Jaeson Ma: Be It to Bring It

1. It’s not just about going to church but being the church. Jesus didn’t die for us to come to a church. He called us to GO into the world to be salt and light.

2. Everyone’s a minister. Everyone’s called to preach the gospel, every single person is called to make disciples. Everyone is called to influence and change culture, to make the kingdoms of men the Kingdoms of Heaven on the earth. Jesus didn’t die for us to go Heaven, He prayed. This is how we should pray "...thy will be done Thy Kingdom come on Earth as it is in Heaven.”

3. Intimacy with Christ. Prayer is everything. Without prayer, you can’t do anything. That is the power of the Holy Spirit we cannot neglect, no matter what denomination, doctrine or box. We can’t put God in a box. God of the Old Testament and the God of the New Testament is the same God today as He was and the God of the book of Acts. We have to live a life of prayer. Why is it not happening here in North America? I truly believe it is because of our belief system. If we believe it can’t happen, it won’t happen. We must believe God can and will do even more than he has done before.

Discussion Questions:
1. Does North America lack faith? Is this why Christianity is exploding outside of North America? Do you need more faith?
2. How can you know if you are “just living a life and a ministry and a theology and a philosophy of ministry that’s through our mind” and/or “that’s just about reaching culture?”
