DeVasher - 1423: Ministry in the Early Church | Studies on Ministry (DVD)
Kameron DeVasherHave you ever considered what Ministry in the Early Church was like? Some of us may have an image of a much simpler time with fewer church flaws. However, Kameron DeVasher extrapolates the church in Acts 2 to give us a better picture of what the early church was like. Despite being set in an earlier time period, many of our current issues in the church are mirrored in Acts. So what went wrong? Listen and learn about how many Christians idolized their church leaders and elders instead of God.
DeVasher reminds us that God chose able men to be heads of the church to deal and judge small cases, but God is the ultimate judge. Even today many are tempted to see world and religious leaders as being God, and we follow them and their words instead of the Gospel. We need to remember who is this ministry for, and what our ultimate goal is. People are the living beings that God uses to further His kingdom. The elder or leader doesn’t make change, it is God that is acting through people that makes change. DeVasher asks us to consider how we can learn from the early church of the Bible to improve and steadfastly grow in Christ. 43 minutes.
