Today on a Daily Walk pastor John Randall will help us see our work in this way. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29

The pastor like a shepherd of sheep is called to feed, lead and protect the flock. It's a big job but should they be compensated for that? As we get back into First Timothy we open up chapter five - and broach the subject of providing for the pastor and church staff.

There are many needs within the church… from the single Mom who's finding it hard to make ends meet, to the widow who is lonely, or a teen who feels like they can't make it another day!

Today we'll join pastor John Randall in Matthew chapter 25, where we're told of a coming judgment of the nations. At the end of the Tribulation Jesus will come again, and a great separation will occur. Some will be granted entrance into the Kingdom of Heaven, and others who will be judged for their sins and receive eternal judgement. How can you be sure you're on the right side? Find out today.

We pick up where we left off in First Timothy, today. So make your way over to chapter four if you would. Paul is describing for Timothy, what it takes to be an effective minister or servant of God. And John believes these are qualities that make for a good minister today! To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29
Maybe you're the type of person that hits the gym on a regular basis, seeking to improve your physical health or appearance. While that's certainly not a bad thing, there is something even more important that we want to focus your attention on! And that is to exercise ourselves toward godliness! We're talking about how we can be effective servants or ministers of God today on a Daily Walk, as we dive back into First Timothy.

Why is the church so important? We'll pursue the answer to that question as we open up First Timothy today on a Daily Walk. We have a message the world desperately needs to hear, and we're to uphold the truth! But we're told in the last days people in large numbers will depart from the truth of the gospel. Paul is about to warn Timothy about false doctrine, and it's something we need to hear today as well! To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29
If I were to ask you what is the church, would you immediately think of a building where people gather for worship? I think it's safe to say many would, but today on a Daily Walk we learn what the church really is. It's really not a building, but a family of people that belongs to God!In First Timothy three we get a 3 fold description of the church that we can benefit from!

Today on a Daily Walk we get right back into our study of First Timothy. Recently we've been talking about leadership in the church, and today the focus is on the deacons, or those who serve in the church. They are to serve out of a motivation of love for the Lord, and have certain characteristics in their lives. The first we'll look at has to do with the consumption of alcohol.

How are you serving the Lord today friend? If you're struggling to come up with an answer, be encouraged that we all have a role to play in the church! Today on a Daily Walk we turn your attention to First Timothy three, which describes the role of Deacons in the church. And a Deacon really is a servant!

John Randall is midway through a study of First Timothy. Timothy was given the responsibility of selecting godly leadership in the church, but what should he look for? Paul gave him some help and listed 16 qualifications that should be a part of the pastor's life. And these are characteristics to be found in today's church leader too!

Many of us are leaders in some capacity… whether it's at home, at work or in the church! Today on a Daily Walk we're going to take notice of the qualifications that are to be met for leaders in the church. There are sixteen of them layed out for us in First Timothy three.

Today on a Daily Walk we give attention to a couple of powerful parables spoken by our Lord in Matthew chapter 25. Jesus is coming again at a time when it's not expected, and we're to be ready for it! Part of being ready involves using what God has given us for His glory and the Kingdom of God. Question is, what are you doing with what you've been given by God? Are you faithful and are you ready? To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29
Today on a Daily Walk we open up First Timothy chapter two, and verses 8-15. In recent years there's been some discussion within church circles, as to whether or not a woman should be a pastor or teach over a mixed crowd. The passage we're about to look at makes it clear what the answer should be, and remember this is God's unchanging Word written for our benefit and good.

We're about to continue our study of First Timothy and today we come to what you might say is a hotly debated issue in the world and church today. But pastor John will stress that we should allow God's Word to guide us to what is right and acceptable, not the culture! In chapter two, Paul addresses the role, appearance and action of women in public worship. How should a women dress, and act in the church setting? Can they teach and preach from the pulpit? Well let's allow the Word to answer that for us! To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29
How's your prayer life going these days? I think we'd all agree there's always room for improvement. And sometimes we need to refocus, as we've gotten off track! Today on a Daily Walk we'll take a look at what the focus of our prayers should be, as we get back into First Timothy. Pastor John Randall will also emphasize the person that makes prayer possible, as well as the posture of prayer. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29
Did you know, according to pollsters the average Christian in our country prays about three minutes a day. That's if they pray at mealtime and bedtime!

We'll notice the priority of prayer as well as the types of prayers to be prayed. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29
Pastor John Randall is in the early stages of a study in First Timothy, and today on a Daily Walk we'll set our sights on the first chapter. You can bet that the enemy would like nothing more than to distract christians from what really matters, and get us sidetracked. Too often believers enter into foolish arguments, debates, and start to focus on things that don't matter in the light of eternity. Or they start to add or detract from the Gospel message. To do so, is dangerous. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29
Today John Randall will bring us another message from his series through Matthew's gospel. We all know the Boy Scout motto, “Be prepared”. It's also a very good motto for us as we await the time when the Lord will take His people home in the rapture. Will you be ready and prepared when that happens? Let's get ready, as we join pastor John in Matthew 25. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29
Today on a Daily Walk we begin a new study of First Timothy. In the coming weeks the plan is to go through each verse in the epistle with you! Now God has a message for us to receive and deliver to others, but far too many get sidetracked and delve into things that have nothing to do with the Scriptures. It's a dangerous thing, and worth some time talking about so it doesn't happen to us. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29
Today we'll present the final study in Second Thessalonians. There are certainly a lot of people who are out of work these days—some to no fault of their own and they have a strong desire to get to work. But there are those who don't want to work, and are able. The Lord, through the apostle Paul has something to say to such people, and we'll hear what that is in just a moment. And as we do we'll see how to deal with the disorderly. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29
It's during those times, we need to remember how much our Lord loves us and that He is faithful. And the Thessalonian church needed to hear that. Maybe you do too?

So you're saved and on your way to heaven… that's great! But how should you live now in light of your salvation in Christ? We're going to talk about that today on a Daily Walk.

Pastor John Randall picks up where we left off in our study of Second Thessalonians today. Paul wrote this second letter just a few months after his first, and wanted to praise and encourage the Thessalonians for their faith under fire. But he also wanted to remind them to beware of false teachings and false prophets. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29
Pastor John Randall will bring us another challenging message from God's word today as we continue our study through Matthew. We'll pay another visit to the Olivet Discourse in chapter 24 today. If you'll recall this is Jesus' response to His disciples' question concerning when the Temple would be destroyed, when the end of the age would occur, and when His second coming would take place and His Kingdom be established. But today we want to pause and consider how we are to live in light of what of what we've been made aware of. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29
All around the world Christians are being persecuted for their faith in Christ. Whether it's being passed over for a promotion at work, being criticized in a college classroom, or your life is being threatened… it can really shake us up. Today on a Daily Walk we'll be encouraged by the example of a church whose faith was growing, their love was abounding, and they exhibited great patience when persecuted!

Have you ever been asleep when you should have been awake? I think we've all been there. Maybe we overslept and missed an important test at school, or an appointment at work! There are also scores of people today that are asleep spiritually speaking. But this is the time to be awake, and waiting for the imminent return of Christ! The day of the Lord is coming, so let's get ready for it today on a Daily Walk. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29
Last time on a Daily Walk we gave our attention to the rapture of the church, the next event on the prophetic calendar… and now today we'll move on to discuss what will follow that. The Bible speaks often of an outpouring of God's judgment… the day of the Lord! And Jesus will then return. Many won't be ready for it, but that doesn't have to be the case for you! Like the Thessalonians we'll hear about today, we can and should live in expectation of the Lord's soon return. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29
We may wonder at times as we look around the world, “Could it get any worse?” It's good to be reminded that Jesus is coming, and if you're a believer you have a glorious future with Him to look forward to. That's the perspective we need to carry through life, no matter how bad things get around us. Pastor John Randall will urge us to live with that understanding.

Maybe like myself, you've had a dear friend or family member who has died and gone on to be with the Lord! While we grieve deeply and miss them dearly, we have a blessed hope to cling to! When a believer dies they're with Jesus and if we're a Christian we'll be reunited one day. Today on a Daily Walk we'll derive great encouragement from First Thessalonians chapter four.

Maybe like many you've wondered, what will the second coming of Christ look like, and when will it occur? The disciples of Christ wondered about that too, and posed a similar question to Jesus.

Sexual immorality is occurring at an alarming rate in the world as we know it. In fact it's becoming a rarity these days for someone to remain pure until marriage. And sexual sin has certainly made its way into the church sad to say. But God's will for us in this area hasn't changed through the years… He wants us to live a life of purity and to enjoy the sexual relationship with our spouse alone. It can be done! Today on a Daily Walk we'll hear about a culture much like our own, and uncover the steps to a God pleasing life. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29
As Christians, we talk a lot about knowing and discovering the will of God, and sometimes it might seem like an elusive target. But God wants us to know His will, and throughout Scripture He defines what it is for us. One such place is First Thessalonians. Part of our daily walk will include hardship. Let's see together where we can find comfort and peace even in hard times. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29
You go to church and hear the preaching of the Word, perhaps attend a small group Bible study in the middle of the week, and have time alone in the Bible too! That's great, but we must not forget to apply what we receive! As James puts it, we're to be doers of the Word. The Thessalonians did that and it left Paul thankful! We'll be encouraged to receive, welcome and appropriate the Word into our lives today on a Daily Walk. Pastor John Randall is in First Thessalonians chapter two.

Each and every day on a Daily Walk we have the great privilege of opening and studying the Word together. But if it stops right there and we don't put shoe leather to it… we've missed out on what it's intended to do and accomplish! Today pastor John Randall points out the Thessalonians response to the Word of God. They received it and welcomed it with open arms, and then applied it. Let's be encouraged to do the same.

Today we'll jump right back into our verse by verse study through the gospel of Matthew. Summer is officially here, and there are signs we look for that tell us it is here, like warmer weather.

If you're a Christian, you're a minister! And no doubt you'd like to be effective in that ministry! I'm happy to say that you can by God's grace. In First Thessalonians two we'll look at how Paul ministered among the Thessalonians, and use that as a model for our own life and ministry!

We continue today our study of First Thessalonians. The church in Thessalonica was young, and impressionable, but also very energetic and eager. We're about to see the apostle Paul commend them for their walk of faith, labor of love, and for their patience of hope. Wouldn't you like to be known for that? You can be, by the grace of God.

On today's program, we'll begin a study based on the book of First Thessalonians. I'm sure you can recall a time in your life when you needed a little encouragement, and a friend or family member was right there to deliver those perfect words at the perfect time. That's exactly Paul's purpose for writing his first letter to the church in Thessalonica. He had several goals in mind and encouragement was on the list as we'll see today. We'll begin at the beginning, as we look at the first several verses of chapter one. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29
We'll be finishing up Colossians, with the apostle Paul's closing comments. In the final few verses of the epistle Paul mentions several people that worked alongside of him. They were near and dear to his heart, and pastor John Randall believes this has a lot to say to us about the importance of people in our lives. We weren't meant to go it alone, in our daily walk.

As you look back a few years to when we were going through Covid, perhaps you've learned a few things about what's really important in life. One thing many of us have discovered is how important it is that we're together! We need to be with others, and God intended it to be that way. That's emphasized in today's message on a Daily Walk, as pastor John Randall is in the closing verses in Colossians.

Has this thought crossed your mind in recent years… “We're getting close to the end?” What does the Bible have to say about the time of the end? Are there signs to be looking for as that day approaches? In chapter twenty-four, Jesus gave some specific signs of His second coming and the end of the age to His disciples. He did this for some very good reasons. He wanted them to be ready, and He wanted them to know the truth, so they would not be deceived by false teachers.

You might be pretty good about praying for others, but do you also ask others to pray for you? Both are important in our daily walk, and we see that modeled for us by the apostle Paul. Today on a Daily Walk pastor John Randall reveals how Paul didn't shy away from asking the church to pray for him and the work of the ministry! And we shouldn't either. Let's turn to Colossians chapter four and take a look at what the conduct and conversation of the Christian should be!

What would you say you're devoted to these days? Would it be entertainment or work and money… or maybe you're family? But how many of us would actually say we're devoted to prayer?
