Having And Giving Authority

Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 18, 2009

How do we decide whom to help and how, of all the needs presented? Jesus responded to the needs that presented themselves, He discerns what the real problems are, and He trusted others with authority.

The problem is never whether somebody needs help. The problem is always which somebody we can help. The issue is never whether there are any needs. There are always needs. In any given moment there are more needs than anyone person can possibly address. The issue is how to make the choice. Who ...read more

Some Thoughts On The Lords Prayer

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 9, 2020

A Corporate, Intimate, Reverent Prayer.

SOME THOUGHTS ON THE LORD’S PRAYER. Matthew 6:7-15. In the expression, “When you (all) pray” (Matthew 6:7), Jesus assumes that His disciples (in all ages) WILL pray. A prayer-less Christian is like a man or a woman who does not speak to their nearest and dearest! Can you imagine it? ...read more

Contending With Evil Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 13, 2019

Not Ok, That's Ok

Contributed by Samuel Fulkerson on Apr 7, 2013

We are not perfect. We aren't OK. We have failings and weakness. We all make mistakes. So we are not OK. Yet Jesus went to the cross knowing what we would do right and do wrong. Knowing the good, bad and ugly of it all; He went all the way for all of us

One Word That Makes Us Bolder In Faith

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Feb 17, 2015

Things We Value In Ministry Series

Contributed by Manny Salva Cruz on Feb 28, 2016

Ministry work should be done by every Christian not just for pastors and church leaders. In this message, we will learn from the life of Deborah three things that can help us as we minister to God, to the Christians and to the unbelievers.

Many of us think of ministry as the work done by pastors, by missionaries, by Christian Conference speakers or evangelists. We rarely think that work done by bankers, by lawyers, by engineers or homemakers can also be considered as ministry. We have a wrong notion that only those who get their ...read more
