We need to be reminded that church leadership affects every follower of Christ. There is too much at stake, not only for own lives, but for the life of the church.
The church is required to endure, but we can only do so because of the work Christ has already accomplished. This letter reminds us that Christ has welcomed believers through a doorway that no one can close and will give rewards that no one can take away.
Jesus gives the disciples some instructions in Luke 10 that help us understand how far we must go to tell others about the Kingdom of God and it's resurrected King.
How can Jesus the Messiah, the second person of the Godhead, be called Everlasting Father?
Let's focus on Jesus as the Wonderful Counselor and as we do, I hope that you will never again look at a manger scene without appreciating the wonder of the babe found there.
True transformation and revitalization can happen for us if we will agonizingly devote ourselves to prayer.
Jesus is completely trustworthy and His promises always come to pass, yet He calls us to wait and pray.
One of the simplest, yet most profound things God has invited us to do as His children is to have moment-by-moment communication with Him through this thing called prayer.
Leaders in the church who lead for any other reason than to humbly, sacrificially, draw others to Christ with no regard for their own recognition, must repent, seek God’s and the church’s forgiveness, and return to the Example of Christ!
