    25 The Book Of Galatians – Chapter 6:6 - Message 25 – Should Any Or All Pastors Be Paid? A Look At Payment Of People In Christian Ministry And Sharing Good Things Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Apr 4, 2025
     | 294 views

    We examine the tricky problem of church finances and what is paid to pastors and church workers. Who are those who genuinely do the work of the Lord? I quote from an excellent sermon on gospel support as well.

    25 THE BOOK OF GALATIANS – CHAPTER 6:6 - Message 25 – SHOULD ANY OR ALL PASTORS BE PAID? A LOOK AT PAYMENT OF PEOPLE IN CHRISTIAN MINISTRY AND SHARING GOOD THINGS [A]. INTRODUCTION: The last chapter of Galatians is very practical as we have seen already. Before we move to verse 6, I want to ...read more

    Si determinas en tu Corazón moverte hacia alenté y escuchar la vos de Dios nada te detendrá. Pero si decides estar cómodo y no moverte es como darte por vencido. Decídete moverte hacia delante no importe el precio.

    Hecha para alante, para atrás ni para coger impulso! *Éxodo 14:10-14:28 Y al acercarse Faraón, los hijos de Israel alzaron los ojos, y he aquí los egipcios marchaban tras ellos; entonces los hijos de Israel tuvieron mucho miedo y clamaron al SEÑOR.

    The first son who "refused" to work, eventually did. The second son who "agreed" to work, later decided not to. Those expected to do great things for God can sometimes fail; whereas, those least expected can be used in a mighty way.

    Have you ever felt God asking you to do some type of ministry that you believed was beyond your capabilities, and then you became reluctant? Did you say to yourself, “I’m never going to do that?” This is the way many people respond to the Lord’s call on their life. I’ve heard it said you should ...read more

    The Unhindered Gospel In The Hindered Church Series

    I wrote this sermon to preach in a church where the pastor had just died on Wednesday night before. God wanted to demonstrate how His timing and His power is more important than the humans in charge.

    The Unhindered Gospel in the Hindered Church A 20th century philosopher, Gamaliel Bradford, once said that “Life is hope triumphing over experience.” In those words, he summed up 20th century optimism. He implied that humanity would learn from its experience and improve. His hope was in the ...read more

    I would like to thank Pastor Jerry Shirley for sharing this series on Acts. It has been a blessing as well as a great help. I have used these for our church, as I spend my days caring for my dying father.

    Acts series # 15 My Faith is saying Go but my fear is shouting NO!! Acts 4:1-12: We have been looking at the early church and trying to understand what Elim Bible should look like.

    You must decide if that is all the closer you want to get to God. You see growing spiritually is not the same as growing physically. Physically you are going to grow whether you want to or not. Spiritually, it’s a choice. It’s something that we are to

    There are three questions each Christian should ask themselves when it comes to deciding just how far to go in serving the Lord. They are not easy questions, but your answers will reveal much about yourself. In 2 Corinthians 6, Paul gives us a clear choic

    Answer this question for yourself: “I feel good about my life when …” In a way, the Apostle Paul could be asking the Corinthians to consider this question when they judge him. If you answer the question: “I feel best when external circumstances are not difficult and when ...read more

    Judas had a talent for handling money and he thought that with his gift, he would surely be in the new government which Jesus would establish once He threw out the Romans. When it dawned upon him he was wrong, He decided to run.

    The 11 disciples had already gone to Galilee as Jesus had commanded (see Matthew 28:10). Some of the disciples decided to follow Simon Peter and once again begin fishing. But they saw Jesus another time and that changed everything, at least for one disciple!

    Based on a sermon preached at First Baptist Church of Glasgow, MO on July 27, 2014. This is not an exact transcription. Background: The 11 disciples had already gone to Galilee as Jesus had commanded (see Matthew 28:10). Nothing seems to have happened in the meantime so some of the disciples ...read more

    Mind Your Own Business!

    If we decide to get involved in another person's business, chances are we will be told to mind our own business. In some cases we should do that but there are other situations when it's appropriate to not mind our own business.

    "MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!" A few weeks ago, I did a sermon on opinions. My first point was about people who are opinionated. I talked about those who interject themselves into conversations they weren't invited in to offer their unsolicited opinion. When we do things like that, people ...read more

    Plot To Kill Lazarus Series

    The chief priests decided to kill Jesus and Lazarus, who had become important evidence of Jesus’ miracles. One would think that he had committed high treason! It was nothing over which he had control, and yet they considered him worthy of death.

    Bethany Plot to Kill Lazarus John 12:9-11 9 Now a great many of the Jews knew that He was there; and they came, not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might also see Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead. 10 But the chief priests plotted to put Lazarus to death also, 11 because on account ...read more

    First, we see a faithful woman who honors God and is rewarded; and we also see a carnal man who has decided to take control, and has serious challenges. Curious that these are mother and son … yet so very different in how they respond to God.

    We need to get rid of the ill-fitting fashion, or armor, that we’ve tried to squeeze into that’s strangling the life out of us. We need to be who we are in Christ, and utilize our own special equipping. This is what David decided was best.

    Have you ever felt as though you don’t quite know where God wants to use you, and you often feel awkward where you’re presently serving? Perhaps it’s because you’ve been pushed into an area of service that doesn’t suit how the Lord has made you and equipped you, and who you really are inside. ...read more
