Faith Lessons on The Mission of Jesus by Ray Vander Laan. Enter the Chaos. In John 17:26 Jesus says: “I made known your name to them, and I will continue to make it known…” In this fourteenth volume of That the World May Know, you’ll deepen your understanding of this passionate revelation to a broken world God longs to redeem. Discover how Jesus triumphantly made God’s presence known on earth, and how he asks you to do the same -- bringing God’s shalom to the chaos of others. This is a five-session study, with each DVD segment being roughly 30 minutes long. The topics are:
1. Capernaum: Jesus Binds the Evil One
2. Decapolis: The Other Side -- Jesus and the Man from the Tombs
3. Crucifixion: The Coronation of a King
4. Ascension: The King Takes His Throne
5. Pentecost: God Changed His Address
Faith Lessons on the Early Church by Ray Vander Laan. The triumph of the Christian faith is nowhere more striking than in the ancient Roman province of Asia Minor. This video transports you to locations in Israel and Turkey from which the early Christian church, on fire with the message of Jesus, literally changed the world. By taking us into that immoral culture where the early Christian missionaries had such a dramatic impact, Ray Vander Laan reveals how Christians today can impact our culture for Christ.
