Providing Effectual Biblical Resources for Churches, Ministries, Pastors, Sunday School, Youth and Small Group Leaders!





What happens when you support us?


Unlike a lot of good ministries, you are 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. A pastor in Central Asia who makes a mere $60 a month can have access to a library of solid biblical resources, sermons and studies as well as practical effectual help to lead and manage their church. You help a person who wants to be a pastor to be trained, such as how to exegete Scripture, prepare sermons and how to grow themselves and their flock in Christ. Thus, you help people like Pastor Narula to not take the limited money to feed his family and divert it to feed his church, now he can do both. You help Pastor Sanjiv to spend the time to council and help his people because we help him administer his church. You help a young man named Babu prepare to become a pastor. You help us stay in full time ministry ministering to over 10,000 pastors worldwide (this does not even include the 5,000 people who use our web resources each day!)!

 

Help us help them, help us help you!

 


We cannot do this vital ministry without you!


 





Weekly Bible Study



Colossians 4:7-18  Ones Faithful Service to Christ!

 



Why is the dating of Revelation so important? Because it sets up what approach or view one will take-which of the four.

 


 

What is next? The Gospel of John starting in April!

        Hebrews, Psalms & Colossians archives



 

Monthly Bible Study Articles


Fruit of the Spirit   Introduction to the Fruit of the Spirit!

 

What does the work and empowerment of the Spirit mean to you? Our fruit is the work of the Spirit, God's love and work in us, the love of Christ flowing in through His Holy Spirit in and out of us!

 



 

This comes from a big problem we have in most churches today, that is the tendency of leaders not effectually growing in the Lord and thus do not practice their faith and this dispenses down to the congregation.



 

Growing in Christ is the key to growing a church.

 

Next, a new series on the Fruit of the Spirit!

Church Growth Tip of the Week

 

Your church can achieve the extraordinary when your people serve in their area of their giftedness in a team manner. The quarrels and apathy will dry up as the energies are redirected and channeled in a Godly way. People will function less in their own strength and more in the power of the Holy Spirit. (1 Corinthians 12-14)

 

Prayer Guide for your Church and Pastor!

 

Pray that negative thinking, stress, being overwhelmed, the ways of the world, the tyranny of the urgent, being overcommitted, over busyness, fatigue, compromise, pressures, overworked, under-appreciated, misunderstandings, and stress will not get in your spiritual home and take over (John 14:1; Acts 6:2-4; 2 Cor. 10:3-5; Eph. 4:17).
