    We must learn to become all things to all men, that we might indeed WIN/GAIN some for Christ to SAVE.

    A MODEL OF MINISTRY. 1 Corinthians 9:16-23. The Apostle Paul has argued that, as their minister, he had every right to expect a wage from the church in Corinth (1 Corinthians 9:14).

    The preaching of Enoch is quoted by Jude is not from a non-inspired book of the Jewish Literature, the Book of “1 Enoch”. Enoch had amazing spiritual revelations. The Book of Enoch is apocryphal.

    Jude 1:14-15 - Ministry of Enoch Text: “Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men also, saying, “Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints, to execute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed ...read more

    Every man has some gift; no man has all. So, every man must minister.

    Gifts for Ministry 1 Peter 4:10 As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

    We tend to think of negative things when we think of addictions, but there can also be good addictions. For example, I’m addicted to oxygen. Men, if you’re addicted to your wife, that’s a good thing. Women, it’s great to be addicted to your husband. But what about ministry?

    Did you know that a huge addiction is sweeping across our nation? People are addicted to their smart phones! They have to constantly be checking facebook, Twitter, their email, YouTube, Pinterest, or texting. Listen to these startling statistics: —The National Safety Council reports that cell ...read more

    The Ministry Of Marriage

    Contributed by Rodney Fry on May 29, 2022
     | 2,279 views

    For thousands of years, the concept of marriage as a commitment between one man and woman has served as the foundation of home life and social order; but in the last few years, those foundations are being destroyed in the civil arena. This is disturbing, but not exactly new.

    The Ministry of Marriage Scripture: Romans 16:3–4 Greet Priscilla and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus. They risked their lives for me. Not only I but all the churches of the Gentiles are grateful to them (NIV). Introduction: For thousands of years, the concept of marriage as a ...read more

    Restoring people to the faith is a vital ministry. Everybody stumbles and many become convinced they can't be successful as a Christian. That's why salvation is by grace. Restore someone with the right attitude.

    Acts 6:1-7 teaches us about Satan’s attack of distraction and the church’s priorities for ministry.

    Introduction Christians are not immune from trials and difficulties just because they are Christians. Conversion to Christ does not cause our problems to evaporate and disappear.
