Paradise Productions Presents! Whats a Real Christian? Whats a Real Christian? Like… If Jesus & His disciples would be alive today, what would they do?

Would this be Jesus church today? Would He preach to followers every week? I mean…He was the best minister ever! Would He preach to followers every week? I mean…He was the best minister ever!

No. He never settled down & built a mega church to preach to the same people every Sunday. Jesus kept moving around, going everywhere responding to the cries of needy individuals. who went about doing good & healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him Acts 10:38

He didnt even stop long enough to build a tent! He didnt even stop long enough to build a tent! Jesus only occasional Mass Evangelism were non- planned outdoor events! And many came for fish sandwiches only!

10 main reasons why people like Mega churches!

Did He entertain followers every Sunday? No! He collected disciples and sent them out two by two.

Jesus traveled around personally to single- handedly find & call his 12 disciples. Walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two fishermen. And He said, Follow Me and I will make you fishers of men!

He didnt say: He didnt say: Nah! Thanks Pal! We worship on the Sabbath day in our own house and we fish Saturday night, so we sleep in! Besides, what is cool music? Hi Guys! Like to come to my mega church on Sunday morning? Weve got cool music & an easy sermon!

Nothing wrong with musical entertainment or praising the Lord together, but dont call it Gods Service! And you dont need to build big billion dollar stadiums to do that and so doing rob the mission field of support! Nothing wrong with musical entertainment or praising the Lord together, but dont call it Gods Service! And you dont need to build big billion dollar stadiums to do that and so doing rob the mission field of support! No! Your service doesnt start until you leave the darn buildings!

WHEN Jesus went to church, he forcefully evicted the Money Changers THREE times, (International Bankers!) And EACH time he almost got stoned to death for it! Each time He left Judea to let things cool down! Moral: Churches! Dont blame the Bankers? WHEN Jesus went to church, he forcefully evicted the Money Changers THREE times, (International Bankers!) And EACH time he almost got stoned to death for it! Each time He left Judea to let things cool down! Moral: Churches! Dont blame the Bankers? And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, & the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables. John 2:15.

Mega church pastor $ salary. Mega church pastor $ salary.

YET THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH BIG BUSINESS, AS LONG AS IT PREACHES REAL GOSPEL! Church has become big business!! Church has become big business!!

Before Jesus left He commanded them to go! Before Jesus left He commanded them to go! And He said unto them, GO YE into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature! - Mk 16:15 And He said unto them, GO YE into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature! - Mk 16:15

And you dont need to be a flamboyant preacher nor have a billion $ church building or Mega Entertainment Hall to do that! All you need to do is …GO where the sheep are and love them individually into His fold! And you can use your house or even a shack to teach them the Bible! OK! I ask Him in my heart now! Hi! Jesus loves you! Lets go to my house! OK! Id like to know more about Him!

Well, you say, Jesus said, you shall do greater works than I! Isnt that how the Early Church operated? Bigger Halls & Crowds & Sermons? The Upper Room wasnt a church. They were praying & waiting there for 10 days for the promise of the Holy Spirit! After it came they went out witnessing to many in other languages! Jésus est le Messie! Et il taime! Jesus is the Messiah, and he loves you! Jesus es el Messias, et il te quiero! Jesus è il Messiah e li ama. Jesus ist der Messias und Er liebt dich Ο Ιησούς είναι το Messiah και σας αγαπά.

After they went out the 11 Disciples stood up with Peter who preached a tough sermon to a spontaneous crowd, as he also did in the temple, after healing the lame man The results were that first 3000 and after 5000 men joined the Church! NOT a building! But the houses of the first 500 Christians, sharing all things!

The first Christians were ALL disciples who lived together, studied the scriptures, & preached the Gospel! And all that believed were together and sold their possessions and goods and parted them to all men as every man had need! And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved. Acts 2:44-47 And all that believed were together and sold their possessions and goods and parted them to all men as every man had need! And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved. Acts 2:44-47

They didnt get involved in politics, and after persecution kept a polite distance from the jealous religionists! The Scribes and Pharisees! Thats what the real Christians of the Early Church were like! Nor did they preach the return for scattered Zionist Jews to Israel and were even less willing to fight ungodly World Wars for them! They were HOME churches!

Their 8000 disciples went OUT to preach the Gospel daily! And daily in the temple and in every house they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ! Acts 5:42 And daily in the temple and in every house they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ! Acts 5:42
