  1. What’s a Real Christian? Paradise Productions Presents! Like… If Jesus’ & His disciples would be alive today, what would they do?

  2. Would this be Jesus’ church today? Would He preach to 30.000 followers every week? I mean…He was the best minister ever!

  3. No. He never settled down & built a mega church to preach to the same 30.000 people every Sunday. Jesus kept moving around, going everywhereresponding to the cries of needy individuals. “who went about doing good & healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him” Acts 10:38

  4. Jesus’ only occasional Mass Evangelism were non-planned outdoor events! And many came for fish sandwiches only! He didn’t even stop long enough to build a tent!

  5. 10 main reasons why people like Mega churches!

  6. Did He entertain 30.000 followers every Sunday? No! He collected 12-70 disciplesand sent them out two by two.

  7. Jesus traveled around personally to single-handedly find & call his 12 disciples. “Walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two fishermen.” And He said, “Follow Me and I will make you fishers of men!”

  8. He didn’t say: Hi Guys! Like to come to my mega church on Sunday morning? We’ve got cool music & an easy sermon! Besides, what is cool music? Nah! Thanks Pal! We worship on the Sabbath day in our own house and we fish Saturday night, so we sleep in!

  9. Nothing wrong with musical entertainment or praising the Lord together, but don’t call it “God’s Service!” And you don’t need to build big billion dollar stadiums to do that and so doing rob the mission field of support! No! Your service doesn’t start until you leave the darn buildings!

  10. WHEN Jesus went to church, he forcefully evicted the Money Changers THREE times, (International Bankers!) And EACH time he almost got stoned to death for it! Each time He left Judea to let things cool down! Moral: Churches! Don’t blame the Bankers? “And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, & the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables.” John 2:15.

  11. Mega church pastor 500.000 $ salary.

  12. Church has become big business!! YET THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH BIG BUSINESS, AS LONG AS IT PREACHES REAL GOSPEL!

  13. Before Jesus left He commanded them to “go!” “And He said unto them, ‘GO YE into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature!’ - Mk 16:15

  14. And you don’t need to be a flamboyant preacher nor have a billion $ church building or Mega Entertainment Hall to do that! OK! I ask Him in my heart now! Hi! Jesus loves you! OK! I’d like to know more about Him! Let’s go to my house! All you need to do is …GO where the sheep are and love them individually into His fold! And you can use your house or even a shack to teach them the Bible!

  15. “Well”, you say, “Jesus said, you shall do greater works than I!” Isn’t that how the Early Church operated? Bigger Halls & Crowds & Sermons? Jesus is the Messiah, and he loves you! Jésus est le Messie! Et il t’aime! Ο Ιησούς είναι το Messiah και σας αγαπά. Jesus è il Messiah e li ama. Jesus ist der Messias und Er liebt dich Jesus es el Messias, et il te quiero! The Upper Room wasn’t a church. They were praying & waiting there for 10 days for the promise of the Holy Spirit! After it came they went out witnessing to many in other languages!

  16. After they went out the 11 Disciples stood up with Peter who preached a tough sermon to a spontaneous crowd, as he also did in the temple, after healing the lame man The results were that first 3000 and after 5000 men joined the Church! NOT a building! But the houses of the first 500 Christians, sharing all things!

  17. The first Christians were ALL disciples who lived together, studied the scriptures, & preached the Gospel! “And all that believed were together and sold their possessions and goods and parted them to all men as every man had need! And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved. ” Acts 2:44-47

  18. They were HOME churches! They didn’t get involved in politics, and after persecution kept a polite distance from the jealous religionists! —The Scribes and Pharisees! Nor did they preach the return for scattered Zionist Jews to Israel and were even less willing to fight ungodly World Wars for them! That’s what the real Christians of the Early Church were like!

  19. Their 8000 disciples went OUT to preach the Gospel daily! “And daily in the temple and in every house they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ! Acts 5:42

  20. Not like this! AND THAT’S EXACTLY THE WAY WE COULD DO IT TODAY! But like this! What are you doing for Him and for the unsaved that a real Christian is supposed to do?
