Sustaining a Movement

Between Paul’s decapitation around 67AD and Timothy’s imprisonment, the church continued its ministry, albeit not without struggles. Nearly thirty years later, Jesus intervenes with the church, as much to encourage them for the work they were doing, but also to admonish them for forgetting their first love.

They were doing good things, but they were no longer doing the main thing: proclamation of the good news that the nations are included in the plan of God. Throughout the rest of the book of Revelation, John communicates the vision that all people, nations, tribes, and languages will one day worship before the throne. In the meantime, John is told to continue to prophesy about the completion of God’s mission as it is the ultimate vision of God’s will.

COVID-19 has provided many opportunities for us to rethink how we equip people for ministry and we have some big news! We’re excited to announce the launch of Ephesiology Master Classes! We’ve been thinking about what it will take to get to movement in the US and how we can support movements around the world and our master class idea was born. With all the changes we anticipate due to COVID-19, it became apparent that biblical, theological, and missiological training in an accessible, dynamic, and responsive platform will be a key part of the equipping all the saints for works of ministry (Eph 4:12). Join us on this podcast as we unpack an exciting initiative to help us stay on mission. And check out Ephesiology Master Classes.
