Signs, Wonders, & Kingdom Expansion: Normative for Missions Today?
Jesus modeled an evangelism that was both the proclamation of a message and the demonstration of the power of that message through signs and wonders (Matthew 4:23-25). Later as Jesus sends out his apostles (Matthew 10:7-8), He commissions them to demonstrate the Kingdom of God in the same way as they go to new people and new places.In this video, we explore how normative this kind of evangelism was to the 1st century expansion of the Kingdom. We also touch on what we should expect as the gospel goes forth today.
