#2 The Missiological Strategies of Network211

J. PHILIP HOGAN LECTURES         NETWORK211: A PROTOTYPE FOR 21ST CENTURY GLOBAL EVANGELISM AND DISCIPLESHIP         DR. MARK FLATTERY                 SECOND LECTURE   THE MISSIOLOGICAL STRATEGIES OF NETWORK211             OCTOBER 11, 2017                 ASSEMBLIES OF GOD THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY SPRINGFIELD, MISSOURI             The starting point for beginning a ministry is to determine its theological values. The next step is to set a strategy. Movement for the sake of moving gains motion only, but moving purposefully on vision, mission, and strategy provides a road map for accomplishment. We must do what we can and know that, ultimately, it is the Lord’s will that is to be done. Proverbs 19:6 states, “The mind of a man plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps” (NASB). May we...

#6 You Must Complete the Task

Seven Actions to Defeat Your Giant #6 As You Fight Your Battle, You Must Complete the Task (I Samuel 17:51-54)   In our first three actions, we saw how God prepared David before the battle of the ages against Goliath. In the same way, He has prepared you for your fight.

#5 You Must Do What You Know To Do

Seven Actions to Defeat Your Giant #5 As You Fight Your Battle, You Must Do What You Know to Do (I Samuel 17:48-50)               In previous articles, we discussed how David was prepared by God mentally, physically, and spiritually to enter the battlefield. Then, he stood before the giant and, in the first battle action, he declared that the battle was the Lord's and victory was ensured. Now, comes the moment of truth! David must fight! The anticipated battle would indeed be short and decisive. But, the outcome was not what the spectator armies predicted. Let's look at what happened and apply our second battle action.   The Historical Account "As the Philistine moved closer to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him. Reaching into his bag and taking out a stone, he slung it and struck the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell face down on the ground. So David ...
