In this episode, Pastor Rick Vinson shares on working with volunteers. Smaller churches in particular rely on a lot of volunteers. If you don’t have the resources to pay for the different ministry positions yet, then you will need to focus on recruiting volunteers. There are ways to compensate the volunteer staff other than a salary where they will feel appreciated, for example receiving a special love offering for them. Do as much as you can to honor them and show your appreciation to them.
Begin praying earnestly for God to send workers and volunteer staff to your church now. Many times the Lord draws people specifically to your church who will be an answer to your prayer. As pastors, we need to be keen observers, identifying people and the giftings God has placed in them, and helping them cultivate and use those giftings. This is a great responsibility. Also, there are many who feel unworthy and incompetent when it comes to serving in church. We as pastors need to let them know why we have confidence in them, and point out their specific attributes and skills. This will give them the affirmation and desire to want to serve as you recognize the gifting in them.
Next, you need to give them authorization and endorse them as a hard-working volunteer. It is important for them to know that they will be accountable to you as their pastor who assigns their duties and works together with them, versus a committee or board. Motivation, support and incentives are what volunteer staff needs. For example, let them set their hours for volunteering that work well with their full-time job.
Give them titles for the volunteer positions and a realistic job description that is fashioned and tailored for their strengths, along with reasonable goals they can accomplish. The job description needs to be one that helps them to succeed. Invest in their growth with continuing education. This is another way for you to compensate them, for example paying for them to attend a conference.
Trust them and let them make some mistakes. The church needs to be a safe place for people to grow and learn. We all want excellence but it needs to be balanced so the staff can learn and grow. We need to be able to show grace and mercy. If they make a mistake, you can then point out how to correct it.
As a part of growing a staff, empower them and point them to Jesus Who is the head of the church, and connect their job to the entire vision of the whole church. You can’t allow your staff members to separate their ministries from the whole church. They can’t build a wall around their department, and think that nobody else can touch it. They need to have the vision of the whole church and the entire Body of Christ.
Encourage and build up the volunteer staff, show them appreciation, celebrate them, applaud them, send hand-written notes, commend the volunteers and invite them to a staff meeting. It is so important to meet with the ministry staff on a regular basis so that you can celebrate their accomplishments and allow them to talk, ask questions and present challenges they may be facing.
As a pastor, you need to shield and protect your staff from complaints. Make it clear to any person who complains that the staff member answers to you as the pastor. If you need to discipline someone or address a situation, do it privately and respectfully, as it says in 1 Timothy 5:1-2.
Challenge your volunteer staff to grow, maximize their efforts, grow in the ministry that God has given them and walk in unity. When a church staff functions in unity and love as they go about their labors, the result is a powerful testimony to the kingdom of God.
In this episode, Pastor Tom Brown shares on how to handle toxic church members. We realize that Jesus Himself had a toxic member, Judas Iscariot. We will always have members who will give us problems. But we need to avoid condemnation. Thoughts will come to us how could someone act this way after teaching them the Word of God for a number of years.
Don’t get under condemnation if there are some church members who are giving you problems and they have not changed by now. It has nothing to do with you, as you are the sower. You can’t make the seed grow but it depends on the heart of the recipient how the seed grows and produces fruit.
Hebrews 5:12: “For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food.”
Pastor, remember, when people get saved and come to your church, they are babes in Christ and will need milk. Those who are new in Christ are not toxic church members, but instead they need to grow in Christ.
1 Cor. 3:1: “And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ.”
When you have someone who has been saved for a number of years and they are still acting carnal and like a babe in Christ, we are possibly dealing with a toxic church member.
What do you do to help them? As pastors, we need to be patient with church members and give them a chance to grow in Christ. We can’t cut people off if they are not contributing to the growth of the church but we need to feed them. All church members should be growing in the Lord.
A toxic church member is simply a carnal church member, a worldly church member, one who is letting their flesh gain the ascendancy over their life, rather than the Holy Spirit producing fruits like love, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, humility, self-control and faithfulness.
Pastor Tom Brown will share characteristics of a toxic church member, along with Scripture.
The most important thing for pastors is to be patient with everyone, but make sure above all things that you as a pastor will guard the unity in your church.
In this episode, Dr. Timothy McFall shares on the importance of time management. Everything boils down to what you do with your time. If you don’t have a destination, then you are not driven with time management. If you have a purpose, then you are motivated to do something with your time.
If you understand time management, you will succeed. Ask yourself: Where will you be in five years? Where will your church or ministry be in five years?
Then break down the long-term goal into intermediate goals: year 1, year 2, year 3, year 4 and year 5.
The hardest thing will be figuring out where you want to be in five years. If you don’t have destination, any old road will do. You need to be able to see where you want to go: What do I want this certain department in the church to look like in 5 years? What do I want the end result to look like in 5 years? Where do I personally want to be in 5 years? This requires vision, and God will start to show you the steps how to get there.
To implement the 5-year long-term goal, for example for a church/ministry department, first focus on where you’ll want to be during the first year. You can break down the year into 12 months, and implement 5 process goals. Process goals mean that you are doing something specific towards the goal, and then discovering how to put them into action. You can do research and start assessing practical steps for the goals. You will find you’ll be motivated to achieve your process goals when you have a purpose and destination.
It is vital to find exceptional leaders who can manage the system you set up for your goal. The system hinges on itself, and not on the individuals.
Successful churches will learn and find their system which will continue to work, even when people come and go.
Time management is learning how to use your time wisely and taking an assessment of what you are doing daily. If you’ll learn to manage time, you’ll succeed.
In this episode, Dr. Herbert Viars shares on the importance of raising up the next generation of leadership and how they can fulfill their destiny.
Eph. 4:7 CEB: God has given his grace to each one of us measured out by the gift that is given by Christ.
One of the core undertakings in his church is to develop any leader candidate that presents themselves, and to help them discover and walk out their destiny and God’s plan and purpose for their lives.
Eph. 4:11-13 NLT: Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. Their responsibility is to equip God’s people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ. This will continue until we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God’s Son that we will be mature in the Lord, measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ.
Our duty, as outlined in Scripture, is to inspire, develop, nurture and empower God’s people to fulfill His purpose, and to edify, build up and uplift the Body of Christ.
With our gifting and calling, God has given us the grace and anointing to fulfill it. We have everything necessary to fulfill our destiny and our calling, including raising the next generation by training, developing and equipping God’s people to effectively do the work of the ministry and strengthen the Body of Christ.
We focus on three areas in nurturing and developing new leaders:
#1 We help them discover their unique calling and role in the Body of Christ.
#2 We lead by example and show them how to effectively operate in their calling.
#3 We inspire them to pursue their calling with a spirit of excellence.
The most crucial aspect is having the individual candidate understand that they have a very specific, unique place of service and specific calling in the Body of Christ. It could be five-fold ministry, ministry of helps, or serving on a team, …
As they are attempting to identify their calling, we emphasize to them that this is a process. It requires patience and commitment on their part. It is also important that they understand that they are not deciding their destiny and calling but discovering it.
In this podcast, Dr. Viars shares key questions for the potential leadership candidate to answer. These questions will help to lead and guide them in discovering their place and calling in the Body of Christ.
This episode will provide you with insights and ideas on how to raise up, develop and train the next generation of leadership in the Kingdom of God.
In this podcast, Pastor Allen Bailey shares 6 vital keys that will help to protect your focus.
As leaders, we tend to talk everyone else about what they need to be focused on: what life needs to look like, what the ministry of helps needs to look like, how to serve and do all the things in the work of the ministry.
If the enemy can get you to focus on the wrong thing, he can end everything you are called to do.
God called you to be a visionary and to cast the vision. Believe for others to come alongside with you to accomplish those things.
#1 Recognize that broken focus will destroy your dreams. Anything that has distracted you from your assignment is designed by the enemy to steal your vision. Your laser focus should be on the assignment that God has given you and how to do your part.
#2 You must take personal responsibility for your focus. No one else can fully protect you except for the Holy Spirit. If you are not focused on your assignment and spending time with God on what you are called to do and the next steps to take, then you put yourself in a position of being uncovered and missing the protective armor in certain places. Ultimately, God wants you to grow in Him, not in the ministry. If you grow in Him, the ministry will grow.
#3 Control the teaching and the music that enters into your heart. It is vitally important what you allow in your eye and ear gates. Those things will go in your heart and will affect you. God doesn’t want you to be distracted by the trivial.
#4 Keep continuous praise and worship on your lips, in your home and going into your ears at all times. What are you listening to in your car or at home? What are you allowing to seep into your heart? What goes into the good soil of your heart will manifest. Be very cautious of what you are allowing in your heart.
#5 Starve wrong friendships. You don’t need friendships in your life that don’t feed what God has called you to do.
#6 Pursue and permit only those relationships that will increase your focus on your assignment. Focus on the things God has called you to. Too many times we get caught up in the weeds. When we get our focus right, things will begin to work out the right way.
In this podcast, Dr. Daniel Gualtieri shares important strategies for running your race—the race that God has called you to—and crossing the finish line to win the prize.
Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win (1 Cor. 9:24 NASB).
You have to prepare and condition yourself much more before you run the actual race. This is what the Christian life is all about—preparing yourself with the Word and studying to show yourself approved unto God, a workman who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. We also need to be led by the Holy Spirit so we can run our own race, and not someone else’s.
The race itself is short compared to the preparation time that is much longer. We need to show up for practice and make ourselves experts in the Word of God so that we will be ready to fulfill the assignment that God has given to each and every one of us. Our goal is not only to run the race, but to win and receive the prize. That means spending time in God’s Word, putting the Word in our heart and speaking it out of our mouth.
My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart; for they are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh. Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life (Prov. 4:20-23).
Instead of listening to the voices and lies of the world, we need to put a demand on our senses to obey the Word of God. We need to find what the Word says about the affairs of this life and how to live our own Christian walk, including relationships, marriage, finances, healing and health. If we are going to win, we need to have a very close relationship with God through His Word.
It is important for us to find our own pace and breath in the race, making sure that we can perform and finish the race, and that we do not overspend our strength in the beginning. Remember, we can’t run someone else’s race.
I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus (Phil. 3:14 ESV).
The only way to get the prize is to cross the finish line. Make sure to prepare yourself and have enough resources and energy to cross the finish line. Keep your heart with all diligence for out of it are the issues of life. Hide the Word of God in your heart. Don’t speak the problem, but speak the solution. Challenge yourself every day to live a life of love, joy, peace, and all the fruit of the Spirit. Run in such a way to win the race!
In this podcast, Pastor Dan Olson expounds on several vital strategies for hitting the bullseye and staying on target in the ministry which is our lifelong goal.
Philippians 3:13-14: Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
It takes commitment and determination to stay on target in the ministry. God wants us to run with purpose, stay on target and finish our race.
1 Corinthians 9:26-27: Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.
We need to continue to stay in the Word of God, not out of legalism but for our own spiritual growth. It is vital for us to be continually filled. When we are full of the Word of God, we will continue to grow, mature and recognize deception.
2 Timothy 2:15: Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Being part of a ministerial organization, like ICFM, is a source of fellowship and relationships with other ministers. We need to continue to be enriched and hear testimonials that encourage each other. Having friends in the ministry will help you not get off track if you are willing for them to speak into your life. No minister can do it all by themselves. Make sure you have good friends that you can count on, fellowship with and encourage each other. This is so important.
Don’t allow hurt or offenses to stop you from fulfilling your ministry and staying on target for the Lord. Being full of anxiety and worrying will only hinder you spiritually, emotionally, and even physically. Cast your cares on the Lord. We all face challenges in our life and ministry but God is the One who will cause us to overcome.
In his message, Pastor Tom Leuther shares valuable insights from Acts 10 about Cornelius being a History Maker and a World Shaker. He was the first gentile to accept Jesus Christ as his Savior. His life impacted history and generations to come.
God has a plan for your life. Rejoice because you are making a difference right where you are at. What you are doing is changing history. Don’t give up! Don’t quit!
Don’t overlook the significant by looking for the spectacular. God is in the little things we do. When we are faithful over the little things, God will bless us with more.
Even when you are on pause, you are still growing because you are discipling the people who are with you. You are growing them and preparing them for the Kingdom of God.
Let’s not limit God by comparing ourselves to others. Wherever you are at is an important position in the Kingdom of God.
Don’t get discouraged if certain things have not yet come to pass. Stay committed and focused on what God has called you to do. Continue to trust God for the barrier-breaking moment, and doing and seeing greater things.
If you won’t limit God, everything God has put in your heart will come to pass. God wants to bless you! You too are a History Maker and a World Shaker for the Kingdom of God!
In his message, Rev. Mike Joyner shares how Paul compared the Christian life to a race. The ultimate goal is to finish strong and win!
There will always be difficulties and troubles that come your way because we have an adversary and live in a curse-filled world. You can’t control the circumstances or conditions around you but you can control your response to them. If you receive negative news or a bad report, look past it and lean on the Lord, and speak the Word about your situation. Refuse to be moved by these things.
Paul is a perfect example of this. He faced a lot of opposition and trouble. But in Acts 20:24, he declared: None of these things move me! Paul had the right attitude about this.
How do you respond when difficulties come in life (health, finances, family)? We are not going to be moved by the report of the enemy. But we are only moved by the report of the Lord, the Word of God! We need to look past the situation we are facing, and look into the Word of God.
In 2 Timothy 3:11 (AMPC), Paul said: “Persecutions, sufferings—such as occurred to me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra, persecutions I endured, but out of them all the Lord delivered me.” Nowhere did God fail Paul. When Paul received the revelation of God’s grace being sufficient to see him through anything, that is when he began to live and walk in victory.
The same God that saw Paul through will see you through. You can live in victory because God will see you through. Trust in God and be so full of the Word that when life squeezes you, nothing but the Word comes out of you.
Have a resolve that you never give up. Have the strength, courage and boldness to look the enemy right in the eye and say: None of These Things Move Me!
In his message, Pastor Lafayette White shares vital strategies for your leadership to be on the cutting edge. Your preparation step to increase is organization. God wants us to be people who set things in order.
Titus 1:5: For this reason I left you in Crete, that you should set in order the things that are lacking, and appoint elders in every city as I commanded you.
Organization creates order. When you establish order, it eliminates procrastination, extinguishes frustration and exposes toxic associations.
When you are setting things in order, it is important to understand church is a theocracy, and not a democracy. We are led by the Holy Spirit and seek the Lord in prayer. Two phrases that get leadership in trouble are: I think and I feel. We should be following the leadership of the Holy Spirit. Take time to hear from the Lord. Presumption is a dangerous thing and can cause you to miss your window of opportunity. Presumption can cause you to misunderstand your objective.
You must build a winning team. Teams are the fundamental building unit of any ministry or organization. We need teams because each person has something to bring to the table.
If you want to move forward, fundamental changes must take place in order to go to the next level.
When we establish organization and order, we will experience supernatural addition.
Isaiah 48:17: Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: “I am the Lord your God, Who teaches you to profit, Who leads you by the way you should go.”
In his message, Pastor Michael Moonoo shares how vital it is for us to get full and stay full of the Word and the Holy Spirit in these days we are living in. As ministers, we can’t afford to be empty or half full. We need to stay armed spiritually; we need to stay proficient and we need to stay ready!
First, be full of the Word! Matthew 4:4: But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’”
We live by the revelation of the Word of God. The meaning of the Greek word rhema is utterance, revealed knowledge and understanding gained only by fellowship. As ministers, when we are full of the Word, we make it easier for others to receive and understand the Word.
Second, be full of His Spirit! John 7:37-38: On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.”
To stay full of His Spirit, we need to keep proficient in praying in the Holy Ghost. The rivers of living water flow from our belly, our inner man. If your church, town or region is dry, pray in the Holy Ghost until you catch the flow. Spend time drilling for the rivers of living water. Then when your cup starts to overflow, it will flood your home, it will flood your church, and then it will flood your town and region.
Also, it is vital that we are connected with others in this season. There is a refreshing that may not come anywhere else but through your connection with other ministers. When you sow refreshing, you will be refreshed yourself.
Statistics tell us that 70% of leaders struggle with loneliness. This comes from dealing with people and the demands of ministry in this current culture. Loneliness causes us to shut down and makes us feel like there is no purpose left for us. It can steal our focus, and affect our life and marriage.
If you are feeling lonely, there is hope for you. You do have purpose, and you are not alone in this. In his message, Pastor Kia Perez shares practical steps for getting out of loneliness.
Proverbs 27:17: “As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.”
We need each other, and we are not meant to do life and ministry alone. In ICFM you are part of a family who loves you and cares for you.
Matthew 11:28-30 NASB: “Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is comfortable, and My burden is light.”
You are needed. We have a world to share the love of Jesus with. God is for you! Who can be against you! We are not here to compete with one another, but we are here to complement one another.
In her message, Dr. Datha Thomas shares that we are called to be leaders for such a time as this. Nobody can do your assignment like you. Never underestimate the power of what God has chosen to put in you. Even if we feel unqualified to be leaders, when we get into the Word of God, we realize what an honor it is for God to consider each and every one of us as leaders.
God has chosen us to help others to fulfill their destiny. When God created us, He placed gifts and talents inside of us which were chosen by Him because of our destiny. He knew what gifts and talents we need to have operating in our lives to fulfill the call of God on our lives.
What is going to give you confidence in God using you? Spending time with Him in prayer. You never rise any higher than your prayer life.
A real leader is not self-centered. A real leader wants to produce other leaders. With this heart attitude, God will bring many leaders across your path for you to help them and aid them, to teach them how to pull out what’s on the inside of them, so that they can fulfill their destiny. Pulling together we will fulfill what God wants.
As a tree is hid in a seed, so your future as a leader is not ahead of you. It is still inside of you. No matter what age you are, when the anointing is on you, God will open the door—you are needed. You are called and equipped by God to be a leader. Never give up! As long as you are breathing, you are still in the arena of leadership for the Kingdom of God.
In his message, Dr. Daniel Gualtieri emphasizes our need for the power of the Holy Spirit in demonstration, as well as the supernatural working through the Word of God in our lives and ministries.
There is a recipe for God’s power and blessing in Psalm 119:145-148. The keys include developing a devotion and personal relationship with God, as well as a partnership with Him so there will be an impartation of the Holy Spirit that flows when you are ministering. Make yourself an expert in the Word of God. Train yourself to put everything through the filter of His Word.
As we prepare ourselves for God to use us, we will be in the right position, at the right place at the right time, to sharpen our ministry and fulfill the assignment that God has for us.
Pastor Jim Frease shares powerful combination concepts of grace and truth for you and your ministry. While we live in a very unbalanced world and culture, God wants us to have Biblical balance.
There are two imbalances that can be found in today’s churches. First, condemnation churches major on what they are against versus what they are for. They speak the truth but not in love. Second, comfortable churches lack the commitment to the Word, and their teaching always revolves around self-improvement. They tickle your ears instead of telling you the truth.
What is Biblical balance? John 1:17b: “…but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.” Jesus was 100% grace and 100% truth at the same time. If you are full of Jesus, you are full of grace and truth.
We need the compassion of grace. We need the conviction of truth. We need the blend of grace and truth.
Grace minus truth equals liberalism. Truth minus grace equals legalism. Grace plus truth equals liberty. In this hour, in this culture and society, as we emulate our Lord, we and our ministries need to be full of grace and truth. As a result, our ministries can affect hundreds, thousands and tens of thousands of people, having the Biblical balance of grace and truth.
In this episode, Pastor Zane Bousum shares vital insights on how we can lead and love others, as church and ministry leaders. Hosea 11:3-4 (NASB): “Yet it is I who taught Ephraim to walk, I took them in My arms; but they did not know that I healed them. I pulled them along with cords of a man, with ropes of love, and I became to them as one who lifts the yoke from their jaws; and I bent down and fed them.”
There are powerful keys for leadership in these verses. First, lift your people up in love. This will position them to receive healing. Pull them along with ropes of love so they can be properly fed and receive the nourishment from the Word. In 1 Kings 12:1-15, King Rehoboam had the opportunity to lead with ropes of love but instead he chose chains of bondage. As a result, the people rejected his leadership and did not end up following him at all. The most powerful force in the world is the love of God for us. As leaders, if we want to see lives changed and transformed, let us show, express and lead them by the love of God and the ropes of love.
At the age of 15, Dr. Daniel King wrote down a goal of leading one million people to Jesus by the age of 30. After reaching it, his goal now is one million souls per year. Sharing about Jesus is an assignment given to every single believer. Between Jesus’ resurrection and ascension, He had one thing on His mind: The Great Commission. The world is a very dark place. But let your light shine! Each one of us is called to be a shining light in the midst of great darkness. It takes one light to make a difference in the world. Feel the same compassion for people as Jesus did.
The story in Mark 4 gives us insight into the peace Jesus had in the middle of a storm, and the ability of not being disturbed by what goes on around Him. If Jesus had a pillow, and used it in the storms of His earthly ministry and life, we should have one too. The pillow represents rest and confidence that God will take care of us, and not being bothered by the storms around us. Many have the question: Why do great men and women make mistakes? The #1 reason why people make mistakes in life and ministry is the problem of exhaustion. There are different kinds of tiredness: physical, mental and spiritual. Every one of us face these three, and each one needs to be dealt with in a different way. It is important that we do tiredness checks on all three areas to make sure we are full of strength. One of the great traps of the enemy is to wear you out and to get you exhausted, so he can find access to your gift and your life. His goal is to cause trouble and disqualify you from ministry. Dr. Roberts Liardon shares practical wisdom and vital tools which will strengthen you in these three areas. God wants you to make it to the end of your days full of life and overflowing with joy and peace, finish everything you were called to do, and enjoy your time on the earth.
Pastors Dan and Joan Olson share over ten vital insights for longevity in ministry, that will impart wisdom and be a source of strength in your life and ministry. What a privilege it is to be called to the ministry in these last days! Be faithful where God has planted you. Don’t quit! Keep running your race, and finish your race. Psalm 92:12-14 (NKJV): “The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree, he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Those who are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bear fruit in old age; they shall be fresh and flourishing.”
Pastor Brenda Wood shares that you have been called to be a light in the darkness and a voice in this generation to usher in the greatest awakening before Jesus comes. It is the call of God that keeps you going forward in spite of circumstances. God’s calling is never rescinded and never cancelled. Stress and burnout come when we don’t take care of ourselves. Pastor Brenda Wood goes over 5 key areas of self-care for ministers that will restore, refresh and renew you. Then you’ll continue to run the race with endurance and resolve to finish what God called you to do. Allow the Holy Spirit to refresh your soul so you can continue to put your hand to the plow, go forward and do the things God has called you to do.
Pastor Rory Synoground shares that God has placed and ordained you as a leader in the Body of Christ. Leaders are born. It is who you are. To be a better leader—the leader that God has ordained and created you to be—allow God to fashion, mold and frame your heart to who you are in Him, not to the world’s standards of leadership. Our ability comes from God, and it is immeasurable. Discover afresh and anew who you are as a leader in the Body of Christ.
Rev. Zachary Bigley shares that every storm has an expiration date. The storm is a clue that something good is coming. Every time Jesus and His disciples went through a storm together, they always reached the other side. They always reached their destination, and there was an assignment waiting for them. Rest in the promises of God, and trust Him to get you to the other side.
Dr. Edward Barger shares that no matter what we are facing today, we are furnished for every good work and equipped to overcome. Stay strong and steady in the vision and purpose God has given you. Our God is with us and for us! We are never going to allow pressure to cause us to bend. We are never going to compromise God’s Word. We shall be steadfast, and we shall prevail.
Bishop Tom Brown shares the dynamics of being led by the Spirit and how we need to recognize that it often goes contrary to our flesh. God’s direction is always the wisdom of God. When He speaks to you, faith comes, and when you follow His leading your ministries will be successful.
In this dynamic teaching, Pastor Kempie Womble unfolds both spiritual and practical insights on how to build and develop your ministry team.
Dr. Bob Raimondo shares about sound words and their importance as a foundation of our lives and ministries. 2 Timothy 1:13 (NASB1995): “Retain the standard of sound words which you have heard from me, in the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.” Sound words are a sketch, a pattern and a concise representation; they are words that paint a picture in our hearts. We are to pattern our lives and ministries after the sketch and pattern of sound words of Scripture.
Dr. Orlando Barela shares vital insights on fulfilling the plan and purpose of God for your ministry, and reaching the destiny God has prepared for you.
Pastor Tom Leuther shares how the Power of Forgiveness can Reset Your Ministry for a new season.
