God’s Ministry Gifts
(Ephesians 4:8-11) When Jesus died, He returned to the Father. His death was not the end of His ministry because we see after He left that the Apostles carried on the next phase of the work, which was to spread the gospel across the earth. Jesus had trained His early disciples to do this work,…

All To The Glory Of God
(1 Corinthians 10:25-33) Here is a question for you. If you knew Jesus was looking over your shoulder every minute of the day, would you do anything differently? I hope the answer you gave to yourself was “no.” But if it wasn't, then consider what you might need to do to change. The focus of…

The Humble Leader
(John 13:12-18) A great part of the life and ministry of Jesus was teaching by example. He taught the disciples many things in words, which they wrote down for our instruction, and He also provided visible examples of what He was teaching in His actions. Often in this world we see the exact opposite. I…

Jesus Washing the Disciples Feet
(John 13:1-7) One of the strongest visual images we get of Jesus is that of Him washing the feet of His disciples. He is trying to teach His disciples an important lesson in His actions and not to them only but to us also. The power of this simple action is enormous. It speaks volumes…
