3 October 2021 - New Creation Church Leadership Conference 2019 Final Session - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon NotesNew Sermon Notes: Pastor Joseph Prince shared powerful truths for pastors, leaders, and whoever wants to grow as a leader. Understand the DNA of a church organization that is built according to principles of the New Covenant of Grace! Praise and Worship Song Performed: 1. Before the Throne of God Above - Sovereign Grace Music 2. Lavish Love - New Creation Worship 3. Your Presence Is Heaven - Israel Houghton The entrance of God’s word gives light. When we sit at Jesus’ feet to receive His word, our lives will never be the same. When you first hear about Grace, your mind may not understand it, but your spirit will recognize the Gospel. This session is about understanding the DNA of New Creation Church and the way this local church is run. There is private correction even in a Grace church. The correction is for leaders in the church who are holding positions of influence if they have lifestyle sins. The members of the congregation are not to be disciplined like that, but to be fed with God’s word. God primarily corrects through His word, but if a Christian is not in the word, God will correct through circumstances. He does not correct with car accidents, sickness, or tragedies. However, He may allow one to become frustrated, so that they will want to pray and go back to receiving God’s word. The main purpose of the pulpit is to feed the Lord’s sheep. Not to beat the sheep by condemning them. People in the audience want to be fed. No subject is better than the Lord Jesus Himself. He is the bread of life. On the road to Emmaus, the two disciples treated Jesus as the means to an end. Their focus was the restoration of Israel. The Lord corrected them by expounding to the two disciples the things concerning Himself. Jesus hid their eyes from recognizing Him in person because it was more important for them to see Him in the Scriptures than in person. This gives equal opportunity to all to see Jesus—in the word. It was a Sunday when this happened. Jesus also broke bread with the two disciples on that Sunday. That is why we have the preaching of the Word and the Lord’s Supper together on Sundays. In the Book of Acts, the early church came together to break bread on a Sunday (the Lord’s day) and to hear the apostle Paul preach the Gospel. On the Day of Pentecost, many translations say that the Holy Spirit “fell” upon the disciples. However, it should be translated as “embraced”. At which point of Peter’s sermon did that happen? When he talked about the forgiveness of sins in Jesus’ name. This is the main point of the Gospel. When Eutychus (his name means “good fortune”) fell down from the widow and appeared to be dead, the apostle Paul did not end the service there. He continued to partake of the Holy Communion with everyone. Think about the priority there.
