Ministry

Let’s look at some real examples of effective preaching. Our text will be from Acts 2 where Peter preached on the day of Pentecost, and from Acts 3 where the lame man was healed while they were on their way to the temple. Continue reading →

You must have an experience with the Cross. When the lame man was healed and everyone began to look to Peter and John as if they were someone great, Peter was quick to turn their attention away from them and direct it all to Jesus. Continue reading →

Be informative. Peter said, "let this be know to you" (Acts 2:14). We always want to give people fresh insight and new understanding. This, like the first point we brought out, is going to take diligent study. Continue reading →

Some of us are clean freaks. Others are messies. Either way, at some point in our life we need to determine if it’s time to clean up our act. All folks who claim to be a Christian get dirty from time to time. Some just get a little dust on their feet, others accidentally fall into a mud puddle. Some decide that they like the dirt and choose to dive into an ocean of scum. Continue reading →

Many people think you must have years of college before you can start a new ministry or church. It’s not necessary to have formal training before you start a ministry, but most seasoned ministers recommend that you pursue some type of biblical training as soon as possible. Continue reading →

Spiritual battles. Every believer faces spiritual battles on a daily basis (Ephesians 6:12), but much more so the man or women of God.

Financial. There’s the financial prison of “need” that Pastors find themselves in bondage to. This should never happen. The church should properly take care of its pastor. Paul told Timothy that if the elder works hard at preaching and teaching they should be worthy of double honor and the context shows that he was talking about finances (1 Timothy 5:1-18).

Revelation. In Ephesians 3:1-7 Paul speaks of the revelation that was given to him. Any minister worth his salt is chained to the desire for supernatural revelation. They want desperately to hear from God, receive supernatural insight into His Word, and receive vision from the heart of God for their church or ministry. Continue reading →

Listed below are several commentaries and reference works that will help you gain a deeper understanding of God’s word, strengthen your faith, and expand your ability to create a meaningful message. Continue reading →

I was contemplating Christmas and of course the Christmas story came to mind. The verse “There was no room for them in the Inn” (Luke 2:7) particularly struck me. This was the creator of the universe (John 1:3; Colossians 1:16; Hebrews 1:2) and there was no place found for Him but in a barn. Will He find a place in your life this Christmas season?
