    : “Everything rises or falls with leadership.” John Maxwell. The church is an organism (living, growing body). The organism must have organization. The organization must have oversight. That’s why he calls church leaders!

    In looking at the lit of spiritual gifts in Romans 12:6-8, we've looked at prophecy, service, teaching, encouraging and giving so far. Today we will learn about the gift of leading.

    GIFTED (part five) The seven gifts listed in Rom. 12:6-8 are: Prophecy, Service, Teaching, Encouraging, Giving, Leading, Mercy. Last week we looked at Encouragement and Giving. The OT word for encouragement means to strengthen. To encourage is to inspire, to lift someone’s spirits, to instill ...read more

     | 36,873 views

    This part is a continuation of the Holy Spirit's role in the functioning of the New Testament church which began in Part 4 of this series. In this part we examine the greater and lesser gifts and functions of apostles and prophets in the early church.

    This nine-part series was originally developed for a class environment, and later adapted for use in a prison ministry conducted via correspondence. Because of that background, questions were developed for each lesson for participants to use in a setting conducive to discussion, or as handouts for ...read more

    Doing Church God’s Way: Marks Of Maturity Series

    Contributed by Dana Chau on Jun 28, 2025
     | 346 views

    Did you know that the Bible says, “Whoever aspires to be a leader desires a noble task”? Maybe this would make more sense if you knew what a mature church leader looked like. You are invited to learn and grow into the mature leader God wants to lead His church!

    Doing Church God’s Way: Marks of Maturity 1 Timothy 3:1-16 Jay Kesler, the past President of Youth for Chirst, was on an airplane one day. He sat next to a young man. When lunch was served, the young man declined the lunch. As Mr. Kesler ate his lunch, he noticed that the young man’s ...read more

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

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Feb 29, 2024
     | 1,041 views

    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

    In the book of Acts, the apostle Paul leaves the city of Ephesus for the last time. In his farewell to the elders of the church, he summarized his work both as a fellow elder and fellow servant of the Lord Jesus Christ

    In Acts 20, Paul was about to leave Ephesus and the church he helped to plant. For over three years, he and his fellow elders in the faith worked together to proclaim the message of salvation in Jesus Christ alone. He also spent considerable time teaching the Word of God and sound doctrine ...read more

    This is a detailed study verse by verse. You will need to analyze, synthesize, and then summarize to fit your need. I have used several different sources to which I give credit.

    I Timothy Chapter 3 I Tim 3:1 This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.

    Nurturing Your Next Pastor

     | 2,331 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

    The 2024 election will have a huge impact on every aspect of our lives but some Christians are still confused about deciding who they will choose because they see that the two candidates do not meet their criteria as a national leader. How to elect a president biblically?

    Today I will discuss a topic related to next month’s presidential election. I am not an American citizen, so I do not have the right to vote and I have no personal interest whatsoever. I do realize that if I preach on this sensitive topic, there is a risk of being misunderstood and disliked by ...read more

    Trustworthy Saying - Part 3

     | 510 views

    Spiritual leadership in the church is necessary. Without spiritual leaders you will have leadership, but as immature or nonspiritual, they will draw people after themselves. This sermon is about the desire to serve as a spiritual leader.

    Trustworthy Saying #3 (1 Tim. 3:1-7) Intro: A. Today we are going to study another of Paul’s “trustworthy sayings” taken from 1 Tim. 3:1. The Bible tells us read about the role of the minister or evangelist, and the character of spiritual leaders we often call “elders” or “shepherds.” We also ...read more
