The Culture We Carry, Part Three

As the global Body of Christ, the Lord has given different churches various functions that are unique to them. Bethel Church is simply one part of the global Church but it's important to realize that God has given us specific distinctions that we are called to. As this sermon is a continuation from the Kris Vallotton's previous messages in this series, he continues to expand upon the unique assignments we have as a house. As we believe that we are a royal priesthood, the posture in leading the congregation is to train them to release the kingdom everywhere they go. Because we believe that you become a priest in ministry as soon as you receive Christ, there is now no difference between what is sacred and secular in your life, everything becomes an expression of worship and ministry to the Lord. As our church is an apostolic and prophetic house, training and equipping the saints with deployment in mind is our emphasis. This looks like focusing on the five-fold ministry so that the body looks more like Christ by equipping the saints with discernment so that we are no longer deceived and sent out to reproduce the kingdom of God everywhere we go. We pray that as you listen to this sermon, you receive supernatural boldness and empowerment to equip and love the Body of Christ and to disciple nations until the whole earth looks like Heaven.
