Monthly Bible Study Article

Building a Life of Hope

What is Your Legacy? You can be the example of faith and stewardship of what we have, which always comes from somewhere we did not make or refine. God is the Great Maker and Refiner; we give to Him and we become His representative as a show of gratitude and devotion. We can show character in adversity and in power that resounds though time and history long after we are gone.

Christianity is not just the proclamation of the Gospel; it is also the example of the Gospel!

We Need Your Partnership! Why?

What happens when you support us?

Your gift is not only supporting us to do ministry, but you partner with us to come along side to do real ministry to other pastors too. You help those in ministry who have no means to go to higher education or receive seminary level educational resources or the means to pastor their flock effectively.

Why should you support Into Thy Word?

We Need your Help! Every small bit of help, helps us serve our Lord!

It is our VISION and call, and commitment to point the church back onto the path of making disciples. It is our passion and directive to lead Christians away from our false perceptions and into His way.

Help us help them, help us help you!

Church Growth Tip of the Week

Sometimes people just will not like you if you are modeling Christ, and some do not like to be led to Scriptural principles. These people are happy in their will and desires, and will not like the Fruits of the Spirit working around them. They are the weeds in the wheat. Let those people go, and focus on the ones whose hearts are after His! (Romans 16:17-18; Galatians 1:10; Titus 3:9-11)

Prayer Guide for your Church and Pastor!

Pray that your church becomes real, authentic, disciples of Christ who are learning, growing, and making Fruit and in turn, making more disciples (Prov. 19:23; Mal. 3:11; Matt. 28:18-20; John. 15:16; Gal. 5:22-23)
