    Having taught the disciples to pray that the Father would send forth laborers into the harvest, Jesus commissioned them to serve in the harvest, essential using them as an answer to their prayers.

    Commissioned to Serve Matthew 10: 5-8 Today I want to begin a series focused on Jesus sending the twelve out to labor in ministry. Up until this point, Jesus had ministered alone. Granted, the disciples were continually with Him, and crowds were normally around, but these were all observers or ...read more

     | 7,627 views

    Believers are urged to see their lives as dedicated to service to the Saviour rather than merely being lived for their own interests.

    “Share in suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No soldier gets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him.” [1] Suffering well is a ministry in itself! Note that I did not say that suffering is a ministry. Few of us tolerate suffering ...read more

    Zechariah and Elizabeth were a devout couple who did not have any children. We see in today’s text a lack of faith---unbelief. Then, one day the angel Gabriel showed up and told him that God was going answer His prayers and that Elizabeth would give birth to a son who was to be named John.

    THOU SHALT BE DUMB Text: Luke 1:5- 25 Luke 1:5-25 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.

    Is your Christmas preparation festive or frantic? What if you could narrow down preparation for Christmas to one, single thing? What is it? John the Baptist reminded the people of his day and us of the one thing necessary to be ready for Christ's coming!

    Heaven is a place being prepared for us, as well as a place for which we should be preparing.

    If there were ever a subject about which we sing more but preach less, it is the subject of heaven. Today, I will begin a special series of sermons on the subject of heaven that will, hopefully, help correct this. As a result of this lack of teaching and preaching on the subject of heaven, many ...read more
