Trumpet for God Ministries

What is the most effective way to share our faith? Is Bible thumping the best method to share the Gospel or does the Bible actually teach us to approach this differently? In this lesson we will discuss the example shown by Barnabas and the ensuing result of his approach. We are heading to Antioch today during the years of Christian persecution. Stephen has been killed and other Jewish Christians are fleeing Jerusalem in droves to avoid the same fate.

No! We are not talking about a classic Manfred Mann's Earth Band song, but one of the most  prominant Christian conversions in the entire New Testament. Christ captured the heart and devoted allegiance of the most aggressive persecutor, and enslaver of Christians in the world at that time. We will walk through Acts 9 and see the lessons we can apply to our own lives, such as how God wants more than a distant friendship, but an up close and personal eternal relationship that will never end.

Acts 8:26-40 details how God worked through a believer named Phillip to convert an Ethiopian man. It's so easy at times to live in our own little comfort zones, but many times God may have work for us to do that we should desire to be a part of. Phillip's action will teach us how we should always be ready to go when God calls. We will take some time to learn how God speaks to us and in what mode of communication.

Whats so important about reading the Bible in our Christian life? In this brief segment Steve recounts the last minutes of his mother's life as he watched her take her last few breaths. We will learn how the Bible is the Christian's sustaining breath and without it we die a slow spiritual death... This is taken from a lesson taught in by Steve in 2007.

One of the hardest parts of our lives is living through and coping with difficult circumstances. How can one continue to see God's bigger plan when we can't seem to see past the end of our noses? In this lesson we will spend some time learning how God uses all of our circumstances to fulfill a bigger picture that we don't see. One of my favorite quotes is "We cannot control our circumstances, but we can control the way we react to our circumstances."
