Confessions Of A Sissy Preacher

Contributed by Michael Bell on Oct 18, 2000

The prophet Jeremiah implicitly revealed the responsibilities of the true preacher.

Intro One of the pitfalls a preacher or teacher of the Bible can run into is to always read the Bible looking for sermons or a Sunday School Lesson.

Unity Through Prayer

Contributed by Delray Lentz on Oct 31, 2023

I love it when someone calls me or texts me asking me questions about God’s Word. I don’t know all the answers, but I know the One who does! When I get these questions, it helps me grow. I believe it impossible for a church to grow, if the pastor and congregation are not growing in Christ!

Years ago, when Lisa and I joined a church that had just started, I invited some friends to church. They came, and one of them said “now that’s my kind of sermon, 13 minutes long”. Well, it wasn’t the short sermon that hooked him, because they never returned. Today may be the shortest sermon you ...read more
