    Imprisoned and facing death, the aged warrior for Christ, the apostle Paul, presents his final instructions and counsel to the young pastor from Ephesus, his "son in the faith", Timothy.

    This second letter to Timothy is considered to be the last writing of the apostle Paul, composed around 67 A.D., from the confinement of Rome's infamous Mamertine Prison. He had been placed under arrest for the preaching of the Gospel and no doubt accused of insurrection for preaching that ...read more

     | 3,969 views

    John the Baptist's message of repentance is just as controversial today as it was in in his day. It was a message that caused people to think and evaluate what they were doing and why. It does the same today? Ready for some controversy?

    Throughout history there have been many controversial characters: kings and queens, presidents and politicians, artists, actors and song writers, scientists and CEOs. What is it that made them so controversial? By what they did or said, they made people uncomfortable, forcing people to have to ...read more

    Sometimes we need to stop and reevaluate our thoughts on spiritual things. Many times, I get the wrong idea of what God is trying to do in my life.

    Sometimes we need to stop and reevaluate our thoughts on spiritual things. Many times, I get the wrong idea of what God is trying to do in my life. Sometimes we listen to others and let them tell us what God is trying to do and they know less about it than we do. We should always trust God and know ...read more

    Contributed by James Jackson on Sep 3, 2023
     | 2,875 views

    Ezekiel 22:30 has been the theme verse for lots of men's ministries. It is definitely compelling to think we might be the man God is looking for to stand in the gap. But the truth is, we are missing the point.

    Who Stands in the Breach? Ezekiel 22: 23-31, 2 Kings 25:1-4 Good morning! Please turn in your Bibles to Ezekiel 22:23. Page 664 in the pew Bibles.

    If God puts unexpected obstacles in your path to ministry, how should you handle it?

    When I graduated from seminary, I had no idea when or where I would be called into ministry. Many of my classmates were luckier. They knew where they were going. They had received a call. I, on the other hand, would not even be eligible to receive a call for at least one year, perhaps two or more. ...read more

    William Booth said: "The greatness of a man's power is the measure of his surrender." That statement is what you call a paradox. How can power flow from surrender? Keep that statement in the back of your mind as I share my story.
