Diversity Parallels Early Church
- Modern America's increasing diversity mirrors the pluralistic societies where Paul planted churches.
- This challenges the notion that we must be less authoritative in diverse settings.
Paul's Evangelism Strategy
- Paul planted churches in diverse cities like Ephesus, Rome, and Corinth, not unified cultures.
- He taught for two years, possibly five hours daily, in Ephesus, evangelizing all of Asia.
Bold Truth and Prayer

- Combine bold teaching with prayer for signs and wonders, like in Acts 4:29-30.
