    When the five-fold ministry is not operating properly, the church is handicapped. The Apostle provides government, order, stability and guidance. He is the tracklayer.

There are many reasons for this but I believe the most significant is “unreasonable expectations”. In most churches, the pastor is expected to function in every role- prophet, priest & ...read more

    The Christian’s speech should be a reflection of the Holy Spirit’s working, bringing value to those around us.

    WORTHWHILE CONVERSATION When I was in my twenties, I couldn’t hold on to money. If I had a dollar, I’d spend it. If I saw something I wanted, I bought it without much consideration as to whether it was a good deal or not. I’m not totally sure whether it was a function of getting older or marrying ...read more

    Anger is a God-given emotion. And all anger is not sin. But we need to control our anger so as not to destroy us from being the people God want us to be.

    We are following the theme: Hanging in There. Tonight I want us to look at the subject, “Hanging in There Through Anger.” Thomas Jefferson once wrote some rules for living. “When angry count to ten before you speak, if very angry, count to a hundred.” Seventy-five years later, Mark Twain, the ...read more
