According to Eph 2:10, Titus 2:14, Col 3:23-25, Matt 20:25-28, we are Gods servants, humbly, joyfully, charitably, and zealously serving Jesus Christ. However, it can be frustrating to know you should serve the Lord in our church but not know what ministry opportunities you have to serve. As it turns...

In Ezek 33:1-20, the Lord commissions Ezekiel to be a watchman to the house of Israel. He is to warn them of God’s judgment, in an effort to turn them from wickedness to righteousness. If they turn to righteousness they will live. If they turn to wickedness or remain in...
In Mk 14:3-9, Mary anointed Jesus with ointment of spikenard. Jesus said about her that “She hath done what she could”. This text gives us great instruction on how to do what we can for the Lord. What she did was very valuable, v.3. This ointment was something she had...

In Ecc 1:15, Solomon wrote, “That which is crooked cannot be made straight”. Of course, he was talking about things “under the sun”. Nothing can make crooked things straight. For example, rivers seen from the air meander and wind all over the place. Mesquite limbs are always crooked and cannot...

In Acts 17:1-4, we see what Paul’s manner was when he preached the gospel in a new city. If we can glean from Paul’s manner, we can learn some things about dealing with others. Go To Them “Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them”. He didn’t expect them...
