    Contributed by Jeff Van Wyk on Aug 3, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 10,284 views

    Churches in business Luke 19:13 - So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, “Do business till I come.” God always intended for the priesthood to reinvest a portion of the tithe, with the expectation of a return. It was part of His plan to show ...read more

    We are in the business of winning followers to their Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. It is not only Ministers who are called to evangelism, but all Christians. Having received the good news ourselves, our hearts yearn to share it with others.

    PREACH, HEAR, FOLLOW. John 1:35-42. “The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus” (John 1:37). John the Baptist was sent beforehand to ‘prepare the way for the Lord’ (Isaiah 40:3; Matthew 3:3). Thus, John’s ministry always pointed away from himself to the One who was to come: ...read more

    The blind man sees through the eyes of the one leading him. But the one who is not blind sees through His own eyes. Therefore the blind man leans on the understanding of he who leads him but the one who sees leans on his own understanding.
