    We are all called to be missionaries in one way or another. We preach Christ to help others come to Christ.

    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.

    In my previous article on this topic, I focused on how Christianity elevated the status and opportunities of women. I wrote about how Christian women, in the New Testament, have had (and, thus, still have) opportunities to labor for the Lord’s Church. However, I did mention in passing that ...read more

     | 1,532 views

    This sermon was a four-part podcast at GodNAmerica.com which asked: Are we fully committed to Jesus or just dabbling in Christianity?

    Intro – Part 1 1. Jesus came into the world to “seek and save the lost” (Luke 19:10). In doing so, he changed people from being the disciples of Satan to become His disciples. Jesus did what Rabbis do, they make disciples. 2. To be a disciple, one must follow the precepts and instructions of the ...read more

    Why did Anna succeed under adverse circumstances and become a prominent figure in the Christmas story?

    “Anna” A study of Anna, the prophetess, as recorded in Luke 2:36-38, is a wonderful way to start the New Year. Although she is part of the Christmas story, the truths she lived out are an inspiration and model for us to follow as we consider the New Year and all the opportunities it holds. I ...read more

    The Ethiopian Eunuch didn’t understand the Bible until someone explained it to him. The whole Bible points to Jesus’ life death and resurrection.

    In a few minutes we’ll say the creed, as we do most weeks, and we’ll repeat these words almost without thinking: "For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again - in accordance with the Scriptures." I wonder whether we ever stop ...read more

    Nehemiah’s strong faith in God prompts him to take the steps needed to make the Jerusalem re-building project a reality. This sermon explores the significance of faith when facing a difficult mission.

    How strong is your faith? Is it firm enough to resist hardship? Is it robust enough to overcome fear? Will it stand up to the tests of doubt? Last week, we saw that Nehemiah was a man of great faith: the cupbearer to Artaxerxes, the King of Persia, he was devastated by the news that Jerusalem ...read more
