    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Oct 8, 2020
     | 3,795 views

    Things have changed much since the first century, and yet much remains the same. Paul realized the danger of majoring on the minor and minoring on the major. His insight still speaks for ministries today.

    The Pursuit of Ministry 1 Thessalonians 2: 4-9 We have spent much time laying the groundwork for our study in this precious book. Paul was well aware of the faithfulness and influence the church in Thessalonica had on those around them. He was encouraged with the presence of their faith, ...read more

     | 4,872 views

    Paul wanted to ensure the Thessalonians imitated the example he had lived before them, and most importantly, the example of Christ. Rather than pretending to emulate their faith, they were to actively live out their faith.

    Imitators not Pretenders 1 Thessalonians 2: 10-13 As I studied this passage I was reminded of the need for sincerity and genuineness among the church. We live in a day plagued with hypocrisy. One of the most offered arguments against attending church in our generation is the presence of ...read more

    It’s a constant battle to make prayer not just external, but an action of listening to God that can change our hearts and behaviors.

    Tuesday of 21st week in Course Today we have one of the great analogies of Biblical literature–only St. Matthew has it–you strain out the gnat and swallow the camel. Jesus says “Oy! You nitpick the little stuff and neglect the critical duties.” The people described by the Hebrew word ...read more

    Many Christians believe that they are disciples of Jesus when, in fact, they are not. In this message, we see that there is a cost to being a disciple of Jesus and it’s a decision that we must make.

    Good morning. I pray that this Sunday morning finds you in good health and looking forward to this morning’s message. Let’s open with a word of prayer. I have a title on my bookshelf that is going to be pulled and read this year. The Cost of Discipleship, written in 1937 by Lutheran pastor and ...read more

    God has created men and women with equal status and value, but with different roles. God has given the primary role of spiritual leadership in the church and in the home to men. God has very high expectations for the kind of leadership men employ in the home and in the church.

    For Mother's Day I titled my sermon Mom Strong, highlighting some of the ways moms are strong. In following that theme the Father's Day sermon is titled, Super Dad. Let's see how we fathers can be Super Dads.

    SUPER DAD! One little boy's definition of Father's Day went like this: "Well, it's just like Mother's Day, only you don't spend as much." Speaking of spending, someone once said, "A father is someone who carries pictures where his money used to be." For Mother's Day I titled my sermon Mom Strong, ...read more

    The Great Commission is not about making converts. Rather, it is about making disciples and that task is not completed until each new disciple is enabled to obey everything Jesus commanded, including the command to go and make disciples. This leads to multiplication.

    A. Today, I want to talk about the strategy of multiplication. 1. Let’s start with a riddle and a joke. 2. What do you call a hen that can add, subtract, and multiply? A math-a-ma-chicken. 3. In the days of Noah, when the animals left the ark, Noah told them to go forth and multiply. a. After ...read more
