    Gentile Missionary Series

    Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Nov 9, 2022
     | 1,136 views

    Soul winning becomes a harvest and an offering to be offered to God. The threefold ministry is that the apostle preaches the Gospel, the Holy Spirit convicts and God accepts them as an offering. This is the service of Paul.

    Romans 15:14-33 Paul as Gentile Missionary Call of Paul - Romans 15:14-20. Paul was convinced about the Romans’ Knowledge and competence to instruct one another.

    The is a different look at Advent. It is a short, two sermon series that deals with two main issues: The Power of Resolve, and the Power of Submission. Jesus showed both in His ministry to this world.

    What Are We To Do When The Brook Dries Up?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 27, 2023
     | 1,592 views

    How many Christians have hit a "dry patch" during their ministry or walk with the Lord, and often we could not understand the reasoning why this has happened?

    We could have called the title to this message “When in Drought, Do Not Doubt.” In the previous chapter, we learn that Ahab is now king of Israel. Unfortunately, he was worse than all the other kings before him. Each king prior to Ahab became worse than the one before. Ahab married Jezebel who led ...read more

    Jesus, in His compassion for us mentally and spiritually wounded humans, used His Sacred Body in His ministry, and used material things in His contact with men and women.

    Friday after the Epiphany 2025 Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, was descended from King David, as Matthew’s Gospel tells us, but more fundamentally, He was a real human being, a real man, ultimately the offspring of Adam and Eve.

    Gehazi had to meet Elisha where he lied to Elisha, and God judged him by making him a leper. At that point Gehazi and Elisha separated for good. This sad, but important story has many lessons to teach us about our own deceitful natures.
