    Often people feel like they are disqualified from ministry because they have some weakness or trouble. The very opposite may be true; their weakness may especially qualify them to be used as God best vessel. Our weakness becomes His strength.

    Restoring people to the faith is a vital ministry. Everybody stumbles and many become convinced they can't be successful as a Christian. That's why salvation is by grace. Restore someone with the right attitude.

    Acts 6:1-7 teaches us about Satan’s attack of distraction and the church’s priorities for ministry.

    Introduction Christians are not immune from trials and difficulties just because they are Christians. Conversion to Christ does not cause our problems to evaporate and disappear.

     | 229 views

    Ministry is not a sprint; it is a lifelong race that demands tenacity, focus, and resilience. Many start well in ministry, but only those who endure to the end will be crowned. Determination is the fuel that keeps a minister moving forward despite trials, discouragement, or opposition.
