These are my notes from the 5 sessions I was in with Dr. Wood.
Session 1:
Pentecostal disciples live out a Spirit filled life. They are characterized by humility. That means to be destitute and completely dependent on God as related to Prov. 3:34 and I Peter 5:5.
He shared with us a progression that he sees in Mark chapter 9. He called it the path to spiritual pride. It starts with revelation which is God's presence. The next step was argument from a lack of prayer. That leads to arrogance or spiritual pride which ultimately leads to exclusivism, a us and no one else mentality.
To break free from that it starts with humility which God will honor (Luke 2). And we must have a hunger for His Spirit (Ps. 51). God will give us health. And we need to have heart which God will give us help (Luke 4).
Session 2:
Wise Leadership I Kings 2
1. Assess what needs to be eliminated. Eliminate those things that become a barrier to ministry. The vine that is pruned is the fruitful vine. (Eph. 4:25)
2. Assess what you need to keep or retain.
a. The Apostles doctrine
b. Mission
c. core values
3. Evaluate
4. I Kings 3 - what you should add. What do we need to be doing next?
