  • Is Ambition Okay?

    Is Ambition Okay?

    Is ambition godly? Here is a question I have struggled with throughout my public ministry. Starting out, my ambitions were selfish. I came to a point in ministry, 2018, where I gave up on all my ambitions and settled down. In 2019, doors started opening that had never been open to me before and I…

  • So What About Women In Ministry?

    So What About Women In Ministry?

    Submit your questions by contacting us, commenting, on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, or Tumblr. The ordaining of women in the ministries of the church is one of the most controversial topics of our day. One reason is that people care much more about their positions and their glory than about the glory of God. I…

  • Proclaim 2019- Session 2- Teaching

    Proclaim 2019- Session 2- Teaching

    One of the easiest things for teachers to do is rush to prepare. We can easily fail to put the time needed into knowing before teaching. The result is that we misrepresent God’s word. God’s word is far too important to present flippantly. Preparation is the difficult and time consuming part of this process. Today,…

  • Proclaim 2019- Session 1- Evangelism

    Proclaim 2019- Session 1- Evangelism

    I think that evangelism is one of those things that well-meaning churchy people make way more complicated that it needs to be. Evangelism simply means intentionally sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with as many people as possible. We are the ones who add to this great commission all sorts of burdens and requirements that…

  • Barnabas Supported False Teaching Before Becoming God’s Missionary

    Barnabas Supported False Teaching Before Becoming God’s Missionary

    Last week we read of Peter’s many insufficiencies and sins against God, things that gave him every reason not to be in ministry. We saw the one reason Peter should have been in ministry- the name of Jesus Christ. In Galatians 2, we see that Peter was not the only preacher who struggled against sin…

  • The Apostle Peter’s Disqualifications

    The Apostle Peter’s Disqualifications

    Peter is the first New Testament preacher we see doing the ministry of God’s word after Jesus’ public preaching ministry. Peter is the rock upon whom Christ is building His church  and Jesus told Peter that He was giving to Peter the keys to the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 16:18-19). Peter is the chief apostle…

  • Ministry by Faith, not works

    Ministry by Faith, not works

    I think often about my insufficiencies, and they are many. I am humbled at the fact that God continues to multiply His own ministry through me. Every time I teach and every time I write something that is published, feelings of insecurity and insufficiency surround me. As I mentioned previously, this is expounded by the…

  • I Preach Like Someone Who’s Been Beat Up

    I Preach Like Someone Who’s Been Beat Up

    When I first started in ministry, I preached like I had something important to say. I was the center of attention. I was the one who was going to bring revival. I was the one who would reach millions. I was the one who would teach those things that were so profound no one had…

  • Pastors Are Overseers, Not Overlords

    Pastors Are Overseers, Not Overlords

    We are going to spend some more time in Acts 20. The detail we will consider is one that we have already considered in this study, but I want to spend some more time considering it because it is what we see in chapter seven of Elders in the Life of the Church. We will…
