Everywhere we look disruption abounds and uncertainty looms over the nations. The gospel is an invitation to become hopeful for the future and empowered for the present. Modern day endtimes preachers keep the church in limbo expecting non-events. Yet everywhere we look in the Scriptures we see:
- Jesus's "second coming" was meant to be in the spirit and in the first-century.
- The rapture was a first-century event.
- God will never destroy the earth, but He wants the church to transform it.
- God's kingdom is already here and ready to transform the world.
These statements represent a challenge to modern Christians because they hold the promises bound in ancient Israel's seven feast days. They were a part of the law of Moses, which we claim passed away. But, if the law of Moses passed away, then everything that those feasts represented most have been fulfilled. If that is not so, then inevitably we're still under the law waiting on their fulfillment. We're in a time of
global disruption, and a one-man-show pastoral leadership style won't bring the church to maturity. But a five-fold ministry approach. The church is invited to be a counter cultural entity to the world beyond its
moralistic mandate. It's as if a new
Protestantism is scaling up, having learned from past movements, but equally poised to alter the establishment. In this book you'll learn that the answers the world is looking for in this hour, are inside of you, through Jesus's redemptive work.
