The Submission Of The Servant Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 15, 2017

Jesus came as the promised Messiah. His baptism signaled the beginning of His public ministry, which was followed by His triumph over temptation in the wilderness. We have victory through Him. He submitted to God's will to purchase our redemption.

Up until this point, even in the other Gospels, we have very little detail about the life of Jesus. From this moment on, Jesus will live His life in public scrutiny. ...read more

As the Lord ordained and created the church, He placed individuals with varied gifts in the church as it pleased Him. Such diversity of gifts is essential for the church to function and prosper. We must embrace such diversity and celebrate these gifts.

Is God Calling You?

Contributed by Ezekiel Ette on Jan 14, 2018

We all were called to serve God through the works of our hands and our intellect. No matter what we do, we are responding to our calling. God still calls each of us but we do not know how to receive God's message because we do not recognize the call.

The idea of calling or vocation outside of the priesthood is a protestant idea that came with the reformation. It was believed then, as at now, that we are called to different vocations in life and whatever we do is a result of our obedience to a divine plan. Therefore the carpenter was in service ...read more
