The words from which I wish to speak to you, you will find in i Corinthians ii. 4, 5: And my... preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God." The Apostle speaks of two kinds of preaching, and, as resulting from that, of two styles of religious life in the congregation. There is a preaching in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, and there is a preaching in the wisdom of words. As a result of preaching in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, the...

Shepherding a congregation comes with many responsibilities. In addition to preparing weekly sermons, pastors manage church teams and minister to a variety of people with different needs. Attempting to tackle these roles separately can be exhausting and may eventually affect the health of the church. How should leaders integrate their roles to effectively shepherd their congregations?

Former seasoned pastor, Christopher Ash, urges church members to think about pastors not just in terms of what they do, how they lead and pray and preach and teach and so on, but also about who they are. He encourages us to remember that pastors are people and to pray for them as they serve us. Paradoxically, caring for our pastor will be a blessing to us as well as to them, and create a culture of true fellowship in our church family.

What was it like to be a woman in the biblical period? It depended, in part, on who you were: a queen, a judge, a primary wife, a secondary wife, a widow, a slave, or some other kind of "ordinary woman". In Women in the Bible, Jaime Clark-Soles investigates how women are presented in Scripture, taking into account cultural views of both ancient societies as well as our own. Most of Christendom still excludes women from religious leadership, and many Christians invoke the Bible to circumscribe women's leadership in the public square and in the home as well.

You’re not just dreaming. You’re under attack. That strange intimacy in your sleep. The invisible pressure on your chest at night. The constant fear of marriage or the repeated destruction of every relationship you try to build. This is not normal. This is spirit marriage. In The Reality of Spirit Marriage, Prayer Madueke uncovers one of the most sinister operations of the marine kingdom, demonic soul ties through spirit husbands and wives. These demonic agents enter lives through dreams, ancestral pacts, occult initiation, or sexual sin, and once they’re in, they ruin everything. ...

These brief meditations have been collected from the third volume of Francis Grimké's Works, entitled Stray Thoughts and Meditations, a diary written over the last 25 years of his life. Grimké's thoughts on preaching display his gospel-centered piety, his wisdom, and his experience of eventually fifty years of pulpit ministry.

If you are speaking across generations, you need to understand how different generations hear. Pastor Darrell Hall (a millennial) harnesses the insights of generational science to explore how generations are distinct people groups with their own cultures and languages. With fresh research from the Barna Group on how generations communicate, Hall sheds light on how each generation receives verbal messages, from boomers and Xers to millennials and Gen Z and those not yet named.
