1. The Need 1. Maturity in Christians, could call it Biblical maturity. Meeting the need for Christians to Know God Better. Creating a regular environment that facilitates knowing God better from the Bible, prayer and Christian fellowship. Bible Based 2. Holy Spirit is the Teacher2.
Christians grow to know God better by acknowledging the Holy Spirit as the
teacher. He uses people He has called, who make themselves available.
This creates an environment where there is always plenty of food
for Christ’s sheep. He has said the Comforter will always be with
us, to lead us into all truth. Bible
Based 3.
Jesus is in Charge 3. How do
we get away from the concept of a church being a building or a place?
The church is a group of people scattered all over the world that
are listening to Jesus as the Head of the Church. Bible

Lord Jesus Christ. Bible
Based 5. Harvest is Ready5. Why
Harvest? The call to pray for
laborers to go into the fields and harvest, fields are ready, people are
hungry, lonely, searching. Nothing
has been able to fill the emptiness that they feel, not even churches and

They have a sense that God has the answers but they can’t find these answers. When they try again to hear from God, they must leave with a sense that God has spoken to them. They must take with them something, almost anything, that they know was from the Bible, God’s Words. Bible Based 6. All are Teachers 6. Yes laborers means making teachers. We should all be preparing as teachers. 7.
Power of the Word 7. The Bible has God's authority and power behind it and that guarantees that it does work. 8. We Will be Changed 8. Getting to know Him better will change lives. Seeing His face, His nature, what He is like, and we will never be the same. This change is a lifetime process, we never "arrive" until we join Him in Heaven. Bible Based |
