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.

EVANGELISM 101: Lesson 1 - Biblical Foundations of EvangelismFrancis Hernandez
For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!” (Romans 10:13-15)
"It (Evangelism) comes from the same Greek word for gospel (euangelion) and means, literally, “gospeling.” When we evangelize we are “gospeling” — we are spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ." - https://www.ligonier.org/learn/devotionals/what-evangelism/
Every Christian is called to do the divine task of evangelism. Evangelism is a task not just for the select churches, or for the evangelists or pastors. This is Lesson 1 of EVANGELISM 101 Series. Given last April 23, 2021 at HOPE Christian Fellowship in Guinobatan, Calapan City, Oriental Mindoro, Philippines by Ptr. Francis S. Hernandez.

Organic Worship | New Testament FellowshipDr. Joy Allen
This Bible study outline examines the New Testament model for Christian assembly, compares it to the practices of today, and suggest practical methods to ensure our modern fellowship and meetings fulfill the purpose set forth by the original apostles of Jesus Christ.
We must take heed to what we have learned in the past (Heb. 2:1). There is a danger in drifting away from the truth (Heb. 2:2, 3). Therefore, we must be reminded of the things we already know (1 Cor. 4:17).
One thing we need to remind ourselves, and teach to our neighbors, is the basic truth about New Testament Christianity. There is a lot of false teaching out there and people have the wrong concept (Matt. 7:15-20). It is our duty to expose it and teach them the truth (Eph. 5:11).
This lesson will notice that New Testament Christians: (1) Believed in Christ; (2) Submitted to the plan of salvation; (3) Were just Christians; (4) Were not part of any denominations.
The doctrine of Baptisms - Laying on of hands.pptxClaudSchmidt
The doctrine of Baptism is laid out in the Word of God in many aspects of baptisms - not only water but for example "The Laying on of hands" - what does this mean and the impact it has on a believer or non-believer.
Jesus only built one church which is a spiritual body. In the New Testament we find that the Christians guided by inspired apostles assembled together as local assemblies or churches in order to accomplish the work the Lord gave them to do. That simple arrangement resulted in those local churches preaching the gospel throughout the whole world as the Lord commanded to be done. These slides are about those local assemblies and suggest that the Lord has not changed this arrangement.
Every natural thing is merely a manifestation of something spiritual. This set of slides explores the spirit realm and guidance for the spiritual warfare required of all born-again believers.
This Bible study delves into the afterlife and eternal future. Do you know what will happen when you die? The truth about heaven and hell? A detailed study of Scripture will reveal the truth.
Every born-again believer should understand the promise of our Savior's return. This belief and hope is critical to the belief system of every Christian, yet many don't know what to "expect" from the Messiah. This presentation offers a basic understanding of the Parousia and an entry level overview of Eschatology.
The world needs leaders of impact! God has called His people to create change in the earth. This presentation outlines the book LEADERSHIP EXCELLENCE by Pat Williams, used by permission.
The tongue is a powerful tool, capable of building up or tearing down, creating or destroying. We must use this powerful instrument as God has intended.
Do you desire to hear God's voice? How do you know when He's speaking? This study details the methods through which God speaks and the heart we must have in order to hear Him clearly.
In order to rightly divide the word of truth, we must understand the context of God's word, which to at least some extent, is impacted by history and timing. This Bible study delves into the dispensations of time, revealing God's relationship with mankind in each.

To the surprise of many, our modern day "altars" and altar calls do not line up with Scripture or the worship requirements of our Heavenly Father.
This presentation was utilized in the 2011 Leadership Summit hosted by Breath of Life International Church. It exposes the many challenges faced by leaders in public ministry while proposing solutions to some of those issues.

God's people have been granted power over the enemy. It's important for every born-again believer to understand the spiritual weapons God has granted to His saints. We are called to spiritual warfare, and we are equipped to win!
You can win over 700 souls to Christ every year! Prophet Joy Allen is a graduate of The Master's Touch School of Evangelism. In addition, she has been active in effective evangelism for over 15 years.

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.
