Matthew 16:18-19
¹⁸ And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my CHURCH, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. ¹⁹ I will give you the KEYS of the kingdom of heaven; whatever … you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.

Christ came to build strong local churches, so strong that even the power of darkness cannot prevail against it. He has given us the KEYS to build His church, that is, His Word.

John 8:32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

Notice that it is the truth that you know, that will set you free. Hence, we have put together a series of Bible study materials that brings you the 5 C’s benefits:

1. CALLING: It sets you free from bondages and to be all that God calls you to be.
   People attending the Bible studies are delivered from rejection, poverty, insecurity, inferiority, sickness, and fear without even being conscious of it. They find direction and vision in life, have great breakthroughs in finances, relationships, emotions and health.
   
   
2. COMMANDED BLESSING: It enables you to flow with the Vision of RLC and receive the commanded blessing.
   Psalms 133 How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity! ² It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on Aaron's beard, down upon the collar of his robes. ... For there the LORD commands his blessing, even life forevermore.
   
   Every church and every ministry is unique. RLC has unique visions and dreams. As God puts you here, flow in line and be united with the vision and dream of this ministry and receive the commanded blessing
   
   Acts 2:42 They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. NIV
   
   The Kingdom Series is an extension of the teaching ministry of Pastor Joshua.
   
   The study guides are from his teachings and sermons over the years.
   
   Even if you have gone through other foundational series, it is important that you go through this series. Just as specialist doctors moving to new hospitals have to study the unique instruments of the new hospital, you need to be familiar with the instrument that we are using to make disciples in this church.
   
   
3. COMPREHENSIVE: It gives you a comprehensive and complete coverage of key biblical truths.
   Materials are gleaned from our experience as well as men of God with proven ministries such as: Kenneth Hagin; Vernon Falls, Rick Warren, Irvin Rutherford, Paul Yonggi Cho, John Maxwell, as well as Joseph Prince who has inspired and confirmed the rich heritage Lutherans have in the teaching of faith and grace, a heritage since the time of Saint Augustine, Martin Luther and even Abraham who experienced grace, believed in God and was reckoned as righteous. Gen 15:6
   
   Genesis 15:6
   ⁶ Abram believed the LORD, and he credited it to him as righteousness.
   
   
4. COMPETENCE: It imparts the skills and enabling to impact lives.
   2 Tim 2:2 And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able (be competent) to teach others also. NKJV
   
   Faithfulness produces competence.
   
   The Kingdom Series is simple enough for those having gone through each course faithfully to start teaching others. You don't have to have the talent of Benny Hinn or Billy Graham to be used of God to impact lives.
   
   
5. CAUGHT & not just taught: It imparts faith, grace and enabling power.
   
   The student does not just receive head knowledge. The series is practical oriented. Many things are caught not just taught. Students receive impartations of faith, grace and enabling power.
   
   Rom 1:11 For I long to … impart to you some spiritual gift, so that you may be established. NKJV
   
   Deut 8:18 … for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant. NKJV
