    Christ left the synagogue to minister. It was while he was in the world He was able to connect with those who really needed Him.

    The idea for this sermon comes from Beth Moore’s book "Jesus, The One And Only." I want to start this morning by asking you to get a picture in your head that illustrates ministry. Was your mental image of ministry: • A man passing out tracts on a street corner? • A missionary sharing Jesus ...read more
