012 Pastors Session: The Purpose and Power of Water Baptism
  012 Pastors Session: Managing Your Church Finances

The Purpose and Power of Water Baptism

Jesus included the ministry of water baptism “as an integral part of the (disciples’) ministry” after His departure. Why? Water baptism is “essential to the new birth… and is an expression of genuine repentance and true faith. No one was made a part of the local church in the New Testament until he had submitted to water baptism.” Yet, too many of today’s churches have stopped this important biblical practice, disobeying the command of Jesus. Learn how to effectively teach and setup a baptism ministry in your church or ministry, and experience the supernatural power that is released when baptism is done according to the scriptures by faith, and not tradition.  (Quotes taken from book, Laying the Foundation.)

Managing Your Church Finances

Learn the proper way to set up financial accountability and management systems in your church or ministry…and hear financial wisdom that will keep your church out of debt, distress and the press.

015 Restoring Marketplace Ministry: Kings and Priests

God is restoring the revelation and honor of Kings and Priests.  Kings are called by God to minister in the marketplace (e.g., business, government, education, entertainment, etc).
