A miracle is a work of God. We are to be this miracle in our city. It’s a call from God for us to pray miracles in one another. Miracles occur at the Word of God, but when God speaks it is our part to act upon His Word. Not only is it action, but a life of commitment that will bring this about. We are called to fulfill the ministry God has given and live this life of miracles.
In the seventh session of our EXPECT 2010 Church Leadership Conference, Pastor Jim Cymbala of Brooklyn Tabernacle speaks about "A House Divided."
In the eighth and final session of our EXPECT 2010 Church Leadership Conference, Pastor David Wilkerson shares his heart about the importance of minimizing our distractions and busyness, setting aside time each day to be alone with the Lord and seek His face. He encourages this generation to overcome their technology addiction — put down your gadgets, log off Facebook, and take a break from tweeting on Twitter to spend serious time every day in prayer.
In the sixth session of our EXPECT 2010 Church Leadership Conference, Pastor Jim Cymbala of Brooklyn Tabernacle speaks about "Preaching a Word of Fire."
In the third session of our EXPECT 2010 Church Leadership Conference, Pastor Carter Conlon of Times Square Church speaks about "Crisis Leadership."
In the fourth session of our EXPECT 2010 Church Leadership Conference, Pastor Claude Houde of Église Nouvelle Vie speaks about what it means to "expect," using Abraham as our example.
In the third session of our EXPECT 2010 Church Leadership Conference, Pastor Carter Conlon of Times Square Church answers the question, "What makes a great church?" It isn't the number of people that attend, having the gifts of the Holy Spirit, having knowledge and prophecy, having great faith, or caring for the poor. A great church is motivated by a love for God and a love for people.
In the opening session of our EXPECT 2010 Church Leadership Conference, Pastor Gary Wilkerson of The Springs Church talks about "Eager Expectations." It should be our eager expectation that we will not be ashamed; that we will live and die with full courage; and that we will rightly expect and fully experience fruitful labor.
In the second session of our EXPECT 2010 Church Leadership Conference, Nicky Cruz of Nicky Cruz Outreach speaks about overcoming spiritual depression. Our spiritual highs are often followed by spiritual lows. Elijah and Moses were both so depressed they asked God to take their life. Depression and burnout are an epidemic in the ministry. Many ministers are quitting because of moral failure, spiritual burnout, and contention in the church. Both Paul and David confessed their pain, trouble, and distress to God. Follow Jesus' example — draw away from the crowds and spend time with your Heavenly Father. He is listening and He cares!
The times we live in are both the time of greatest need for Christ's message and the time of greatest opportunity to share it. Christ's death allows for justification and redemption of every human being on the planet, but His church is the method of delivery. All who call upon the Lord will be saved, but before they can call on Him they have to hear about Him, which is our duty as believers.
