The Spirit of God isn't just a vague force, He's a gift from the Father, given through the Son, and He's with us, in us, and working through us. We look into John 14 and 16 and talk about how through the Spirit, we're invited to walk with God, love Him, and love others. And just like Jesus needed the Spirit to live out His mission, so do we.

In his message at TGC's 2009 National Conference, Tim Keller introduces gospel ministry through the lens of 2 Timothy, highlighting the critical but often implicit task of confronting idols. Drawing from Acts 19 and Paul's example, Keller shows how gospel preaching challenges both personal and cultural idols—ranging from money and family to truth and morality—by disrupting the systems built around them. He emphasizes that only the gospel has the power to expose, confront, and ultimately destroy these idols, urging pastors and ministry leaders to apply its truth for genuine transformation.

What does 'mystery' have to do with Paul's ministry? Does it mean that Paul's ministry is somehow mysterious? Does it mean that Paul's ministry is difficult to understand? Not at all! Rather, Paul had the privilege of proclaiming the glorious 'mystery of the gospel of Jesus Christ. But what does that mean? Join us for this episode of Proclaiming Christ as we consider Paul's ministry, the mystery of the gospel, the unsearchable riches of Christ, and what this means for the church today.

Colossians 1:24-2:5

Last Thursday, white smoke came forth from the Sistine Chapel indicating a new pope had been selected. As the smoke rose, the throngs gathered in St. Peter's Square burst forth in cheers. Then the name was revealed. Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, at age 69, had been named the new pope, the first pope to ever come from the United States. His official papal name: Pope Leo XIV. Crowds swelled as the first public appearance was named. So, who exactly is Pope Leo XIV? What is his belief system? Will he point individuals to Jesus Christ as the only way of salvation and Jesus as being the only mediator between God and man or will he be leading followers down the same pathway of deception just as his predecessors?Returning to Crosstalk to bring a biblical perspective concerning this new pope was Mike Gendron. Mike is founder and director of Proclaiming the Gospel Ministry.Mike noted that Pope Leo XIV appears to be very well qualified to run an international organization. He speaks 5 different languages and is well educated with advanced degrees in mathematics and theology. However, is he qualified to be the head of the church that Catholics believe was founded by Jesus Christ? Mike answers that and much more as he explains the following:The historic significance of this new pope's name. Leo XIV called himself a successor to Peter. Is he?Do the Scriptures tell us anywhere about walking with Mary as Pope Leo XIV has communicated? The blasphemous and unscriptural nature of calling a pope "holy." Was the pope biblically incorrect to say that, "...individuals are reborn in the waters of baptism"?Will this pope be conservative or liberal?

This past Monday, worldwide media brought us the news that Pope Francis had died at the age of 88. Network coverage was dominated by this news, with lengthy pieces, hour-long specials and even live streaming showing thousands filing past the body of the Pope. Yet to come is the funeral this Saturday, in St. Peter's Square, outside the basilica where leaders and heads of state from about 170 governments from all over the world will be in attendance. With more on this topic, Crosstalk welcomed Mike Gendron. Mike is the founder and director of Proclaiming the Gospel Ministry. Mike was a devout Roman Catholic for over 3 decades and was taught to rely upon the authority of the church above all else. Mike searched the Scriptures and was amazed to find that what he read contradicted the teaching and tradition of the church he had been a part of for so long. He trusted Jesus as his Savior and now the Bible has become his sole authority in all matters of faith. Mike is the author of the books, Preparing for Eternity and Contending for the Gospel and has produced numerous videos with warnings concerning false teachings vs. the truth of the Scriptures.Pope Francis had a history of false teachings. For example, in May of 2013 he said that atheists would go to heaven if they lead good and honorable lives. In July of that same year, in the context of whether homosexuals could serve in the priesthood, he said that if someone is gay and searches for the Lord and has goodwill, who was he to judge? In November of 2015 he proclaimed that Christians and Muslims are brothers and sisters. In June of 2016 he said that all religions are different paths to the same god.

Based upon the Parable of the Wedding Feast in Matthew 22, Jesus is sending His church to go and reach people who are hesitant to come. The goal of this workshop is to explore and imagine what it's going to take to reach those who are often marginalized or overlooked even by the church. We will take a look at effective & creative strategies to reach everyone with the gospel.     Al Yanno Church Multiplication Director, Ohio Church Multiplication Network

A new MP3 sermon from Puritan Reformed Church is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Approved by God: Gospel Ministry Without Guile Subtitle: 1st Thessalonians Speaker: Brian Schwertley Broadcaster: Puritan Reformed Church Event: Sunday Service Date: 4/13/2025 Bible: 1 Thessalonians 2 Length: 36 min.

In this sermon, Pastor Schwertley exposits 1 Thessalonians 2:1–12, highlighting Paul's sincerity, sacrifice, and pastoral care in gospel ministry. With boldness amid persecution and unwavering commitment to truth, Paul serves not for man's approval but as one entrusted by God. The sermon sharply contrasts biblical ministry with modern pragmatism, warning against flattery, man-pleasing, and worldly compromise. Paul's example is held forth as a pattern for faithful ministers—marked by humility, doctrinal purity, self-denial, and tender affection toward the flock.

If it is essential that the gospel must go out and increase, what are the means of that increase? It can be summarized in the need of gospel ministers who are devoted to the grace of God in the word of truth.

Acts 20:17–24 records Paul's final words to the elders of the church in Ephesus. Standing on the shore, he reflects on his ministry among them, urging them to continue in the example he has set. At the heart of this passage is Paul's deep love for the Lord Jesus, his devotion to the people of God, and his unwavering commitment to the ongoing work of the gospel. In this “Gospel Goodbye,” we hear an echo of what should be the passion of every believer throughout history: 1. A Life of Gospel Service, 2. The Labor of Gospel Ministry, and 3. A Longing for Gospel Reward.

Colossians teaches us that the gospel is not simply a one-time message that get us into heaven or a safety net from hell that we place upon the footnote of our lives. The gospel is a good message of the supremacy of Jesus that saves us, sustains us, and sanctifies us to the very end when we know it, believe it, and apply it to our everyday lives. Colossians shows us how the gospel of Jesus Christ affects and redeems every single aspect of our lives and, when applied, causes us to be growing in the gospel until Jesus comes back again. Join us as we continue Growing in the Gospel together through our study in Colossians this Winter!

Some have pointed to his ecumenical stance. We've seen his coming together with Islam, his praise of Buddhism and promotion of liberation theology. There's his softening of the stance on homosexuality or the relaxing of rules that previously barred men with deep seeded homosexual tendencies from entering the priesthood.Then in December, Pope Francis (who has accused Israel of genocide) prayed before what was called a 'politicized' Palestinian nativity scene as the baby Jesus wasn't wrapped in swaddling clothes, but instead was wearing a keffiyeh, a symbol of Palestinian resistance. Roman Catholicism has a long history of veering from Scripture. There's their false view of Matthew 16:18 from which they derive their origin. There's purgatory, infant baptism for regeneration, transubstantiation, the selling of indulgences, the sinlessness of Mary and so much more. However, now it seems that the Pope is in some ways moving away from church tradition as well.

Acts 14:8-14

Our world pushes the message that we need to lookout for number one. If you've got some money or resources leftover, sure, give that away, but only once you get all of your personal needs and desires. As Pastor Ricky points out in today's message, we see something very different demonstrated in Scripture. The focus is never on self. The focus is on leaning into our Provider in complete faith. When we trust that God will meet all of our needs, we can hold our money and stuff a lot more loosely.

Generosity always stands out in a world that puts itself first. We often see it with a dose of skepticism. We wonder what strings are going to be attached. Well, as Pastor Ricky examines the generosity of the early church in 1 Corinthians, we'll be challenged to increase this aspect of our Christian lives. We've seen far too many cases of corruption in the church throughout the years and we've built up a distrust in how we give but God calls us to give generously, so we need to lean into it with discernment.
