Missionary Methods of Apostle Paul-2012-Brisbane, AUS
Some may ask, “Why should we study the missionary methods of Paul? Surely, in all this time, we have grown beyond his old ways and have found better ways of accomplishing ministry.”
To this I would say, look around at the condition of the church at large throughout the world today, and see if you can find a model of success that compares to Paul. Yes, we have our “mega-churches.” They have huge congregations and lots of money, but are they successful in the sight of God? Are they raising up a generation of mature, Bible-instructed believers? I think not. The ignorance of the average believer today is astounding. Many cannot even give a clear presentation of the Gospel message.
In a recent survey across the United States, only about 13% of regular church goers said that they believe in hell, and about the same number doubted the inspiration and infallibility of the Bible. The church as a whole is in a shambles, and the reason is that we have forsaken the God-given way—exemplified by Paul—to achieve the great commission of “making disciples of all nations” (Mat 28:19).

Many people are not able to distinguish between the Rapture and the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Tragically many pastors are not able to distinguish between the prophecies that relate to the second coming and the prophecies that relate to His return for His church. Many people don't even know that there is a distinction between those two things. And so, we're going to look at that and we look at the tribulation and we look at the anguish, the sorrow, the suffering, the misery. Do we have to go through all that? That's why I want to cover what I would like to cover.
This audio was recorded startin gin Decmeber 2022 in a small group Bible study. There are segments of these recording illustrated in videos and now in a separate series called "Revelation Videos."
