     | 2,479 views

    Shortly before welcoming a new minister, a seasoned minister and friend of the congregation might come and help prepare the church for this new chapter in their history, explaining the role of ministry and how to care for their pastor.

    It will be exciting to welcome your new Pastor! How you view pastoral ministry has been influenced by all the ministers you’ve known. We see ministry through the lens of past experiences, good and bad. Hopefully we see ministry through the teachings of Scripture. My aim is to offer some advice ...read more

    So Many Lambs, An Abundance Of Wolves, Too Few Shepherds

    The events described in Revelation Chapter 6 describe the terrors that will come upon the earth. The lost are like sheep without a shepherd about to face this horrid time. We must bring them to Jesus before it is too late.

    Bible prophecy is not preached in a majority of churches today. The sad fact is that a lot of "churches" don't bother to preach from the Bible but are more than happy to cater to the unholy trinity of "me, myself, and I". They are in the business of people pleasing and ...read more
