Notable Points:

  • What is APEST
    • Ephesians 4:1-16
    • Apostle: a person who is sent as a pioneer who is innovative and sets up a movement that is scalable
    • Prophet: challenges idolatry and shows the implications of the bible for our lives.
    • Evangelist: is the recruiter to the cause that really gets the buy in from people
    • Shepherds: those that create community and defend it
    • Teacher: the one who brings wisdom and understanding
    • All major Jesus movements have these people.
  • Equipping vs. perfect
    • These functions or individuals are vital for growing complete, mature, and full disciples.
  • We often tend to one of these areas and not others.
  • We have to change our approach in order to change our results.
  • Go back to Jesus and see if your model is in line with what He has said and that it represents Him
  • Think of America as a missionary context.
