    There are only three men in Scripture who were under a Nazirite Vow from birth: Samson, Samuel, and John the Baptist. They show us a pattern that is fulfilled in the birth and ministry of Jesus. Though they were in the limelight, they really prepared the

    Behold The Lamb Of God Series

    John the Baptist is a great model of Christian ministry - he's willing to direct people away from himself to Jesus. he wants the glory to go to Jesus not himself and points others to Jesus even at his own cost.

    I like John the Baptist. He’s such a contrast to the dominant model of the celebrity today. I assume you’ve noticed how important the cult of the celebrity is today. When celebrities speak it’s all about them. It’s just assumed that everyone is interested in what ...read more

    Today, the power gifts remain available as a part of God’s plan for His church, and are increasingly being manifested within the ’Body of Christ’ around the world. They are given to the body of Christ as valuable helps to accomplish works of ministry.

    Opening illustration: Reflect on my first experience at Nizwa of how hesitantly I discovered and used the charismatic gifts of the Holy Spirit in faith. It just blew me away. The secret was praying without ceasing, fasting, practicing holiness and being sensitive to heed and obey the Holy ...read more

    Offense is one of the most devistating lures Satan uses to keep Christians from being effective in ministry. In this sermon I am going to review the Bait of Satan by John Bevere and suggest that it is possible to avoid and overcome offense.

    What’s the deeper message here for us today? It’s the gospel hidden in plain sight. I’ve noticed in the events of Jesus ministry we find the gospel again and again hidden in symbolic images.

    When the volunteer workload is placed on just a handful of people, these individuals get burnt out; and since they can’t do everything, then a lot of needs go unmet. It is biblical to appoint deacons and train ministry volunteers to assist.
