    The Servant Leader

    Contributed by Ian Johnson on Dec 9, 2006
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,336 views

    In the Discipline of service there is also great liberty. Service allows us to say ’no!’ to the world’s games of promotion and authority. It abolishes our need and desire for a ’pecking order’

    In 2006 success is measured by the size of our great wealth, the popularity of our ministry, the size of our Church, In this we seem to miss the mark of being a true servant leader in the kingdom of God.. Our example in all things is the Lord Jesus himself The servant is not greater than his ...read more

    Like father, like son. Yes it is true; however, we know that God supplies grace to break generational curses. Jesus desires us to be God’s children.

    Who’s Your Daddy? Three of every 10 births in the U. S. were to unwed mothers, according to a new report to Congress commissioned by the Department of Health and Human Services. Out-of-wedlock childbearing is on the rise for adults as well as teenagers, and for women of all races. One social ...read more

    It is God’s desire to be with man, not separated from him. From Genesis to Revelation, He sought to be with man. This is His most frequent promise in the Bible. Are you willing to be with Him?

    Matt 1:22-23 Immanuel – God With Us 28 Dec 2008 1796 There are many names given to Jesus in the Bible. • Each one gives us a clearer & fuller picture of who He is and what He means to us. • His name JESUS means “God saves!” He is God’s salvation for us. • He is the Messiah, the Christ, meaning ...read more

    The Way we were is about how church was meant to be according to God’s Desire in Acts, you can also listen to this message at www.preaching.co.nr

    “This is How Church Should Be,” is often influenced by denominational traditions, personal preference and sometimes cultural and generational demands.

    Abiding In Perfect Love

    Contributed by Glenn Bleakney on Jun 14, 2008
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,667 views

    It is the desire of the heavenly Father for His people always to experience the full inheritance of His covenant love and mercy. The Apostle John calls such a place of attainment in God “perfect love”.

    It is truly amazing to think of the mercy and forbearance that God bestows upon sinners. Undoubtedly, the Lord has the power to cut off our very existence. The Scripture affirms, “Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled; thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust” (Psalm ...read more

    If Christ is the head of the church, no bullying can ever be justified to bring about the result a leader desires. We must permit the Spirit of God to rule the church, and not mere mortals.

    “I have written something to the church, but Diotrephes, who likes to put himself first, does not acknowledge our authority. So if I come, I will bring up what he is doing, talking wicked nonsense against us. And not content with that, he refuses to welcome the brothers, and also stops those who ...read more

    based on 8 ratings
     | 5,736 views

    It is easy to be faithful with little hoping to "graduate" to the big but God’s desire is that we would be faithful with little for the sake of the little, trusting and growing closer to Him with correct motives.

    Faithful with little Lk.16:10 - Faithful with little. 
 Ministry relevance - 1 Cor. 4:2 (minister must be found faithful) and 1 Tim.1:12 (We’ve been found faithful so He has put us in ministry), Pr.11:3 (Erin will read).

    Elisha Seeks The Blessing

    based on 31 ratings
     | 12,854 views

    For Elisha to have the ’double-portion’ he desired there was a clear path to follow. There was a preparation to be made, a pryaer to be offered, a promise to be claimed, and the possession of the answer. What a challenge for us today!

    ELISHA SEEKS THE BLESSING THE PATH TO THE DOUBLE-PORTION II Kings 2:1-15 Elisha had travelled with Elijah for a relatively short time, and had seen how the Lord had miraculously worked through Elijah. This must have inspired him to want the same anointing himself, but before Elisha could ...read more
