“IMPLICATIONS OF THE KINGDOM”
“The Apostolos”
I. The Church is a New Wineskin with a New Commission
Luke 6:13 . . . And when it was day, He called His disciples to Himself; and from them He chose twelve whom He also named apostles:
• The Apostolos: A Roman general commissioned from Caesar to bring the culture of Rome into the newly conquered territory. [He’s not a conqueror or gladiator]
Isaiah 43:18–19 . . . “Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. 19 Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” (ROME)
• The Ecclesia is to be the architect of culture
Romans 1:5-6 . . . Through Him we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith among all nations for His name, 6 among whom you also are the called of Jesus Christ.
