A Warm Invitation to Church

Matthew 4:19 (And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.) “I do not care if you ever darken the doors of my church.” I would often say this to folks I am sharing the gospel with. My wife Jay did not like the tone of that statement and asked me to stop saying it. Tone aside, however, I mean it. I first said it to a person who accused me of evangelizing because I want more people to come to my church so offerings can increase. Our youth pastor lamented in a recent sermon, “We invite folks to a location rather than to the Person of Jesus Christ. That captures perfectly what I have felt all along.

Ravi Zacharias and Accountability for Ministry Leaders

Episode 34

When Ravi Zacharias died he left a devastating web of abused women, betrayed friends and family, and disappointed Christians in his wake. Posthumous investigations brought to the limelight his secret life of unrepentant sin, and for millions of professing Christians, hindsight became 20/20 as they tried to pick up the pieces. What did we miss? How should we respond? How can we be more vigilant moving forward?

Pastor Todd helps us tackle these questions and more on this episode of the Removing Barriers podcast.

Brendon, How Were Your Barriers Removed?

This blog has been permanently relocated to https://www.removingbarriers.net Redirecting in seconds...  Episode 10 Series: How Were Your Barriers Removed - 1 In this episode of the Removing Barriers podcast we started a monthly series called How Were Your Barriers Removed? In these episodes we will be discovering what barriers prevented our guests from coming to a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ and how those barriers were eventually removed. You will meet Brendon in this episode. Even though he was raised in a “Christian” home, it was not until his early 20’s that he saw his own sinfulness, repented, and trusted Jesus as his savior. We ended the episode with Brendon sharing the gospel. The same gospel that saved him is the same gospel that will save you.

Nika Holbert: A Soul for which Christ Died

This blog has been permanently relocated to https://www.removingbarriers.net Redirecting in seconds... Episode 35 In this episode of the Removing Barriers Podcast, we discussed the shooting incident involving Nika Holbert and officer Baker.  Rather than focusing on facts versus misinformation, or even on who was right or wrong based on those facts, we focused on the human beings involved. Human life is precious. So precious, in fact, that God sent His only begotten Son to die for us. In this episode we addressed the calloused comments made about Nika, the dangers of looking at the facts and neglecting the human being behind the facts, the cultural aspects that may lead to people like Nika, what things can be done to reach folks like Nika, and what she should represent to Bible believing Christians.
