The Work In Athens Series

Contributed by John Lowe on May 2, 2017

Paul works among Gentiles for eighteen months in Corinth and for nearly three years in Ephesus, but no example of his preaching is given. The reason is that it has already been given—in Athens, in the very center of Gentile culture and intellect.

John Eats The Little Book

Contributed by Timothy Shumer on Jun 10, 2001

We see in John’s actions indications for what God desires His church to know and do: [1] feast on His Word; [2] understand the two-fold effect of God’s Word (bitter-sweet); [3] take the responsibility to pray & study & preach His Word.

You Hold The Key

Contributed by Curtis Kittrell on Aug 30, 2001

One can see from these examples of binding and loosing that it means more than declaring something lawful or unlawful by preaching. It also means to confirm the truth by power as Christ and the apostles did.

You Hold the Key "I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." -- (Matthew 16:19) Matthew 16:19 a [thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven] Not to ...read more

Hope For The Hopeless

Contributed by W Pittendreigh on Jan 29, 2003

Jesus said he would make us fishers of men, yet we are like Jonah who was called to preach to the people of Ninevah -- we run away as fast as we can!

Learning To See Good In Difficulties

Contributed by Paul Fritz on May 14, 2003

Even though many disciples relished the privilege to preach in the name of Jesus, persecution caused many to quit. They thrived on the sense of power as they spoke with the enabling of the Holy Spirit, but disliked the opposition they encountered.
