birth, we offer several practical ministry tools for living into the new life we’ve been given. Nueva Vida/New Life in Christ is a tool for mentoring those who have made a decision to follow Christ and need to now know how to live in that new reality. New Birth provides a 7 day or 7 week focus on prayer for individual or small group learning. (English, Spanish and Korean) CRECER/GROW offers a longer Bible study on what it means to live and grow in Christ. Available in Spanish and English. Mission Friends is our new curriculum for use with those who are interested in learning what it means to be a member in the Evangelical Covenant Church. There are many other learning and teaching tools available, both in English and Spanish. Check out our website to see what might meet your needs.
Ministry Idea Exchange is a way for churches to share their ideas and resource one another. The Call-In Café is our way of bringing travel-free learning your way. With a different topic related to discipleship each month, we’re able to provide vital information as well as address your specific questions. Whether you are in dialogue with Christian Formation staff or another leader engaged on the front lines of ministry, you’ll be certain to be both challenged and equipped. Both Children and Family Ministry Coaches and Youth Ministry Network Leaders and Facilitators are comprised of persons in ministry in local churches who are willing to work with other churches to brainstorm ministry solutions. Check out our website for future topics…and let us know what other topics you’d like to see us address.
