    Men & Women: Different But Equal Series

    Contributed by Timothy Peck on Oct 29, 2001
    based on 88 ratings
     | 17,540 views

    Two ways men and women are different in the church, and one way they are equal.

    [Note:  This sermon was introduced by a drama called "God’s Plan?"].   Men and women really are different. So different one author says that it’s almost like men are from Mars and women are from Venus. The feminist movement in America has accomplished a lot of things--many of them good things--but ...read more

    Waiting On Monday

    based on 14 ratings
     | 3,868 views

    Consider the reasons why a person prioritizes weekly activities more than the Lord’s day.

    Have you ever been guilty of anticipating Monday more than enjoying worship and service to God on Sunday? What causes a person to anticipate Monday to the exclusion of the Lord’s day? In the book of Amos we find this subject addressed. The Israelite people said "When will the New Moon be past, that ...read more

    The Ancient Office Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,553 views

    The one office we see early in the book of Genesis that continues through eternity in the Book of Revelation is the office of elder! This office is so important that every Christian should understand and support it.

    The Ancient Office (I Peter 5:1-4) 1. A pastor thought God gave Him an idea, and he presented it in the monthly elders meeting. After giving his most impassioned plea and really “selling” the idea to the elder board, the board voted and voted down the pastors proposed changes 12-1. The head elder ...read more

    The Responsibility Of Elders In The Church

    Contributed by Steve Hereford on Aug 25, 2006
    based on 11 ratings
     | 4,524 views

    In the Scriptures, Pastors are referred to as "bishop, elder, and overseer." Why are they referred to in this way. In this message, Pastor Steve will examine these and more terms as he talks about the responsibility of elders in the church.

    We have completed our look at what elders are to be and now we’re looking at what elders are to do. In doing that, I would like to define the term that is found in 1 Timothy 3:1. It is the term translated "bishop." The term "bishop" is not a good translation because "it carries modern ...read more

    The Office Of The Prophet

    Contributed by Ed Warfield on Feb 29, 2008
     | 5,503 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

    When the five-fold ministry is not operating properly, the church is handicapped. What we call an evangelist today is really a "Revivalist" Let’s look at a biblical Evangelist.

    God has set teachers in the body of Christ to purge spiritual ignorance and to ground believers in the Word. Intellectuals often make simple truths difficult to understand. Teachers make even difficult or complex issues understandable.

    The Office of the Teacher Intro.: Educators tell us that a 3rd grade reading level is the benchmark educational level for success in our society. This means that anyone with a 3rd grade education can function adequately in life. They should be able to deal with the bank, the IRS, the government, ...read more
