Biblical Foundation for a Freedom Ministry
Freedom ministries aim to liberate individuals from spiritual, emotional, and relational bondage through the power of Christ. A thorough examination of key biblical passages highlights the foundational principles of such ministries. This document synthesizes insights from the exegesis papers on Isaiah 61, Matthew 10, Matthew 17, Ephesians 6, Acts 1-2, and 2 Corinthians 10-13, demonstrating how each text provides critical guidance for freedom ministry.
Matthew 10: An Itinerant Disciple’s Handbook
The ministry we have been called to steward is about helping individuals and couples be set free. The name (Sixty-One Three Ministries) comes from Isaiah 61:1-3. The Biblical foundation for it has been primarily Matthew 10:8. Doing a deeper dive into Matthew 10 and looking at the rest of the chapter relative to our ministry and specifically at the validity of looking at it being for disciples beyond the original Twelve was important.
