    Paul is motivated to preach the Gospel, even in the midst of harsh realities. Learn to see your ministry as significant and special, and do not build your worth or significance upon the state of your ministry.

We are placed in Christian families with good Christian environment. • But that wasn’t Paul’s experience. He fought Christianity and was ...read more

    Third in a series in the book of Nehemiah. This message explores the "why" (motivation) of vision, versus the "how" (process of fulfilling) the vision. Emphasizes that the "how" is for God to handle, and the "why" will keep us focused on the vision.

There is a great similarity between success at Jeopardy, and success in seeing the current vision for your life come into focus. To ...read more

    What is our motivation for evangelism? Are we safe in our "cocoon" of personal salvation or do we see the lost people of the world as those who are truly in danger of an eternity without the Lord?
