Apostles

[LeadWorship]

The apostles I know have a servant's heart.

These are some scriptures that reflect apostles' responsibilities -


for today:


1. Taking the gospel to unreached areas such as Rom. 15:20, NIV).

2. Plant churches such as 1Co 3::10

3. Help with problems such as Gal 1:7,

4. Appointing and training the initial leaders of a church. (Acts 14:21-23 -Titus 1:5).

5. Promoting unity in the body of Christ (see Eph. 4:1-16).

6. Signs and wonders such as Mark 16:17-20; 2 Cor. 12:12 - "Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds."

I had posted these on another forum and was advised that Barnabas didn't plant any churches; therefore, that shouldn't be added to the list. To me, he traveled with other apostles such as Acts 13:2, 7 and 14:4; so he planted churches.

Sounds good to me.

Sorry, the Mark 16 reference should have included v. 14 that states Christ Jesus was speaking to the eleven. I will change the reference to Mark 16:14-through v.20.

Ok... Is it your position that because He was speaking to The Eleven, He was speaking *only* to them?

If applied to, e.g., the Last Supper Discourse or Luke's version of the Great Commission, such a hermeneutic could be rather problematic.

Apostles, prophets, etc. are for today.

The scriptural references provided the information for the list of responsibilties/duties/roles of apostles. Just trying to show who was being talked to.

ok?
