La Bendición de Hacer Discipulos (The Blessing of Making Disciples) May 04, 2018

Show notes

Manuel Magos

Todos podemos participar en el crecimiento de la iglesia cuando invertimos tiempo y experiencia en la vida de un incrédulo y verlo nacer, desarrollarse, y duplicarse. Es el trabajo que Dios nos dio a cada uno de nosotros y es el mandamiento de Mateo 28 que esta vigente en nuestras vidas. We can all participate in the growth of the church when we invest time and experience in the life of an unbeliever and see them born again, develop and reproduce himself. It's the task that God has given each of us and it's the Great Commission in Matthew 28 that is binding in our lives.

The Ghost with the Most: Spirit Indwelling and Demon Possession in Luke-Acts May 04, 2018

Show notes

Kevin Burr

Christians have rightly emphasized Jesus' power a) in the Holy Spirit and b) over demons for millennia. But to stop there is to do a major disservice not only to Jesus' mission but to the Spirit-filled church's as well. In this lecture we will briefly discuss ancient views on demons and will compare and contrast three episodes of demon possession in Luke-Acts with three episodes of Holy Spirit indwelling in order to show how God's mission for the church is also, and necessarily, human-focused.
