     | 6,754 views

    In this concluding article of this title series, I want to focus on the ministries that are prohibited and the ministries that women can and should pursue.

Jesus did what Rabbis do, they make disciples. 2. To be a disciple, one must follow the precepts and instructions of the ...read more

    What is our attitude toward growth? Are we ready and willing to accept what God has in store for this congregation? What about our attitude toward those on “the fringe?” Are we willing to accept them into the fold when God calls?

    What’s the fuss about? If it’s just a novel that Hollywood turned into a movie, nobody’s going to Hell over it -- are they? ARE THEY?

    Most of the time on Sunday mornings I “teach” through a sermon. Today I will preach this sermon. Teaching is an indirect way to your heart through your head. When the logic and information go through the filter of the brain, God’s Spirit molds it, shapes it into an inspirational reality and ...read more
