     | 7,438 views

    Knowing the disciples would face a difficult and discouraging task at times, Jesus sought to encourage them by reminding them of their standing with God. We too can draw strength from the Lord and need reminded of that which is available to the believer.

    Committed to Serve Matthew 10: 29-33 Jesus had shared much with the disciples prior to sending them out in pairs of two for ministry. He had been very straightforward with them, revealing the difficulties and opposition they would encounter as the proclaimed the Good News. Some would happily ...read more

    As Jesus continued to provide instructions regarding the ministry He had called the disciples to engage, again He emphasized the difficulty they would encounter. Although this was a worthy task, with eternal implications, their opposition would be evident and extensive.

    Confident to Serve Matthew 10: 23-28 As we continue to study the conversation Jesus had with the disciples in order to prepare them for Kingdom ministry, again we find the Lord being totally honest with them about what to expect. While their task was certainly worthwhile, having eternal ...read more

    Immediately following his instruction for ordaining elders in each city, Paul revealed the great need to have elders in place within the churches - false doctrine, immorality, and idolatry. It was imperative the church be able to deal with the many challenges she faced.

    Challenges for the Cretian Church Titus 1: 10-16 Following the charge to ordain elders in every city, and providing detailed instruction regarding the qualifications needed for an elder, Paul revealed the great need within Crete.

    Jesus had spent time with the disciples, preparing them for the work of ministry. He had instructed them on where to go, what to do, and how to conduct themselves among men. Then He shared the difficulty they would face as they served Him, being rejected by most.

    Courage to Serve Matthew 10: 16-22 Jesus had commissioned the twelve for ministry, providing detailed instruction regarding the work they were expected to perform.

     | 5,608 views

    Along with the instruction Paul gave in his letter to Timothy, he also shared with Titus concerning the qualifications for elders, bishops, or pastors within the church. This passage was given for the benefit of the church in selecting and ordaining elders to serve in the local church.

    Elders in the Church Titus 1: 5-9 After a warm greeting, Paul immediately got to the heart of the matter. He was writing to Titus with purpose, seeking to equip him for ministry, while serving to establish local churches.

    Prior to sending the disciples out in ministry, Jesus sought to prepare them for the task ahead. He did not promise it would be easy, but He did promise to provide for them. We share the same promises. Service isn't always easy, but the Lord is faithful to provide.

    Conditioned to Serve Matthew 10: 9-15 As we continue to examine the instructions Jesus gave the disciples prior to sending them out to share their faith, we discover additional benefit for our lives and witness as well. While these were sent solely to the house of Israel, prior to Jesus’ death and ...read more

     | 7,228 views

    Titus is one of three epistles of Paul referred to as pastoral epistles. While these were written to young pastors that Paul desired to equip for ministry, there is much wisdom that is applicable for every believer. Paul begins this epistle with an effort to encourage and equip Titus for ministry.

    Equipped to Serve Titus 1: 1-4 Our text today comes from one of the Pastoral Epistles. Titus was a young preacher and faithful helper of Paul. We know from Verse 5 that Paul had left Titus on the Island of Crete to settle the churches there and set in order their worship and operation. This was a ...read more

    Having taught the disciples to pray that the Father would send forth laborers into the harvest, Jesus commissioned them to serve in the harvest, essential using them as an answer to their prayers.

    Commissioned to Serve Matthew 10: 5-8 Today I want to begin a series focused on Jesus sending the twelve out to labor in ministry. Up until this point, Jesus had ministered alone. Granted, the disciples were continually with Him, and crowds were normally around, but these were all observers or ...read more

    Paul urged the believers in Thessalonica to follow the example he had lived before them, walking in a way that would glorify the Lord, revealing the transformation they had received. We too have received this mandate - to walk worthy of our calling.

    Paul spoke of various vessels within a great house. We are all vessels, belonging to the Master. Each vessel is different, and yet each has potential and is expected to be of use. We are either a vessel of honor or dishonor.

    Vessels of Honor 2 Timothy 2: 19-23 Much like the Lord, Paul was a master of using ordinary illustrations to reveal significant truth. Our text today is yet another example of Paul’s unique and memorable imagery. Knowing the need for committed service, along with the struggle to remain pure and ...read more

    Sound doctrine is essential for strong churches and believers. While false teachers abound, the best defense is a thorough understanding of truth. The Word is our final authority for faith and practice.

    Exposed to the Truth 2 John 9-13 The letter John wrote to the elect lady and her children was short and to the point. He was impressed with the testimony of their lives and their commitment to abiding in the truth. It is evident that John desired to encourage them in the faith, seeking to equip ...read more
