Selfish Leadership

Last updated on: June 13, 2018 at 9:46 pm By Jim Erwin

Selfish Leadership ““Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel. Prophesy, and say to them: This is what the Lord God says to the shepherds: Woe to the shepherds of Israel, who have been feeding themselves! Shouldn’t the shepherds feed their flock?” (Ezekiel 34:2, HCSB) God warns against a common trend today in church leadership.

2 Peter 1:5-11 Graduating From the School of Christ

Last updated on: May 30, 2018 at 11:29 am By Jim Erwin

2 Peter 1:5-11 Graduating From the School of Christ Some of us here are graduating from school. We have spent years learning certain skills, which we hope to be able to apply in our lives.

I would submit that in 2 Peter we can look at spiritual growth... Read more

Why Does the Resurrection Matter?

Last updated on: June 13, 2018 at 9:57 pm By Jim Erwin

Why Does the Resurrection Matter? There are three important questions about the Resurrection: What is the resurrection of Christ? What is the evidence that this resurrection occurred? Why does the Resurrection important? We can understand the nature of Christ’s resurrection by comparing it to the raising of Lazarus (John 11:38-44) and the son of the widow of Nain (Luke 7:11-17). These two men were physically dead; Jesus brought them back to life. They did not live forever in the body... Read more

Last updated on: June 14, 2018 at 11:18 am By Jim Erwin

Acts 9:26-27 Cheerleaders Definition of a cheerleader: An enthusiastic and vocal supporter. Definition of an encourager: to spur on; to inspire, give courage, and share hope. Many churches are in need of what every football team has: cheerleaders. The job of a cheerleader is to tell everybody “we’re going to make it.” No matter how bad things look on the scoreboard, there is still hope. Cheerleaders cheer all the way to the end of the game and will act as... Read more
