Sleep is necessary for your body to rest, for relaxation and to have a break. Sleep is also important to improve your productivity and your performance. However, there are times when it is inappropriate to sleep, and there are also times when it is inappropriate to sleep for too long. When you are asleep your eyes are closed. You no longer have your sight and your vision. To be asleep, therefore, is to lose your sight and your vision. To be asleep is to lose awareness and knowledge of your surroundings. To be asleep is to be unaware of danger. That is why God says that you must awake from ...

The messages in this audiobook, were given to brethren from all over Cameroon in Yaoundé at a critical point in the work. There was a real increase in numbers of those who were turning away from their sins and becoming new creatures in Christ. Many young people were beginning to receive ministry gifts and to minister in the churches. There was a need for a fresh look at the ministry and the ministers as revealed in the New Covenant.

If you preach God’s Word, you long to do so with the same scriptural philosophy and spiritual power that marked the preaching of the apostle Paul. In one brief New Testament passage, Paul explains the unique source of his power. In first-century Corinth, the Greeks highly prized and even idolized the ability to speak intelligently and eloquently. Unfortunately, many in the church in Corinth had embraced those secular standards, even causing serious division in the church.

The modern Church faces a significant crisis in the area of discipleship, as many believers have drifted from the core mission of making new disciples. Jesus’ Great Commission explicitly commands His followers to "go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you" (Matthew 28:19-20). Despite this clear directive, many churches today focus more on increasing attendance or building programs rather than actively engaging in personal disciple-making. This trend has ...

Rather than contain vague references to the words and actions of "the LORD" and "God" within the text, The First Seventy offers both seasoned readers/listeners of the Bible and those new to the text a spiritual explanation that can be discussed, debated, and incorporated into each individual's moment-to-moment life. Weaving direct quotations from the Bible into a fluid narrative, The First Seventy: A Retelling Commentary, Creation - The Ten Commandments retells and explains the interconnected story that spans the first seventy chapters of the Bible.

Do you love the Lord? That is an important question! Our Lord, Jesus Christ, asked Peter, “Peter do you love me? Why is your love for God something that we need to discuss? Jesus says the greatest commandment is that you should “love the Lord your God, with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind.” Sometimes, there are circumstances thrown together and presented to you by the Lord that are simply tests, tests to prove your love for the Lord. If you love the Lord, prove it by passing the tests of love! Another amazing book by renowned author, Dag Heward-Mills, which ...

I have had the great privilege of sitting under the expository preaching of Steve Cole over the last 27 years. I have benefited greatly from his excellent teaching, as has my church and many around the world who get his sermons regularly over e-mail. Many others listen online or find sermons through the church website, fcfonline.org or bible.org. This compilation of 5 of my personal favorite sermons is designed to direct people interested in good biblical preaching to Steve's sermons, who may not otherwise find them.

When you prepare to go out into the world and share the good news that God is alive and the benefits of knowing God in a personal way, much time is usually invested in knowing the pillars of salvation and the road to becoming alive in the spirit. This book is relatively short, but the concepts are the most powerful contributor to your future as a communicator of all things to all people. You will have many opportunities in the future to expand on what you learn here, but take it slowly and deliberately.

The church at Philippi is considered to be one of the model churches of the New Testament. But if this were a report at a shareholders' meeting, we might be asking ourselves whether the chairman has really got this right? Is something being hidden? It seems too good to be true! If this were an athlete stating this, we might be asking ourselves whether there has been some performance-enhancing substance in the diet! And if this were an end-of-term report, we might be asking ourselves if the teacher had got the right child. Can a church really be that good?

From the beginning of his ministry, Jesus called and equipped individuals who would serve his community of followers. These "shepherds" are called to preach, pray, and care for the needs of God's people. But what does it mean to be a pastor? And what is the nature of this ministry, according to the Bible? In these 10 audio lectures, Jared Wilson begins by looking at the qualifications for the pastorate, addressing the notion of a call to ministry and how an individual—and a church community—can best identify the marks of maturity and affirm a call.

Ministry Makeover examines the decline within the church, especially the United Methodist Church (UMC), and some causes for this decline. It calls for a reforming of United Methodist structure and polity by drawing more attention to the value of the bi-vocational model of ministry and a re-visitation of the Wesleyan/United Brethren view and historical perspective.

Under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, Paul wrote the epistle to the Colossians, refuting all false claims about God. Paul reaffirms to the original audience and the global Church that Christ is preeminent. Paul sharply rebuked every influence that attempted to infiltrate the Church. Through the leading of the Holy Spirit, Paul would not allow anything to compromise the truth. The Church at Colossae dealt with Gnosticism, paganism, mysticism, Greek philosophies, and Old Testament practices of the Law fulfilled by Christ. Yet, none of these could withstand the truth of God’s Word. In ...

The declaration 'It is finished' resonates profoundly in the context of Jesus' crucifixion, symbolizing the fulfillment of His divine mission. This phrase also echoes through various biblical narratives, where seemingly inexplicable events ultimately yield triumphant outcomes. In this book, we'll delve into poignant stories that exemplify the transformation of adversity into victory. Though the characters may not have uttered the exact words 'It is finished,' their experiences illustrate the same redemptive arc.

He Went About Doing Good: The Compassion of Christ in Luke: FHU 2022 Bible Lectureship Study Book. Our world has seen its share of impatience and mean spiritedness. We have seen it as we dealt with important issues, elections, and relationships. Jesus saw it too.

On March 13, 2016, I began an expository sermon series based on the Psalms. By the time I finish preaching them and writing the books, I will publish nine volumes. I desire that this, and all subsequent books, help you see yourself in the lives of the various psalmists as they share their ups and downs and what they did to glorify God in all things. My prayer is that what I’ve discovered will bless and expand the kingdom of God. The Psalms serve as a seamless link between the Law and the Prophets while pointing to the coming Messiah. They reveal the whole spectrum of emotions and how they...

It is often noted that Psalm 118:8, “It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man,” is the middle verse of the Bible. While one could debate the details of that claim, it is certain that this volume of Bishop Myron Powell’s series highlights the Psalms that are not only at the very central core of the Bible, but that equally must be hidden within the very core of our spiritual being. With masterful wisdom, Bishop Powell not only takes us on an incredible journey through Psalms 99-118, but he also gives us the opportunity to see the entirety of God’s work of ...

Bible study and especially deeper theology is far more vast than most people realize. People who teach from the Holy Scriptures can be very sincere but also sincerely wrong. This is error, rather than "false teaching" which always has an evil motive behind it, such as gleaning wealth from God's people, purposefully confusing them and claiming to be something they are not. This includes Prophets (some men really are Prophets), healers (this supernatural gift does operate today as God wills but some men use false chicanery), and the list goes on.
