    The reward of knowing the mind of God, the reward of living in the will of God, is freedom. Fear of people keeps us imprisoned; fear of God sets us free.

    At the Alpha conference I went to a few weeks ago I had a very interesting conversation with a colleague on the more liberal end of our denominational spectrum. It was particularly interesting in that the Alpha program is for evangelism, and I was surprised to see someone on the other end ...read more

    Ministry work should be done by every Christian not just for pastors and church leaders. In this message, we will learn from the life of Deborah three things that can help us as we minister to God, to the Christians and to the unbelievers.

    Many of us think of ministry as the work done by pastors, by missionaries, by Christian Conference speakers or evangelists. We rarely think that work done by bankers, by lawyers, by engineers or homemakers can also be considered as ministry. We have a wrong notion that only those who get their ...read more
