Something I can share where God has planted a desire, and spoken to me through others and directly. At my church, we currently are with out a pastor, and our interim pastor retired recently. He led a bi-monthly prayer and fellowship night on Fridays. I was asked to lead the first one, after he...

When does eternal life begin? :contemplate:

I was 35 years old when I was born again, having attended church since 12, and serving in church since my youth in various capacities. I believe Jesus makes it clear, in John 3:8 "The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is...

Oh wow, I had a God dream back in 2020, during covid, where my church was like a cruise ship. There were two sides of the ship, which mirrored each other. A first level, which was the sanctuary, with pews, and the church stage. The other half mirrored this. As well, there was an "upper room"...

God has spoken to me in various ways. Through dreams, studying and meditating on His word, in prayer, and even listening to secular music or watching movies or tv shows. The last time He spoke something to me was two week ago. I was getting ready to write a devotional on how suffering leads us...

My father was in a accident, when he was a courier, back in 2007. He was driving along a street, and something caught his mind. He lost control of his truck, and it went into small apartment, crashing into it. The truck got lodged between two trees some how, between the front and the rear. My...

Thank you for the invite. I was born again, this month, 5 years ago, at the age of 35. I grew up in a home, with a father of muslim background, but not practicing, and a christian mother. Around the age of 7, my mother asked a family friend, who was a Jehovah's Witness to teach me the bible...

Hi Carl, I'm still interested in joining. :)

I've followed your posts on another forum. I would be interested in joining the study.

Great video Epi. One part that stood out to me was serving the saints. It reminded me of a time, a few years back, after the church service. I run the sound at church, as a volunteer, and it is part of my duty to put away the equipment on the stage. Our music director is one of the few paid...

A thought occurred, reading some of the previous replies. If God is almighty in power, is He able to take on flesh and walk the earth? Or is that a limit to His power? :contemplate:

Depends on the type of church, and the needs for the pastor's role. At my church, the senior pastor role is a full time job. Besides leading the Sunday service, there are other ministries the pastor has to lead during the week, visit shut ins and those who are in the hospital. As well, being...

For the study I'm in charge of, I just view my position to lead and allow the Holy Spirit to teach us. Not just through me, but also through those who attend. Its been a blessing, as I've learned many things myself during each study. I have put a big importance on us being taught by the Holy...

Thanks everyone for your recommendations. I'll pray about it, and see where God leads us for the study. I appreciate everyone's input, as it is helpful.

Matthew, Mark, and Luke all mention Jesus going into the wilderness, only John skips it. Like wise, John is the only gospel to mention Jesus' miracle of turning water into wine. You have to keep in mind, Jesus' ministry spanned around three years. So while reading the gospels, there is a lot of...
