    Studying For Divine Approval

    Contributed by James Awosina on Jul 5, 2019
     | 8,485 views

    The apostolic charge to every preacher and teacher of the word is "study". Our ministry will lack the substance of divine approval and saving, sanctifying power without the diligent study of the Word of God on daily basis.

    STUDYING FOR DIVINE APPROVAL 2 Timothy 2:15 “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” Paul was Timothy’s mentor, pastor and leader. He understood perfectly Timothy’s shortcomings as a young pastor under his tutelage. To ...read more

    "i Will Proclaim The Truth" Series

     | 2,879 views

    The Bible says that both people and society will grow more wicked as the time approaches for the return of the Lord Jesus Christ. The preacher is to face this with the soul-convicting, life transforming power of the Word and Spirit, no matter the cost.

    Anyone who makes the ridiculous statement that the Bible is merely a human book, and nothing more than a collection of inspiring stories has let others do their thinking for them, mimicking someone else's skepticism, or have claimed to have read it to end up condemning what it says about the ...read more

    Come let us rebuild the altar of a holy God. Often prayer can seem like an obligation and a chore. Prayers do not have to be long, one Preacher prayed 63 words and had a victory.

    PRAYER AS AN INVESTMENT? By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com AS A YOUNG MAN I OFTEN MISQUOTED SOME BIBLE VERSES. IN IGNORANCE I SAID: THE GOOD OL’ BOYS CAME TO JESUS AND ASKED JESUS: LORD WILL YOU TEACH US HOW TO PRAY? This is not at all what the boys ask the teacher to do? THEY ...read more

    A good preacher friend of mine passed away and he always said "It's Good To Be Here". This sermon is a look into the reasons why it's good for us to go to church. Matthew 17:1-8

    In Matthew 17:4, Peter speaks to the Lord during the transfiguration and says these words, "...Lord, it is good for us to be here:...". Why was it good for them to be there? I want to take a few reasons why I believe it was good for them to be there and apply them to reasons why it is good for us ...read more

    The call to consecration is not merely a religious act but a transformational process where we yield ourselves completely to God. Let us explore this theme through Scripture, exegesis, and the insights of renowned Christian authors and preachers.

    Consecrated for Divine Purpose Romans 12:1-2 Introduction: Today, we embark on a journey of understanding and renewal as we delve into the concept of consecration—a season of setting ourselves apart for God's divine purpose. The call to consecration is not merely a religious act but a ...read more

    Does the Bible prohibit women from being pastors and teachers in the church? Does the Bible say that women can only teach other women and children? Let's try to figure it out.

    If you would, please stand as we say together our memory Scripture for this quarter: Matthew 6:31-33 “Do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. “But ...read more

    To establish that this conversion also follows the New Testament’s “pattern of conversions” as outlined in the Book of Acts. This lesson will establish that these uncircumcised Gentiles were added to the church in the same manner as all other believers.

    Why is it so hard for pastors to preach about giving? Why is it so hard for church members to hear about giving? Here are 3 reasons why preachers should NOT apologize for a sermon on giving - from a layperson!

    What is On Your Mind? One of the most intriguing challenges for anyone who steps behind one of these (pulpits) is trying to figure out what¡¦s going on in your minds.

    There are many Sheep out there today who have wandered away from the Fold. You and I as Preachers of the Gospel should cry loud and spare not the good news of safety, security, and the Shepherd who cares for us.

    Sheep have a Shepherd. Sheep have a Leader. Sheep need good grass and still waters to feed on. The Lord Jesus is and all they need to survive. The Prophet Isaiah said in chapter 53: ALL we LIKE SHEEP have gone astray. Peter said for ye were AS SHEEP going astry but are now returned unto the ...read more

     | 9,881 views

    Much of the world today believes that Christianity is a big rip off—and it can be if what we preach is unbalanced or partial to the whims of the preacher. GIVING IS NOT A LAW--WE SHOULD GIVE BECAUSE WE LOVE GOD!
