Introduction Our church theme this year hangs on the wall behind me. Our theme is the gospel and this them is two pronged according to Romans 1:16 . The gospel is a message of hope. The gospel is a message with power. The hope and the power comes from Jesus Christ our Savior. Paul speaks the gospel with…

Today, many people talk about social justice, but not every vision of justice reflects the way of Jesus. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef points believers back to the Biblical foundation of true justice: God owns everything, and His people are called to manage what He has entrusted to them for His glory. Our bodies, money, possessions, time, and gifts do not ultimately belong to us. We are stewards—managers serving God and His Kingdom. When we resist giving to Gospel ministry, it may reveal that we have not yet experienced the joy of stewardship or that we still believe our possessions are truly ours. Dr. Youssef reminds us that citizens of God's Kingdom are called to die to self and live for Christ. True generosity does not come from guilt, pressure, or compulsion. It flows from understanding the incredible inheritance we have in Christ and trusting that our reward is in heaven. Paul modeled this surrendered life when he said, “I have made myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible.” He gave God command over his body, time, money, words, gifts, and life for the sake of the Gospel. When God takes hold of everything we have, we stop clinging to our “fair share” and begin living out His loving purposes for the blessing of others and the glory of Christ. Prayer: Lord, help me to be a good steward, completely focused on Your Kingdom mission so that many might come to You and grow in faith as You grow mine. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.  “Though I am free and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible” (1 Corinthians 9:19). Learn more in Dr. Michael A.

Sunday Service // Corey Williams // Colossians 2:1-5 

Matthew 4:23-25

Join the Taos First Baptist Church family for the ordination of Luca D. Welch to the Gospel Ministry

The sermon emphasizes the critical need for faithful preachers of the gospel within the denomination, drawing primarily from Paul's words in Acts 20:24. It outlines four essential characteristics of such a minister: a divine call from darkness to light, unwavering commitment despite trials, a specific calling to minister the Word, and a deep concern for testifying to God's grace. The speaker argues that congregations require ministers who are set apart by God and willing to endure suffering for the sake of the message. Historical examples of Scottish martyrs and the Free Church split illustrate the high cost and value of faithful preaching. Ultimately, the text asserts that the presence of a called preacher is the greatest blessing a congregation can receive.

Followers of Christ are sent as priestly ministers as we rely on God's power. We plan diligently, pray fervently, but ultimately submit to God's providential will. We are called to personally invest in one another and protect the pure gospel. The post Rescued, Part 22: Marks of Gospel Ministry appeared first on Reston Bible Church.

The Aim of Gospel Ministry. The Atmosphere of Gospel Ministry.

Pastor Fred Neal preaches through 1 Corinthians 9:1-18.

The question is not whether Steven Spielberg knows some classified secret about aliens living among us. The question is why the culture keeps being pushed, decade after decade, toward the same conclusion: mankind is not alone, mankind is being watched, mankind is being prepared, and at some appointed moment a hidden truth will be unveiled to the entire world. The Bible believer already knows mankind is not alone. But what is watching this world is not benevolent space brothers from a distant galaxy. It is a fallen spiritual kingdom, working behind the scenes, preparing this present evil world for the arrival of Antichrist. That's the bad news, but we also have some very, very Good News to share as well.“Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,” 2 Thessalonians 2:9 (KJB)On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, Spielberg's Disclosure Day may be fiction, but fiction has always been one of the Devil's favorite testing grounds. It lets him introduce ideas before they are implemented. It lets him normalize the unthinkable. It lets him train generations to respond emotionally before they ever have to respond doctrinally. So no, this movie is not proof that aliens are among us. But yes, it is another loud signal that the world is being conditioned for something. The language of disclosure, revelation, contact, proof, and global truth is now everywhere. The world is not being prepared to meet “aliens.” It is being prepared to receive a counterfeit revelation that will draw men further away from the truth of the King James Bible and deeper into the coming kingdom of Antichrist. That makes the question this. How should the Bible Believer live in a time when all these things are going on? The answer is simple. We are to do the Lord's work of preaching, teaching and evangelizing with the gospel until He comes to get us. Whenever that may be. Towards that end, on this program, we will also be announcing the launch of ‘Operation:Africa!' that began this week, and share with you the amazing new door that the Lord has opened for us with the Gospel Ministry on the African continent.

Listen to Pastor David's sermon, "Taking Pains in Gospel Ministry," on 2 Corinthians 6:1-13.

Main Point. God uses faithful gospel ministry to build his church. Driving Question. So what does a faithful gospel ministry look like? Paul gives three vivid pictures of faithful gospel the minister. 1. The Courageous Steward (1–6) Two Tests of Gospel Stewardship: A. Speaking to please God, not man (vv.4–5). B. Seeking God's glory, not yours (v.6). 2. The Caring Mother (7–8) 3. The Consistent Father (9–12) Takeaways. (Ordinary Gospel minister must): Accept Conflict (v.2). Live Sacrificially (vv.5–8). Proclaim Christ Clearly (vv.4, 9).

Our passage is a Gospel Ministry Primer. From what Paul wrote to Timothy, we can observe and apply principles which Paul practiced, which he wanted Timothy to follow, and which God intends for us to follow as well. 1 - Know Whom You Have Believed (12) 2 - Preach What You Have Received (13) 3 - Guard The Treasure Entrusted (14) 4 - Expect Some To Disappoint (15) 5 - Rejoice That Some Encourage (16-18)

“True Gospel Ministry” Colossians 1:24-29 April 26, 2026 Pastor Nathan Currey  Sermon Application [file]   ----more---- Colossians 1:24-29 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in Christ's afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church, [25] of which I became a minister according to the stewardship from God that was given to me for you, to make the word of God fully known, [26] the mystery hidden for ages and generations but now revealed to his saints. [27] To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. [28] Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ. [29] For this I toil, struggling with all his energy that he powerfully works within me. True Gospel Ministry must proclaim Christ, the hope of glory        •  Expect Suffering        •  Make God's Word known         •  The Struggle is Real

The Gospel of John

The church is called to a global ministry of the Word and prayer. Where do we start? Pastor Colin talks about how this kind of ministry advances in the world.

How does God impact the world through prayer? Pastor Colin talks about how God intends to bring change in the world, not through government, but through prayer.

Acts 17:1-15

Paul's ministry pattern in Colossians 1:28-29 highlights three key elements for faithful Christian living. First, we must proclaim Christ himself, not our own opinions or wisdom. Second, our aim should be helping everyone grow toward spiritual maturity, not settling for spiritual infancy. Third, although ministry requires hard work and struggle, our strength must come from Christ's power working within us, not our own efforts. This pattern applies to all believers in parenting, work relationships, and daily discipleship. We must avoid both laziness and self-reliance, working diligently while relying completely on God for results.

Preaching the gospel and making disciples is not just handing out a pamphlet with the gospel message. You're to allow unbelievers to see the gospel demonstrated through your lifestyle, as well as the preaching of the Word. Are you laboring for the sake of those that are appointed unto salvation? Pastor Ricky will be teaching on what laboring for the sake of God's elect looks like. It's not always easy ministering to unbelievers, but you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you.

Today Pastor Ricky will be teaching on having the proper priorities in our Christian walk. Are you busy doing the good works that God has ordained you to accomplish? If the enemy can't get you to fall into sin, he will keep you busy doing good things but not the good things that God wants you to be focused on at the time. The quality of your work is much better than having quantity. The Lord desires you to use your spiritual gifts to further the kingdom and preach the gospel.

Cooperation is at the heart of being a Southern Baptist. And with over 46,000 churches across our country, state conventions are critical in mobilizing and supporting pastors and ministry leaders in each state. That's why at the ERLC, we seek to come alongside these state directors and the churches they serve. On today's episode, you'll hear from Thomas Hammond, executive director of the Georgia Baptist Mission Board, as he shares with ERLC Interim President Dr. Gary Hollingsworth about how Georgia Baptists are equipping churches to reach their families, friends, and coworkers with the gospel all across the state. Out of the 11.5 million people who live in Georgia, roughly 7 million don't have a relationship with Jesus. That's why, as Thomas says, Georgia Baptists see pastors as heroes, churches as the priority, and their state as the mission field.He'll also talk about the encouraging growth they're seeing across Georgia—from baptisms and church attendance to giving in local churches.Prior to becoming the executive director of the Georgia Baptist Mission Board, Thomas served as lead pastor of Alpharetta First Baptist Church. He is a graduate of Augusta State University in Augusta, Georgia as well as Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary in Memphis, Tennessee. He is married to Kerri and they have two daughters. Listen to more episodes of The ERLC Podcast at erlc.com/podcast.

2 Corinthians 5:11-6:2 - Speaker: Lukus Counterman - In 2 Corinthians 5, Paul explains his rationale for not losing heart in the face of adversity. He reasons that even if death overtakes him, the great Victor will raise him up and give him a glorified body. That is a far superior option in Paul's mind. But as he waits, he continues to engage in gospel ministry. He wants his motives to be right and his message to be right. So, as we continue looking into God's word this weekend, may we be ambassadors and fellow workers for his glory. May we proclaim a message of good news until our last breath.
