    Paul’s Service, Speech, And Stand

    A song that a lot of churches used to sing a lot, was, “I shall not be moved.”

    The chorus of that song goes like this, “I shall not be, I shall not be moved; I shall not be, I shall not be moved: just like a tree that’s planted by the waters, Lord, I shall not be moved.” But the problem with many of the saints of God singing that song is that they are not like a tree planted ...read more

    Strong churches are like strong homes, they don’t “just happen”. It takes work to make them strong. Let's look at some ways from the scriptures.

    Strong churches are like strong homes, they don’t “just happen”. There are some very important ingredients – key parts. I feel the starting point to understand and remember, “It’s God’s church and it’s God’s plan.” 1. Ephesians 5:25; The church is the object of Christ’s love. 2. 1 Corinthians ...read more

    In chapter 19 we read where Paul's ministry reached its climax in Ephesus.

    God worked in a marvelous way! New converts actually forsook their former practice of black magic, and in a public burning, they destroyed over $10,000.00 worth of occult scrolls and magic charms, thus openly proclaiming their faith in the Lord Jesus.

    These are the final instructions given to a church whose name means “desirable”. Would our church today be willing to be this bold, this committed, this faithful to the calling that God has placed on each of us?

    In Acts 20, the Apostle Paul gives a farewell speech to the Ephesian elders. What can we learn from this speech?

    During his third missionary journey, Paul wanted to meet with Ephesian elders and give a charge to them. However, he did not travel to Ephesus probably because he was warned it would be too dangerous, so he sent messengers and had the Ephesian elders meet him at Miletus. The reason why Paul ...read more

    In this sermon, we look at two passages that describe Paul's leadership, and then we glean leadership principles from them.

    Introduction: A. The story is told of a tribe of Native Americans who came to their Chief one autumn and asked him if the winter was going to be cold or not. 1. Not really knowing for sure how cold the winter would be, the chief replied that the winter was going to be cold and that the members of ...read more

    So Long, Farewell (I'll Tell You This...) Series

    Several years ago I was leaving a church and looked for ideas for winding down or farewell sermons. I found few ideas. I was able to piece a few options from reference to Paul’s final meeting with the Ephesian elders and Paul’s final thoughts to Timothy.

    This lesson is one of the “farewell sermons” I put together. I have a bibliography for those who would like it.This sermon became the last one I preached in my previous church. The title was inspired by the tagline of a comedian who was popular when I was a kid and I have a series (unrelated to ...read more

    Thoughts In 2 Peter – Number 7 - A Look At Peter’s Exposure Of Destructive Wolves/ False Teachers – 2 Peter 2:1-3 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Feb 27, 2026
     | 106 views

    Superficial knowledge of the scriptures allows error on a large scale. The words of false teachers are false, but the false becomes true to those who are deceived. Error thrives in untaught conditions just as disease thrives in unsanitary environments. Peter opens up on these savage wolves.

    THOUGHTS IN 2 PETER – NUMBER 7 - A LOOK AT PETER’S EXPOSURE OF DESTRUCTIVE WOLVES/ FALSE TEACHERS – 2 Peter 2:1-3 [1]. INTRODUCTION Peter had a lot to say about false prophets and teachers. WHY WOULD THIS BE SO? Firstly the composure of Christians is at stake because the false teachers, the ...read more

    Called To Serve The Lord

     | 54 views

    Serving God is a privilege. It is an honor. Not everyone is called to serve the Lord. Though the Word of God says many are called but very few are chosen. I remember one very old book authored by a mighty Man of God named TL Osborn. It said, "ONE WAY- JESUS & ONE JOB- TO SERVE HIM."

    The Bible says that the harvest is plentiful but the labourers are few. It is also stated that many are called but only few who are chosen. I always count it a privilege to serve God. That is one of the greatest honors one could receive from Him. Serving God comes with a price, a sacrifice. ...read more
