    The focus of this sermon is to help the congregants get sold on the idea that training is a regular part of the Christian life. It is difficult to engage in any sort of intensive training activity unless you are convinced that there is a need for that.

    Humans are complex beings. We have many different aspects, such as the physical, intellectual, social, spiritual, or emotional aspects. Because of sin, we experience negative feelings that, if left unmanaged, can bother us, disturb our daily activities, and eventually destroy our lives

     | 1,160 views

    In a world saturated with deception and shifting opinions—even infiltrating the church—believers must stand firm in the timeless truth of God's Word, pursue godliness through disciplined devotion, and anchor their hope in Christ, who alone is the unchanging way, truth, and life.

    The Pastoral Challenge

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Oct 24, 2022
     | 4,287 views

    Timothy was not technically a pastor; he was actually Paul’s “delegate.” Nonetheless, he approximated the pastoral role in that he was a shepherd. Timothy faced a number of challenges, as do modern pastors who are serious about the Word. Let’s look at a few of them.

At a recent pastor’s retreat each minister in attendance was asked the following question: “How many people does it take to replace a burnt out light bulb?” The answers were as follows. 2.A Reformed Pastor responded, “None.
