  • Getting Back to Our Roots: Before Appointing New Pastors in 1 Timothy 1

    Getting Back to Our Roots: Before Appointing New Pastors in 1 Timothy 1

    Pastoral ministry is unique in this world. Many men are called to pastoral ministry.

While we can see…

  • Encouragement During This Time of Transition

    Encouragement During This Time of Transition

    I want to take a few moments and write a note of encouragement directly to my church family at GABC since the church is in a time of transition. Times of transition are interesting because no one really knows what’s next. No one knows what to expect in the coming months, let alone next week,…

    Daily Devotional: 1 Thessalonians 2:1-12

    Paul, and those with him when he visited Thessalonica, shared the gospel free of monetary charge in the midst of great oppression while they were there. The Thessalonian church is now made up of people who believed despite oppression from both Jews and gentiles in their city. Paul is greatly encouraged and praises the church. …
