Hello Saints, in this episode we will cover what it means to be an apostle or sent by the Lord, the authority of the sender and the sent. The awareness of this dynamic is key for church planters and their attachment to the church formulated through them by the grace of God and the will of His Holy Spirit. This awareness is also important for grumbling speculators - who are also believers - when they consider the authority of the sent and the mission developed or in development. That the speculators are aware that true apostles are not be self-willed or have an entitlement mentality but are completely God willed, God proven, approved, and their mission is fruit bearing on truth. Thus, members of churches from obedient apostles are assured and comforted that they belong to a local body that God approved and sent to plant Himself. Have we done the checks and balances based on God's truth and spirit for acknowledging that the local church we attend has God's seal for us?
