Peter Louis answers some questions from the students from the DTS.

Peter Louis begins the second day teaching about the perfection of the cross. He talks about how our old self has been buried and how we must walk in the new inheritance he’s given us. He talks about how we must release the power we’ve given to man-made ministry and behold the power of the cross. He dives deep into a revelation of the cross and the resurrection of Jesus and he tells us to surrender to the crosses all encapsulating love of God.

Peter Louis starts day one of gospel week explaining how we must not only know the gospel, but we must also consume and take part in it. He urges us to never look beyond the cross and the sacrifice of Jesus for everything, because everything else will fall short of our expectations. It’s an invitation to allow the gospel to offend, change, and speak truth into our lives and never move past the blood of Jesus.

Michael Pierce teaches during Voices week on the importance of understanding the significance of Christianity in all races and cultures. He goes into the scriptures to highlight the evidence of people from many different backgrounds that were affected by God and the Bible. He confronts the belief that Christianity belongs only to white men by talking about the history of missions while also addressing the history of injustices done by people who've warped Christianity.

Yasmine Pierce teaches on understanding on having a worldview of how important it is to use the power of our voice to empower the marginalized. She teaches how biblically the scripture teaches us that Jesus has a plan to have all nations come to himself. She emphasizes the fact that laborers are few and that many people have been disempowered to preach the gospel because of their ethnicity. It’s an important topic because it was the heart of Jesus’ ministry to empower the marginalized and broken, and believers it is something we must emulate.

Zach Nash continues on the series on the fruit of the Holy Spirit with a message of God's kindness. He shares a quote from Tim Keller and he challenges us to ponder our perspective of God's kindness, and he challenges the religious forms we use to "earn" God's kindness. He brings us into the Word to show us the truth behind God's grace and mercy that brings true freedom and releases every burden from us.

Derek Mack continues the series on the fruits of the Holy Spirit by talking about Godly kindness vs worldly niceness. He provokes us with Amy Carmichaels life as a missionary to Hindu prostitutes to ask ourselves if we carry worldly niceness, which is surrounded by our own selves, or whether we carry the kindness of the kingdom, which is all about other people. It's a challenge for the listener to be willing to sacrifice everything for the sake of loving others like Jesus calls believers to love others.

Matthew Nelson teaches on the topic of injustices from the Freedom Manual. He explains how injustice is usually the root of strongholds and sin patterns and teaches us to aim for the roots of injustice to experience true freedom. He teaches us how to recognize injustices in our lives and uses the Freedom Manual to create a framework for pulling the root of injustice.

Matt finishes off the week teaching on power and authority, defining both and teaching on why both are so important as a Christian. He goes into scripture to reveal how both power and authority have been given to those who believe in Jesus and how to operate in both against the schemes of the enemy.

Matt Nelson teaches the CRX about the importance of taking authority over words and phrases that come out of our mouths. He teaches us how powerful speaking words of life are in spiritual warfare and how dangerous words of death can be.
