Week 5- The Influence of the Message (1 Corinthians 1:18)
God has chosen the foolishness of preaching to save those who hear and believe. Scripture calls the message that we proclaim both the power of God unto salvation and foolishness to many who hear it. For it isn’t based on human reason, it cannot be understood that way; it is instead Spirit taught. Do we really understand that without proclaiming His message people cannot be saved? Knowing that it is indeed foolishness to some, in a strange way, should assist us in being emboldened to preach Jesus!WatchNotesDownloadDateTitle

Week 3- The Free Man’s Influence (Mark 5:1-20, Acts 16:22-34)
Only those who are free can lead others to freedom. We look at the demoniac who was set free from demon possession by Jesus. Afterward he was told to return to his oîkos, where he described the great things done for him. Paul and Silas were freed from a different kind of imprisonment and radically affected someone else’s oîkos because of it. - Jul 22, 2018Week 2- Levi’s Influence (Luke 5:27-32)
Week 2- Levi’s Influence (Luke 5:27-32)
Levi gives us an excellent blueprint of how we can come to Jesus, follow Him, and leave our old life behind. All the while, still influencing those that are in our oîkos that desperately need to meet Jesus. What did Levi do? He threw a party! - Jul 15, 2018Oikos – Week 1 – What is Oikos?
Oikos – Week 1 – What is Oikos?
This week we define what oîkos is and how we can leverage our relationships to advance the kingdom of God. Oikos is like Ohana. Ohana means family, and family means no on gets left behind.
