Publisher's Synopsis
First, the vital call to move beyond mere belief in Christ to biblical discipleship.Second, there is a real missing ingredient in the church, true spiritual authority. So many are pursuing power and position but failing to understand that the first disciples walked in the authority Christ gave them because they lived in the authority of Christ.Last, God's grace yields a power and freedom to become conformed to the image of Christ rather than simply seeking after blessings. God's grace allows us to lay down our lives rather than seek our lives. It empowers and frees us from hungering for blessing to becoming a blessing.
