Unconventional Project Does What Organized Religion Can’t

Salt Lake City – The Jesus 4 King project is conducting workshops in Utah in November and December to help people become spiritual leaders of their families and communities. Interested volunteers can utilize free resources from Jesus4King.org, where they can also sign up to host a small group workshop.

These things are not being done in a corner. Community and religious leaders are being contacted and asked to repent and obey God. Community leaders are warned of the public consequences for failing to be godly stewards, while religious leaders are called to account for consuming people’s focus, efforts, and resources with the traditions of men.

Chris Stevens, founder of Jesus4King.org, says, “In order to stay in business, organized religion has to create the illusion that people must depend on them in order to connect with God. They are a counterfeit savior. We help people break free from their guilt-induced control and develop a highly relational home church.”

Claiming to be part of a growing movement of people around the world who are rejecting “manmade Christianity” in favor of pursuing genuine spirituality, Chris says, “There is a spiritual revolution underway because many people want to make a difference but are ill-prepared because of the pervasive ‘leave-it-to-the-experts’ propaganda. This mentality has impacted society in a lot of negative ways; with families probably hurt the most.”

He continues, “The priesthood of all believers is a New Testament concept that is rarely emphasized by those whose paycheck or social status depends on unbiblical perceptions. These are usually the ones who are most aggressively opposed to the spiritual revolution.”

The Jesus 4 King project seeks to enlist, enable, and encourage volunteers to develop highly relational small groups where people help themselves and each other to grow spiritually and stay engaged and involved in meaningful work. Visit Jesus4King.org to volunteer or learn more.

ABOUT – Jesus4King.org was launched to combat Biblical illiteracy and anti-Christian influences, which many say are the cause of unhealthy and often violent problems plaguing our culture, including: widespread corruption; dishonesty; drug and alcohol abuse; sex abuse; welfare dependency and bankruptcy; and the ethical/moral/religious/family decline.

Project Works to Deconstruct the Establishment

“The established church is imploding and the Jesus 4 King project is helping people escape.” They say they are part of a growing movement of people around the world who are rejecting “manmade Christianity” in favor of pursuing genuine spirituality.

But they are also calling for community leaders to be godly public servants that protect and uphold justice for all. In the Boise area, they are contacting dozens of leaders asking them to repent and obey God, and warning of the public consequences if they don’t.

Chris Stevens started Jesus4King.org to enlist, enable, and encourage individuals and families to take responsibility for their spiritual growth rather than depending on ‘professionals’. He helps volunteers develop highly relational small groups where people help themselves and each other to grow spiritually and stay engaged and involved in meaningful work.

Chris says, “There is a spiritual revolution underway because many people want to make a difference, but are ill-prepared because of the pervading leave-it-to-the-experts mentality. This mentality impacts the whole society in a lot of negative ways, with families probably hurt most.”

Religious leaders are being called to account for consuming people’s focus, efforts, and resources with the traditions of men. Chris claims that organized religion fails to help people become godly leaders because if it did it would go out of business.

Here’s how Jesus4King.org describes first century Christianity: Day by day, from house to house, they met for fellowship, prayer, studying the word of God, and on the first day of the week they gathered to eat the Lord’s Supper. This was like a family get-together in someone’s home to enjoy a love feast, and each had a psalm, a teaching, an exhortation.

“The priesthood of all believers is a New Testament concept that is rarely emphasized by those whose paycheck and social status depends on unbiblical perceptions. These are usually the ones who are most aggressively opposed to the spiritual revolution,” said Chris.

Southern Idaho the September Focus of Jesus 4 King Project

TWIN FALLS – Chris Stevens and his family are traveling coast to coast calling the country to repentance and obedience to God. They are contacting community leaders and will be in front of the Twin Falls County Courthouse at 3:00 pm on Tuesday, September 11th, enlisting volunteers in the battle against Biblical illiteracy and anti-Christian influences.

Chris is the founder of JesusForKing.com, which serves as the training and communications hub of the Jesus 4 King project. He is available for personal consultations, public speaking engagements, and media interviews for the Magic Valley in September. The next stop is Boise in October, and then on to Utah, Nevada, and California.

“According to the Bible,” Chris says, “God is now declaring to men that all people everywhere should repent, because He has fixed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness through a Man whom He has appointed, having furnished proof to all men by raising Him from the dead.”

Not the typical approach to Christianity, they are calling community leaders to account and they are out in people’s homes telling Bible stories and discussing righteousness, self-control, and judgment to come. They are planting reproducible Jesus 4 King small groups around southern Idaho that teach a firmly grounded faith, transformation of character, training in spiritual warfare, and successful stewardship.

Chris says, “We’re not out to reform the government or other institutions; we’re out to restore people to God.” This idea of restoration became a movement in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries after freedom was won in America. A wide cross-section of people from different denominations and countries, many unknown to each other, quit trying to reform the traditions and creeds of men and attempted a simple and genuine obedience to the Bible.

Similar to what happened two hundred years ago, there is an emerging movement of people around the world today who are rejecting manmade decrees in favor of simple, New Testament Christianity. The main thrust of the restoration movement continues to be a plea to return to the word of God as the basis for unity among believers and as the sole authority in everything pertaining to life and godliness.

Reproducible Jesus 4 King small groups are designed to spread to every neighborhood in the region, and may be held at any time of day. Anyone who’s looking for simple spirituality and meaningful growth can visit JesusForKing.com and volunteer to host a Jesus 4 King small group in their neighborhood.

IDAHO FALLS – JesusForKing.com team members will be in front of the Bonneville County Courthouse on Tuesday afternoon, July 24th, from 3:30 to 5:30, enlisting people in the battle against Biblical illiteracy and anti-Christian influences.

Theirs is not the typical approach to Christianity. They are calling on community leaders to repent and obey God and they are out in people’s homes telling Bible stories and discussing righteousness, self-control, and judgment to come.

Chris Stevens, the founder of JesusForKing.com, says, “We start with storytelling, which is a fun and effective way to get a bird’s-eye view of the Bible. You get your family and friends together to listen to a story and discuss its meaning. It’s simply a blast!”

They are seeking volunteers to host neighborhood Jesus 4 King small groups. In addition to storytelling, they talk about a firmly grounded faith, transformation of character, training in spiritual warfare, and successful stewardship. There are no costs involved.

Through much research and experience, Chris has found that most people don’t learn best through lecture-style teaching, which is common to most churches. He concluded that this is one of the factors contributing to the decline of Christian principles in American society.

Most people learn best through group discussion; and learning retention is highest for those sharing with others. Recognizing that there are different learning styles and various factors that contribute to learning retention, Chris also wrote four study guides that are available for free at JesusForKing.com.

Reproducible Jesus 4 King small groups are designed to spread to every neighborhood in the region, and may be held at any time of day. Those who wish to get involved can visit the courthouse on Tuesday afternoon or visit JesusForKing.com anytime.
