Life of the Party
The gospel of John was written so that people could believe in Jesus. John wrote, “30 Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. 31 But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by…
Read MoreChildren of God
There are only two kinds of people in the world, children of God and children of the Devil. All humanity is born as children of the Devil because of Adam’s sin that handed down a sinful nature to every human (Romans 3:23,5:12 & John 8:42-44).

Read MoreChurch Involvement
The Bible uses the strongest and most intimate language when describing the church. In one place the Bible calls the church, “The Bride of Christ” (Revelation 19:7), in another place, “The Body of Christ” (1 Corinthians 12:27) and Jesus Himself called it His, “Mother, Brothers and Sisters” (Matthew 12:50).

Read MorePublic Evangelism
Research shows that more than half of Jesus’ earthly ministry was spent preaching and teaching in public. Today’s disciple should both heed Jesus’ command to go into the “roads and country lanes” (Luke 14:23) and follow His clear example! Public evangelism is all about Jesus and being led by the Holy Spirit. It is impossible to preach the…
