    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

     | 5,049 views

    The church has stayed too long in the wilderness of failed leadership. Now is the time to use the stewardship calling to accomplish the role of leading the church into the new dispensation after the crisis of the pandemic has run her course.

    The present pandemic crisis has revealed the inevitable need for good leadership and governance not only in the world, but in the church as well. Daily we are experiencing and witnessing the failure of leadership in many high places. In fact those who are supposed to lead are failing the calling. ...read more

    After Paul's customary, brief introduction, he moved right into the challenges facing Timothy in his ministry in Ephesus. We can distill Paul's advice to Timothy down into four directives.

    Introduction: A. Ministry can be a challenge for ministers and for members – How’s that for an understatement? B. But imagine seeing this “want ad” for a preacher: 1. “Must have experience as a shepherd, CEO, office manager, educator, salesman, diplomat, referee, writer, theologian, politician, ...read more

    Too many believers are waiting for the perfect scenario before they will serve the Lord. It’s an excuse that is often used for idleness and spiritual inactivity - the excuse that it’s not an ideal time or situation in which to serve.

    There is no ideal place to serve God except the place where He has set you down. - Eric Alexander(1) The Lord wants us to bloom where we’re planted, and to serve Him faithfully right where we are. He doesn’t want us to sit around waiting for the “perfect situation” before we serve Him. If we ...read more

    Jesus' mercy is only for those who say, “Have mercy.”

    Introduction “No mercy” is a popular slogan seen on bumper stickers and t-shirts. Sports fans like to display it. No mercy for the other team!

    The Transfiguration dramatatically demonstrated that Jesus is more than a simple Rabbi. To the disciples still struggling to figure out who He is, it a powerful revelation of Jesus' divinity.
