    based on 134 ratings
     | 9,829 views

    Using the story of Elisha’s literal call to ministry as an allegory, we can draw several truths from this passage concerning whom God chooses to call into a work for Him.

    WHO IS CALLED TO SERVICE IN THE KINGDOM © 2002 Mark Beaird Text: 1 Kings 19:19-21 Many say that they want to be greatly used or at least used in some way in the Kingdom of God, and yet, the lack of action in their lives betrays their words. However, the truth is that if we do not want to be ...read more

     | 5,542 views

    How is the soil of your heart? Are you ready to receive what God has to say? Learn what true repentance means and doesn’t mean in the ministry of John the Baptist.

    Let me say first of all that I am not the gardener in our family - that’s my wife. I am the assistant gardener. But I have learned a thing or two over the years. One is that without adequate soil preparation your garden will not grow plants, it will simply grow seedlings that will be eaten by ...read more

     | 5,293 views

    Before Jesus ascends, the disciples get a crash course on what is needed to carry on the ministry of Jesus to which they have been called--and they just thought they were going fishing.

    John 21:1-19 “Lessons on Obedience and Forgiveness” INTRODUCTION The school year is drawing to a close. Both students and teachers are talking about the end of school and are looking forward to the summer break. Before the end of school can occur, though, students must take the dreaded final ...read more

    The Office Of The Prophet

    Contributed by Ed Warfield on Feb 29, 2008
     | 5,648 views

    The five-fold ministry is important to the Church fulfilling her end-time destiny. The prophet serves to declare that Jesus is the source of all gifts, including the miracle of new life itself.

    The Office of the Prophet Intro.: Every month hundreds of pastors resign their churches and leave the ministry. There are many reasons for this but I believe the most significant is “unreasonable expectations”. In most churches, the pastor is expected to function in every role- prophet, priest & ...read more

     | 23,826 views

    One little lad with a little lunch became a part of one of the largest miralces in the ministry of Christ. We can learn from him and become a part of God's glorious work.

    From The Desk Of Pastor Toby Powers Truth Baptist Church, Bremen, GA www.trumpetoftruthonline.org A LITTLE LAD, A LITTLE LUNCH, AND A LARGE MIRACLE JOHN 6:1-13 Intro: The passage begins with “After these things...” That seems to be an odd way to begin a story... by saying AFTER.

    based on 3 ratings
     | 12,698 views

    The role of a pastor/teacher is much more than that of a carer. Psalm 23 illustrates to us from the Good Shepherd what is involved in this ministry that is intended to lead others to maturity in Christ.

    3.7.11 PASTORS AND TEACHERS -- Psalm 23 INTRO Have you ever thought of entering the ministry? Maybe you have. Or maybe you haven't and you wonder how a church pastor spends their time during the week. What is involved: There is a well-worn joke that pastor's work only one day a week. It's about ...read more

    Conquer Unbelief

    Contributed by Nate Herbst on Jan 28, 2009
    based on 10 ratings
     | 16,462 views

    Unbelief is one of the greatest hinderances to the Christian life and in some capacity it is the root of nearly every sin - learn how to practically crush every aspect of unbelief in your life and ministry.

    Unbelief Malcolm Mugridge - "Our 20th century, far from being notable for scientific skepticism, is one of the most credulous in all of history. It is not that people believe in nothing, which would be bad enough, but that they believe in anything, which is really terrible.”

     | 12,210 views

    The most amazing thing is that Elijah was the greatest of all the prophets and had the most effective ministry and yet, he reaches a point where the burdens and challenges become too much for him

    The Wilderness Experience I Kings 19:1-5, 11b-12 Today’s Scripture is about Elijah the Prophet. He ministered from 873 BC to 832 BC in response to actions of King Ahab and Queen Jezebel.

    The word "come" is extremely important in the purpose and ministry of Jesus; it is also important in the teaching of salvation. We are taking a few weeks to understand the "coming of the Kingdom of God" in the gospels and Old Testament.

    “The Coming of Christ in John” John 5:43 Did you ever notice how important little words are? Many times we might throw out “big two dollar words” with the intention of impressing people, but the ...read more
