    Striking The Shepherd

    The devil worked through believers to see Jesus betrayed and crucified. He is working today to discredit God's shepherds. When conflict arises, people all too often deny their leader; and this is the point at which he is led away to be crucified!

    In Job 2:7, we read, “So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD, and struck Job with painful boils from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head.” I think most of us realize that Satan can attack people physically by robbing them of their health; however, the surprising revelation is ...read more

    What's A Preacher To Do? Series

    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

    Reasons why the Bible is the Word of God

    A new minister was asked to teach a boys' Sunday School class when the regular teacher was absent.

    The 11 disciples had already gone to Galilee as Jesus had commanded (see Matthew 28:10). Some of the disciples decided to follow Simon Peter and once again begin fishing. But they saw Jesus another time and that changed everything, at least for one disciple!

    Based on a sermon preached at First Baptist Church of Glasgow, MO on July 27, 2014. This is not an exact transcription. Background: The 11 disciples had already gone to Galilee as Jesus had commanded (see Matthew 28:10). Nothing seems to have happened in the meantime so some of the disciples ...read more

    based on 9 ratings
     | 5,321 views

    Why doesn’t God answer? Why is there so much evil in the world? Why do the wicked get away with so much? These questions aren’t new. The Old Testament prophet Habakkuk poses these same questions to the Lord.

    Does God Really Care? Habakkuk – Part I Habakkuk 1:1-11 Habakkuk 1:1- 4 (NLT) This is the message that the prophet Habakkuk received from the Lord in a vision. [2] How long, O Lord, must I call for help? But you do not listen! "Violence!" I cry, but you do not come to save. [3] Must I ...read more
