Jesus came down to earth with one mission, to seek and to save the lost. Amazingly, he called men to follow Him so that he could equip them to participate in His mission. He was not calling them to join an organization, embrace a strategy or to promote a brand. He was calling them to follow Him. Christ is still extending this call to you and me. Wi…

The church in Antioch of Syria gained the reputation for sending out missionaries to the uttermost parts of the earth. This was the Apostle Paul’s sending church.

Where do you turn when life is unraveling? Last week we learned how Jeremiah was ministering to the people Judah, the southern kingdom, in the final 40 years before destruction and the captivity in Babylon (586bc).

Jeremiah was ordained by God to be a prophet to the people of Judah (southern kingdom) while he was in his mother’s womb. His calling would not be easy and in the eyes of man, not successful.
