What if you had everything the world offers—billions of dollars, athletic fame, and a religious reputation—but you were spiritually dead? In this deeply moving and visually descriptive session, John Barnett takes us from the opulent mansions of England to the cannibal-infested jungles of Africa to illustrate the "Power of Consecration." If you are tired of just "singing the songs" like a Sardian Christian and want to see real power in your life, this class is your roadmap.
Here is why you cannot miss this class:
1. THE "SARDIAN" ATHLETE Meet C.T. Studd, the Cambridge athletic hero whose records still stand today. His father owned 100 square miles of India and lived in massive estates like Tedworth House. Yet, John reveals that C.T. was the ultimate "Sardian Christian"—he went to church, sang the hymns, and looked the part, but he wasn’t saved. Discover how a hired evangelist confronted this wealthy heir and changed the course of history.
2. THE WORST SPOT ON EARTH Why would a man who inherited a fortune choose to live in a shack? John Barnett traces Studd’s journey from China to India, and finally to the "Heart of Africa"—a place the British government called "demon-infested." Learn why Studd chose to live among naked cannibals and pygmies, and how he traded a mansion for a hut to find the true riches of Christ.
3. THE ROCKING CHAIR STRATEGY Forget complex mission boards and strategies. John describes Studd’s simple, radical daily routine: Reading the Bible from 3:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m. every morning, then sitting in a rocking chair by the fire to talk about the True God. This session challenges our modern reliance on programs and proves that a consecrated life immersed in the Word is the most powerful weapon on earth.
4. THE SEA OF TOOTHY SMILES Prepare to be brought to tears by the final scene of Studd’s life in 1931. John paints the picture of a dying man surrounded by 5,000 former headhunters—now clothed in banana leaves for modesty—singing the songs of Zion. It is the ultimate proof of the lesson’s core truth: The only thing you can take with you to Heaven is people.
THE BOTTOM LINE: You can spend your life building a fortune that you will leave behind, or you can consecrate your life and take a crowd with you to Glory. Join John Barnett to meet the Billionaire in the Hut and decide which legacy you want.
