The Kingdom of Jesus came with power. It spread from Jerusalem, throughout Judea, to Samaria, and even reached the hearts of Gentile believers. The ministries of Peter and Paul take center stages, as the Gospel spreads throughout the world, from the holy city where Jesus died and rose, to the capital of the Empire, Rome itself. Journey back to the first century, to the beginning days of the church of Jesus, as a movement of twelve believers becomes a Kingdom of thousands, turning the world upside-down in the process!

What if the solution for the decline of today's church isn't more money, people, programs, innovation, or busyness? What if the answer is to stop and wait on God?

Using clear steps and practices, they invite church leaders to stop the endless cycle of doing more and rather to simply "be" in God's presence.

YES! • The New Covenant leadership Jesus initiated ...
