Rise from our ashes, Ukraine

In this lesson I have addressed in depth the characteristics of false prophets (while most of these characteristics also can be applied at other false ministries as well).

I give a Biblical background to the ministry of the prophet, starting from the Old Testament. A reflection about the differences of the OT prophet and the NT prophet based on the different covenants.

The. continuation of lesson 1, with relevant and very practical applications relating to the Biblical principles and characteristics of an apostolic ministry. I derive these examples from the many years of ministry in the planting of churches and the start and forming of a church planting network.

We look in depth to the office / ministry of the apostle described in Ephesians chapter 4 as being part of the five-fold ministry given to the Church. We look at the role of an apostle and compare the calling and functions of an apostle with the other offices (prophet, evangelist, teacher and pastor/shepherd). I give arguments against those who believe that these five offices were not needed anymore after the Early Church.
