Men Prepare Sermons; God Prepares Men

2nd Timothy 2:15

"The proper place for a ship to be is in the water, but if the water gets into the ship, the ship will sink. The proper place for the church is in the world,

BUT IF THE 'WORLD' GETS INTO THE CHURCH,

THE CHURCH WILL GO DOWN IN DISGRACE!"

Thank you for taking the time to view our blog;we look forward to reading your comments. DVDs of our services are available upon request. We covet your prayers and friendship. In His Service and For His Glory, Pastor Bill & Kathy ...
"Now fear the Lord and serve Him with all faithfulness...But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve...But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD."-Joshua 24:14-15

Is God Calling You to be a Pastor?

The right kind of education is essential to the man who has answered God's call. No army dare send a soldier into battle without proper training. The results would be devastating, not only for the warrior, but for the war.

IS THERE A BIBLICAL PRESCRIPTION TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN? YES! ONE, AND ONLY ONE. IT'S FOUND IN 2nd CHRONICLES 7:14; "IF MY PEOPLE WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME WILL HUMBLE THEMSELVES, AND PRAY AND SEEK MY FACE, AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS, THEN I WILL HEAR FROM HEAVEN, AND WILL FORGIVE THEIR SINS AND HEAL THEIR LAND." 

THE ANSWER IS: TURN BACK TO THE LORD GOD-TO FAITH-FAMILY! 


WHY REACH OUT AND MINISTER TO MEN?

  • When a child is reached for Christ, 3.5% of the family will follow.
  • When a mother is reached for Christ, 17% of her family will follow.
  • When a father is reached for Christ, 93% of his family will follow.  (Per the Heritage Foundation)
  • THE LORD S CALLING FAITHFUL MEN TO LEAD THEIR FAMILIES!

******************************************************

     THE OLD COUNTRY CHURCH



SAVED BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH


As a pastor, as a minister called by God, I am to trust Him, to believe Him, to teach His Word; the Bible in all Meekness, with Humility, yet, Boldly preach that every Word in the Bible is true; not merely only what I may want to be true; but, that every word is true; and teach it without compromise!

"How can they hear without a Preacher!"

Pastor’s Corner

Written by: Dr. Doug W. Beeks- Blue-line ministries
Edited by: Pastor William Perry- Community Christian Church

A Servant’s Heart

“For who is greater, the one at the table or the one serving? Isn’t it the one at the table? But I am among you as the one who serves.” (Luke 22:27, CSB)

While the disciples sat at the table during the Last Supper, they began to argue about who should be considered the greatest. Jesus asked them who is greater, the one sitting at the table, or the one serving? While many will assume the person being served at the table is greater than the one serving, Jesus said He would be among those that serve, making it clear where He stood, and how one will be received into His kingdom.

The other day a friend expressed to me his disappointment he was no longer able to volunteer his time in support of the cause he had chosen. He had been faithfully doing so for many years, and now there was a void in his heart for the past opportunity.

While the opportunity to serve may no longer be available, a desire to serve will remain, longing to find other ways to serve. We sometimes call this continuing desire to serve as having a servant’s heart; where one seeks helping others and putting their needs above their own. In our efforts to serve, we must ensure our motivations to do so are done with the right motive; always placing the will of serving the Lord Jesus first. True Christian servant-hood is to serve without expectation of rewards, recognition or gratitude, serving the Lord for His glory. 

There are many ways we can serve others, serving should start in the Church, and in doing so, we will be serving in the will and the glory of the Lord. Just the act of going to church or weekly bible study is a service to Him; in doing so, you provide example and motivation to others; possibly even leading them to Christ. While attending church each week, you may become aware of opportunities to serve in ways you had not thought of before. Pray and ask the Lord for wisdom and guidance in how He would have you use the gifts and abilities He has given you, and as you seek, you will find what He desires of you.

“Ask, and it will be given to you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.” (Matthew 7:7–8, CSB)

Lord, We acknowledge and thank you for the gifts and abilities you have graciously given all of us. May the holy spirit guide our servant’s heart to best use those gifts and abilities; ultimately using them in service of your will and to your glory. In Jesus name, we pray. Amen.

FILL IN THE BLANKS!

(Check answers below.)  NOTE! Filling in the blanks each week, could give a serious student of the Lord Jesus Christ and the Bible, an education equal to a Theological degree within two years.

“We Are One Body”
1 Cor. 1:30; 1 Cor. 12:12-13

1.     In John 17:20-23 Jesus ___________ that we might be united with Him.  He purchased this unity for us at the Cross.

SALVATION:  Not only to Eternity in Heaven, but from Eternity in Hell!  You MUST, first of all:  Humble yourself and Admit You Are a Sinner in Need of a Savior:


James 2:10 “For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles on one (point), he has become guilty of all.”

Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”

Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Accept God’s Love through the/Sacrifice in His Son Jesus
•Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”

Turn to God in Repentance
•Acts 20:21 “I have declared to both Jews and Greeks that they must turn to God in repentance and have faith in our Lord Jesus.”

Trust the Fullness Jesus Christ!
•Romans 10:9 “…if you confess with your mouth Jesus as  Lord,  and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved;

Romans 10:13 “For whoever calls on the Name of the Lord shall be saved.”

Romans 10:14 “How then shall they call on Him Who they have not believed?  And how shall they believe in Him of Whom they have not heard?  And how shall they hear without a preacher?

Romans 10:17 “So then Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.

Jeremiah 29:13 “You will seek Me (God) and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart.”

It may not be easy to give up your old sinful ways, and turn in faith to Jesus Christ; but it is the only way to  SALVATION,  AND IT IS WORTH IT! 

 CALL UPON (THE FULLNESS OF) THE NAME OF JESUS AND YOU WILL BE SAVED!
