I. Course Description This class will address the following questions: Does the church today have authority or was it only for the early church? Is the power and authority for only a select few handpicked men and women of God in the Body of Christ? Is everything that happens in the Church and the world the will of God? Students will come face to face with the answers to these questions and more, as well as learning how to effectively do the works of Jesus today just like the New Testament saints accomplished in the book of Acts.
