Shaping The Clay Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 24, 2008

I am not much of a gardener. The Scripture says that there is a time to plant and a time to pluck up what is planted, but I must tell you that I don’t know the difference. I pluck up only what I am told to pluck up, because I don’t know a weed from a willow. However, the mistress of our little ...read more

Light Of The Gospel

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Oct 23, 2013

The message of the gospel defeats Satan. We don’t preach ‘your best life now.’ We preach Christ crucified – the only way to salvation. The Power of the gospel exposes, veils and reveals Christ crucified.

Opening illustration: Some things just don’t seem to fit in our modern 21st century. A tribe of headhunters is one of them. Yet there is one such group of people whose story is worth telling. A tribe living high in the Philippine mountains, a 3-day’s walk from the nearest city, has ...read more

“jesus Came To Overcome Blindness”

Contributed by Sean Harder on Dec 11, 2013

We heard last week that Jesus says he came so that no one should remain in darkness, and just before that he says that anyone who sees me sees the Father. What does this mean? It means that the truth that is the most imperative for all people, is to believe that Jesus is God in the flesh.

“Jesus Came to Overcome Blindness” (2 Cor 4:1-7) English author H. G. Wells—famous for science fiction novels like The Time Machine, and The War of the Worlds—once wrote a short story called “The Country of the Blind.” It’s about an inaccessible, ...read more

Contributed by Guy Mcgraw on Feb 13, 2012

Did you know that you have a ministry calling? Paul is not writing to a group of pastors but to a church. Do you know what your ministry calling is as a member of the Body of Christ? Do you know what to expect as you go out to minister?
