The best of friends are the loyal, faithful, and hard-charging kind who will tear the roof off someone's house to get you to Jesus. By not allowing obstacles or inconveniences to stop them, these loving and selfless friends demonstrate how they are ALL IN for Jesus, seeking to do the highest good for their brothers in need. Listen this week as Pastor John brings to life a biblical story from Mark, a perfect example of the body of Christ taking care of each other. He outlines the characteristics of true friendships, focusing on the pure in heart who love Jesus and others. When believers recognize the full authority of Jesus, they become willing to act outside of the worldly guidelines for their friends who need our Lord and Savior!

In the New Testament, Jesus Christ intentionally equips and deploys His disciples and other teams as foot soldiers for the gospel message, sending them out with spiritual authority and purpose.
This kingdom mission was fueled by divine empowerment granted by God the Father, as they possessed ALL AUTHORITY now to heal the sick, to restore the lost and broken lives, and to deliver people from demonic strongholds. Listen this week as Pastor Andy Middleton compels the church to continue this structured plan as outlined by the New King for spreading the gospel to a lost and dying world. He recalls the success stories of the last 40 days of prayer and fasting and encourages Christians to make this disciplined preparation a lifestyle, not just a calendar commitment. As we are called and consecrated under God into our desolate places, let us focus on the biblical principles outlined for the mighty Kingdom Mission!

Without godly wisdom, even the grandest intentions performed in love can accidentally lead to destruction. The miraculously healed leper in the book of Mark had a passionate zeal for Jesus Christ, showed immense gratitude toward Him while in His presence, and then immediately acted disobediently upon leaving Jesus. The consequences of his actions affected the future ministry of Jesus, creating obstacles that could have been avoided had he just done what Jesus told him to do. Listen as Pastor John cautions us this week that it is possible to hurt others with our good intentions, if done so without godly counsel. He outlines several "ministries of destruction" that believers are to avoid in their spiritual walk. Christians are encouraged to seek God's wisdom in all matters related to the relationships in our families, churches, and communities.
