In this session, we transition from the foundations for building to discussing the spiritual environment which must be created in our churches if we truly want to build a church or a life based on God’s eternal purpose. Drawing from the life of Samuel, this session highlights the need for a major transition in our day to a church based on God’s eternal purpose. This session presents a brief summary of ten specific issues that must be addressed in order to build a church or a life based on God’s eternal purpose. This session is an important foundation for later sessions, which will help the church transition into becoming an eternal purpose church.
