Along the way, we are re...

Send us Fan Mail When we think about serving God, it’s easy to assume that ministry belongs to preachers, elders, Bible class teachers, or other church leaders. Yet the New Testament paints a much larger picture. God has called every believer to serve, encourage, teach, and help build up the body of Christ. Today we’ll explore a powerful truth from Ephesians chapter four: church leaders are called...

As we walk together today, may this beloved hymn remind us that the Christian life is more than admiratio...

Send us Fan Mail It is incredible to think that God’s plan rests in our hands.  I mean by this that as we look at events in the New Testament when the message of the gospel is taught, it is done through fellow Christians.  God always brings the seeker and the teacher together.
