What Is Your Calling? (Part 8) Series

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Mar 10, 2016

Opening Illustration: Narrative of Krupy who used to be our worship leader in the Middle East. As soon as pride and corrupted wisdom entered his heart, God eliminated him from ministry and his calling was stunted. Introduction: The devil was at one time a righteous angel! Therefore, he, too, is a ...read more

Six Marks Of Leadership: Mark 3- Series

Contributed by Tim White on May 9, 2011

Most leaders are like middle-managers with superiors and subordinates and Nehemiah shows us how to both lead and follow.

I heard Adrian Rogers give this example: We all have seen Canada Geese fly in their V formation with one leg of the V formation longer than the other leg. Why do they fly in the V formation? The lead goose is making it easier for the other geese who are following his lead. He is moving the wind ...read more

Using Your "Talents" Series

Contributed by Nickolas Kooi on Nov 22, 2017

Jesus again repeats Himself in Matthew 25, and He tells us another parable to get us ready for the end times. He tells a different story with the same point. Will we get it this time?

You know something is important when someone repeats it a second time. You can also know if something is important when they say the same thing again, but in a different way, so that if you didn’t get it the first time, you might get it the second time. It can be a technique that we can be quite ...read more

Honoring Joseph

Contributed by Davon Huss on Dec 20, 2022

What kind of a man was Joseph? (Material adapted from Leslie Flynn's book, "Christmas Messages", in the chapter called, "The Forgotten Father")

HoHum: There is a forgotten man at Christmas. Poetry, paintings and stories of the nativity treat him minimally, if at all. Few sermons are preached on him. Why is he neglected?
