What does the word “apostolic” really mean? What are we trying to say when we use it?
If you have been around ministry long enough, you have probably heard it used as a way to exert authority over others.
But just because it has sometimes been wrongly used does not mean that we should avoid it altogether.

- Called together
- Empowered to heal
- Sent to preach
