    Many Christians struggle with the idea that they aren’t talented, or aren’t capable of serving the Lord through ministry. Here I try to show that every does have a place and a way to serve in the kingdom of God.

    A Ministry for All Sunday June 10, 2007 AM Rudy Meoli was an average baseball player at best.

    Because God called us, we have an opportunity. “A man . . . called his own servants” (v. 4). “Faithful is He who calls you” (I Thess. 5:24).

    “For [the kingdom of heaven is] like a man traveling to a far country, [who] called his own servants and delivered his goods to them. And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey. Then he who had ...read more

    Gleaned from John Ortberg’s Book - "If you want to walk on the water, you have to get out of the boat". This teaches us that we must understand exactly "who" the Lord is.

The obvious truth was that He and His wife were at odds with each other and were in the mode of ...read more
