Tim Price | Christian Life & Leadership

Tim and Clint sit down with Dr. Chris Bounds during Beulah Holiness Camp where he was one of the preachers. It was an incredible week of ministry, but this conversation was centered around the early church. Chris is from Wesley Seminary in Indiana and part of his expertise is in the early church - the first 500 years. 

A few highlights:

Favorite verse: Matthew Chapter 1:21 - Jesus is given his name is to save us from our sin, our personal sin but also the sins committed against us. Jesus comes to free us from all the sins and wounds that come being enslaved in sin.

Too often we idolize the New Testament church, but it wasn’t the pristine beauty we often associate with it. The early church was similar to today – dealing issues, dealing with struggles and overcoming only by the grace of God.

We’re living in a time that is similar to the early church – in that most people in our post Christian world no longer consider the church relevant. It’s more like we’re in the minority and seeking ways to be salt and light in the our culture.

We’re called to enter into pain and suffering of the world around us.

We don’t judge the world, they can’t help doing what they do not knowing Christ. But we do judge ourselves as believers.

The mind of Christ is nothing more and nothing less that taking the posture of a servant.

We have no idea of what true persecution is.

Encouragement for local church leaders today…. The focus of discipleship.

It was great to have him share on the Go Harvest Podcast and we hope it's an encouragement to each believer and ministry leader.
