    A Starting Place For Successful Ministry

    The Apostle Paul who had invested so much in the life of young Timothy, helps him prepare for a new beginning by offering him a starting place for success. I believe this is also a starting place for successful ministers as we prepare others to make it on their own.

    Sermon: A Starting Place for Successful Ministry Scripture: 1 Timothy 2:1-6 1Ti 2:1 ¶ I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and ...read more

    Are You Ready For Persecution?

    Contributed by David Mcnally on Aug 12, 2012
     | 5,509 views

    Christians were persecuted by the Jews, then by the Romans, and by the Nazis and the Communists, and by fundamentalist Muslims and others today. Why should we in the West or US, Canada, Autsralia or New Zealand be excused from suffering for our faith?

    Gospel reading: Luke 21: 5-19 Sermon: Persecution May the words of my mouth ....... In the Gospels Jesus is recorded as saying some lovely things, that we are loved, that we are forgiven, that we are his friends, but in today's Gospel reading, his words are far from lovely.

    Through the action of faith Moses mom prepared the future deliverer of Israel for his task. By faith she protected him; surrendered him; and trained him. Mother’s Day.

    Today is Mother’s Day and I wanted to begin our service with a few significant questions to test your knowledge about Mothers. First, how many people here have had a mother?

    Situations and circumstances of life do not define character of destiny. Similar to the life of Joseph, Christians face negative moments to prepare them for the glorious future God has in store for them.

    “As far as I am concerned, God turned into good what you meant for evil. He brought me to the high position I have today so I could save the lives of many people.” – Genesis 50:20 New Living Translation My brothers and my sisters, there has been one question that theologians ...read more

    In the last 50+ years there has been a constant and constant decline of for God and His Son in the world. It was 1962 that the Supreme Court ruled that prayer was taken out of our schools.

    The world in which we live in is rapidly becoming a Godless mess. I must note that it is going to take Gods direct intervention in the affairs of men, not only in our country but in the world. 1st Remember Where We Were- Eph 2:12 that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the ...read more

    We’re not told the name of this angel. Evidently the Holy Spirit didn’t think it necessary, but be that as it may, this angel was sent from heaven with the authority and power to cast Satan into the pit and placed this chain on him to keep him there f

    Many have been sold a bad bill of goods about God's peace. It is not about the absence of problems. It is about the presence of God's power to make us calm when all hell breaks loose.

    Read Ephesians 6:14-20 Read Matthew 21:44 How many of you ever go somewhere and purposefully try to buy broken things? If you are like most people if there are scratches, broken packages or missing parts or items we don’t want it. Most of us don’t set out to find the most broken down ...read more

    The Christian faith holds the answers to questions people have about life's meaning. If we hold this to be the truth, then the burden is on us to understand our faith, have meaningful conversations with those who do not, and defend our faith with those who have questions.

    It’s a strange thing: the book has never been so accessible. According to Guinness Book of Records, L.

    There are people like those in Malachi’s audience in every generation. They don’t make preparation a priority. These were covenant people who were side-stepping their covenant.
