The Character of an Effective Church Acts 13:1-13 June 30, 2019

Spiritual Leaders

Revelation 19:10 (ESV) Then I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, “You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God.” For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

Spiritual Ministry

2 Timothy 2:15 (ESV) Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth. Colossians 3:23–24 (ESV) Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.

Spiritual Mission

Spiritual Opposition

Ephesians 6:12 (ESV) For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Cf. Daniel 10:13-11:1

Spiritual Victory

Implications & Applications: Spiritual leaders. Spiritual ministry. Spiritual mission. 1 Corinthians 12:4-7 (ESV) Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone. To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.

Implications & Applications: Spiritual opposition. Spiritual victory. Matthew 16:18 (ESV) And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Romans 8:37 (ESV) No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
