New Testament Ministry

This topic reveals the New Testament ministry as a heavenly stewardship centered on Christ as the Spirit and the distribution of His inheritance.

This topic contrasts the fading, condemning ministry of the law with the life-giving ministry of the Spirit revealed in the New Testament.

This topic reveals that true transformation is Christ Himself being impressed into our regenerated spirit by faith, not by fleshly effort. Through 2 Corinthians 3:16-18, believers are renewed by beholding Christ’s glory in the word, which brings liberty and ongoing renewal.

This topic reveals how suffering in ministry identifies believers with Christ’s priestly sufferings, producing spiritual dependence and comfort.

This topic reveals the mutual functioning of body members as an organic expression of Christ’s life, not human effort.

This topic explores the vital role of the Testimony of Jesus as the foundation for true fellowship and spiritual life, emphasizing faith in the gospel apart from law or works.
