    Transition And Testimony (Matthew 11:1-30)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 14, 2025
     | 383 views

    Our commentary on Matthew continues with Jesus' testimony about the ministry of John the Baptist and the promise of judgment upon the unbelieving cities who witnessed HIs work yet did not repent.

    Matthew 11 begins with what is referred to as a "transitional" passage (v.1). While the disciples were going around the countryside doing the work that Jesus had commissioned, He continued to preach in the cities in Galilee. Verses 2-3 describe how John the Baptist had been thrown into ...read more

    Commissioning Service: This message explores a significant ministry, as it looks at the "missionary call." To be discussed is the role played by God, and also the commitment required of the home church in the missionary’s support.

    During the Battle of Britain in the summer of 1940, Winston Churchill said of the brave men of the Royal Air Force, “Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.” A similar statement could be made concerning the missionaries from our churches.

    Just as Paul brings a perspective as God’s instrument in both his occupation and ministry, similarly we have a calling to live out our purpose for the people we are responsible for.

    Perspectives of a Tentmaker 1 Timothy 6:1-10 What kind of bosses do you work for? What type of a boss do your employees think about you? As for me, I had many.

    God's anointing empowers us to transcend our natural abilities and perform supernatural feats. To advance in life and ministry, we need a continuous flow of fresh anointing from the Holy Spirit.

    According to the Bible, every believer who is born again and filled with the Holy Spirit has the anointing of God in their life. However, it is our responsibility to cultivate and increase this anointing. Some individuals walk in a greater level of anointing than others, and this is determined by ...read more

    We all need friends who show up when life gets messy, friends who don’t just offer kind words but walk alongside us in our struggles. These “friends of intentionality” reflect the heart of Christ, offering love, presence, and action in the moments we need it most.

    Friends of Intentionality: When my family went through a rough patch in ministry, the way people treated us stood out. Most were kind and encouraging, some were hurtful and dismissive, but then there were a few, a precious few, who were what I call "friends of intentionality". These ...read more

     | 26,629 views

    Christians have all kinds of opinions about what preachers should do in their congregations. But what does God want those who enter the pulpit ministry to focus on? What is the "main thing" that these men should devote themselves to?

    There’s an old saying: “The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.” We’ll come back to that in a moment. Back in the 1990’s the Indianapolis Pacers Basketball Team had been struggling for more than a decade to be a contender in the NBA. With the exception of a couple of years, ...read more

    Spiritual struggles like Nathan’s are common. Therefore, before we talk to people about being in right relationship with God, we may need to address their core beliefs about His existence and offer reassurance about the reasonableness of belief. Indeed,

    After his grandmother’s funeral, 15 year-old Nathan really started thinking about God. Because his grandmother had been a faithful Christian, the minister spoke about her eternal rewards. But talk of heaven and the afterlife caused Nathan to wonder, “How do we really know there’s a God and an ...read more
