    Repairing The Altar Of The Lord

    Contributed by Michael Stark on May 25, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 10,678 views

    When the Faith ebbs, God raises up a rude prophet to challenge the evil that has insinuated itself into the lives of the people of God.

    “Then Elijah said to all the people, ‘Come near to me.’ And all the people came near to him. And he repaired the altar of the LORD that had been thrown down. Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of the LORD came, saying, ‘Israel ...read more

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jun 2, 2013
     | 6,176 views

    God is sovereign! The message explores what this means in the life of the believer.

    “To the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.” [1] The Apostle, writing to his son in the ministry, has just expressed gratitude to God, marvelling that he received appointment to divine service, especially in light of his former life. ...read more

    Women Preachers And The Word Of God Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jul 26, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,675 views

    Women and men are spiritually equal before the Lord; however, women are debarred from occupying the role of elder within the congregation of the Lord.

    “Women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire, but with what is proper for women who profess godliness—with good works. Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness. I do not permit ...read more

    Saved Through Childbearing Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Aug 3, 2013
     | 5,404 views

    Women have a vital role in the life of the saints. Struggling for mastery over men ensures that they cannot fulfil the role God has graciously given.

    “Yet she will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control.” [1] The role of women—in society and especially in churches—is a topic fraught with grave danger. The man who dares speak on the biblical role of women ...read more

    Desiring A Noble Task Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Aug 10, 2013
     | 5,518 views

    Those who seek eldership, provided they are motivated by divine call, desire a noble task.

    “The saying is trustworthy: If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task.” [1] Few things give me greater pleasure than seeing God raise up heralds of holiness. I taught preacher boys in Texas for a brief period. Throughout the years of my service before the ...read more

    Appointing Elders Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Aug 15, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,202 views

    What is entailed in appointing elders? What rights and authority is conferred in the appointment process?

    “When they had appointed elders for them in every church, with prayer and fasting they committed them to the Lord in whom they had believed.” [1] The New Testament model for a church of the Lord Jesus differs significantly from what has been commonly accepted among the churches of our ...read more

    Appointing Elders In Every Town Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Aug 24, 2013
     | 5,913 views

    God's design appears to be a plurality of elders to oversee the labours of a congregation.

    “This is why I left you in Crete, so that you might put what remained into order, and appoint elders in every town as I directed you—if anyone is above reproach, the husband of one wife, and his children are believers and not open to the charge of debauchery or insubordination. For an ...read more

    God’s preparation for service in the hard place is studied.

    “Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by command of God our Savior and of Christ Jesus our hope, “To Timothy, my true child in the faith: “Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.” [1] Biographical studies can be about as exciting as watching paint dry.

    Vital Duties For The Pastor Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Feb 3, 2013
     | 7,801 views

    Among duties with which Pastors are charged is the responsibility to demand that errant teachers be silent.

    “As I urged you when I was going to Macedonia, remain at Ephesus so that you may charge certain persons not to teach any different doctrine, nor to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies, which promote speculations rather than the stewardship from God that is by faith. The aim of our ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,452 views

    Woman was created to ensure that man was complete. In marriage, God seeks our best as man and woman complement one another.

    "The LORD God said, ‘It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.’ Now out of the ground the LORD God had formed every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever the man called ...read more

    The Aim Of Our Charge Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Feb 16, 2013
     | 4,888 views

    The teaching of godly elders is contrasted with that of false teachers.

    “The aim of our charge is love that issues from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.” [1] Paul charged Timothy to remain in Ephesus, indicating that the young man was considering moving from that location. Specifically, the young preacher was charged to remain in ...read more

    Not everyone who claims to be a teacher has received appointment from God.

    “Certain persons, by swerving from these, have wandered away into vain discussion, desiring to be teachers of the law, without understanding either what they are saying or the things about which they make confident assertions.” [1] Ultimately, it is not the one who is the most polished speaker who ...read more

    Exploring the birth of Christ--what it means to us today.

    “When Christ came into the world, he said, ‘Sacrifices and offerings you have not desired, but a body have you prepared for me; in burnt offerings and sin offerings you have taken no pleasure. Then I said, “Behold, I have come to do your will, O God, as it is written of me ...read more

    “‘Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel” (which means, God with us).” Christmas Eve, and the world is at peace. Or is peace only a vague and puerile wish? Conflicts continue unabated throughout the world. Governments are ...read more

    How shall the child of God live until the Master returns? That is the consideration in this message.

    “Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need to have anything written to you. For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. While people are saying, ‘There is peace and security,’ then sudden destruction ...read more
