In this episode (filmed during the Covid-19 Epidemic) we discuss what God's expectations are for mankind. Looking at the Hebraic/Jewish mindset of stewardship, we look at King David and his mindset which brought success in the time he was King of Israel. This same mindset should be universal for Christians everywhere to best understand their role in today's world and current situation with the Corona virus. "8. Human Responsibility (1 Chr. 29:10-16). No text in the Bible more magnificently declares God’s sovereign power: there is no one like the Lord, the Almighty One, whose glory fills the universe. And yet, in the center of this grand anthem of acknowledgment to that towering truth, David asserts that although the kingdom is God’s (v. 11), God gives resources that are man’s to administrate. Verse 14 literally reads, “Everything that exists is from You, and we administer it from Your hand.” God is the fountainhead of all life and power; man is the appointed heir for its management. Psalms 8:6 and 115:16 affirm that while the created universe and the glory of the heavens are God’s and God’s alone, He has delegated the stewardship of earth’s affairs to mankind. Noble views of God’s sovereignty must be balanced with a complementary view of man’s duties and redeemed capacities. Neglect of this balance, while seeming to extol God’s greatness, can produce apathy or irresponsible attitudes. For example, God does not predestine mismanaged resources, families, politics, and so on, any more than He does human sinning. Man is responsible and accountable for earth’s problems and—reinstated under God—is intended to become the agent for their solution. He can only become such by drawing on God’s sovereign wisdom, power, and resource—that is, on God’s “kingdom.” Just as man’s sin and Fall have damaged the potential partnership between the Creator and His appointed heir to this planet, redemption has set the recovery in motion. Renewed under God, the redeemed may, in fact, partner with God and thereby decisively assist in the reestablishment of God’s rule over circumstances and situations on earth. But this only operates under the divine order within redemption’s plan under divine grace and through man’s receiving divine power by God’s Spirit."

In this episode, Steven Harris talks about the Patriarchs of the faith (Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob) and looks at their contribution to entrepreneurship and the example the set that maintains a standard relevant to today. 7. Patriarchal Examples (Gen. 26:1-5; 28:1-22). The promise of God to Abraham that he would be “heir of the world” (Rom. 4:13) is repeated to his offspring, Isaac and Jacob, in succession. God’s words and dealings in the lives of the patriarchs reveal that His unfolding program of redemption is dual: (1) restoring relationship to God to establish fellowship with Him and (2) restoring rulership in life under God to reestablish human ability to “rule” in life’s practical details of family and business. Thus, under His covenant, God promised these patriarchs both progeny—a family line—and property—an economic base. This illustrates God’s progressive processing of His redemptive promise. He not only provides for restored fellowship with Himself (relationship), but covenants for human fulfillment and personal fruitfulness in life. This plan is geared not only to bless His people, but to make them a blessing to others. Joseph’s life elaborates this principle. God redeems him from the pit by His merciful providence, then raises him to rulership in Egypt, for the saving of nations (Genesis 37-50).

Episode 9 talks about the Dominion man has been given by God, and how business minded people are more likely to walk out the principles of the Kingdom then your average church goer would ever consider... "2. Man’s Delegated “Dominion” (Gen. 1:26-28; 2:16-17). In creating man, the Sovereign of the universe makes a choice to delegate to man “dominion…on the earth” (v. 28). Man’s power and authority for exercising this rule originate in God’s intent to make man in His own image and likeness. Man’s ability to sustain his role as delegated ruler of earth will rest in his continued obedience to God’s rule as King of all. His power to reign in life will extend only as far as his faithfulness to obey God’s law. (See also 1 Chr. 29:10-16.)" Hayford, Jack W. ; Thomas Nelson Publishers: Hayford's Bible Handbook.

In this episode we discuss what is the Kingdom of God is, using a study written by Jack W. Hayford as the guide, and how it applies to our daily lives and business. It's time to make a difference in our environments and walk in the dominion God has given us! "1. God’s Sovereignty (Gen. 1:1). The necessary beginning point in studying the theme of “the kingdom of God” is the Bible’s opening verse. Here we meet the Sovereign of all the universe, whose realm, reign, and regency are described at the outset. (1) His realm (or scope of His rule) is transcendent; that is, not only does it include the entire physical universe, it exceeds it. He existed before all creation, He expands beyond it, and by virtue of having begotten it, He encompasses all that it is. (2) His reign (or the power by which He rules) is exercised by His will, His word, and His works. By His own will He creatively decides and designs; by His own word He speaks creation into being; and by His own works, His Spirit displays His unlimited power. (3) His regency (or authority to rule) is in His preexistence and holiness. He is there before creation “in the beginning.” Thus, as its Creator, He deserves to be its Potentate. His benevolent intent in creating things “good” reveals His holy nature (that is, complete and perfect), and thus His moral right to be creation’s King. All kingdom power and authority flow from Him." Hayford, Jack W. ; Thomas Nelson Publishers: Hayford's Bible Handbook.
