    Jesus was a babe, then a child and a teenager before He began His ministry. This was known as the silent years, as very little is spoken in the Bible. What can we learn about His Youth? Listen!

    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,018 views

    I would like for you to think with on the subject, “Even the dogs qualify.” Think of a dog as the lease likely person, in the worst position, at the most inappropriate time, who discovers the power of faith. Faith in God is a qualifier that cannot be ignored.

    Subject: Even the Dogs Qualify Matthew 15:21-29 Introduction: The Scriptures refer to four seasons during Jesus’ earthly ministry where He sought solitude and rest. No matter how gifted or anointed we are, we all need rest. We all need places to be refreshed. The unusual story of our lesson occurs ...read more

We see ministry through the lens of past experiences, good and bad. Hopefully we see ministry through the teachings of Scripture. My aim is to offer some advice ...read more

And my hypothesis is that what you probably believe about spiritual gifts is wrong. Wrong in a way that’s diminishing your joy in ...read more
