School of Ministry Resources Podcast

The Apostle Paul, in Philippians 1:3–5, thanks God for the believers and prays for them, giving us a model that prioritizes spiritual needs over material ones. The episode explores how joy, fellowship, and partnership in the gospel sustain Children of God, even amid trials.
Using the example of the Philippian Church and Epaphroditus, the lesson encourages believers to grow in intercessory prayer, mutual support, and the joy of the Spirit.

In this episode (remastered) we conclude our study through James.  We examine James 5:19-20 about rescuing those who have strayed from the truth—calling believers to examine evidence of genuine faith, reach out in love, and bring sinners back to salvation.
The lesson emphasizes personal responsibility in the ministry of reconciliation, the danger of spiritual drifting, and the eternal stakes of saving a soul from death.

This episode walks through Mark 5:1–20, recounting Jesus’ encounter with the demon-possessed man known as "Legion," His authority over evil spirits, and power to change the man’s mind, body and spirit.
The message highlights Christ’s compassion, the community’s reaction, and how the healed man becomes a powerful witness, showing how one testimony can spread the gospel.

This (remastered) episode walks through James 5:13–18, explaining how prayer, openness, and the ministry within the Lord's Churches brings spiritual restoration and refreshment to believers.
Using Elijah as an example, this message emphasizes earnest, faithful intercession, the cultural meaning of anointing with oil, and the importance of mutual honesty and prayer within the church for renewal and strength.

Welcome to School of Ministry Podcast where we examine 1 Samuel 23 and Psalm 27 about David’s darkest days, his flight from Saul, and the timely encouragement Jonathan brings. The episode explores how Biblical encouragement strengthens faith, points hearts to God, and empowers people to face fear and hardship.
Listeners are shown how David learned to "strengthen his hand in the Lord," how true friends like Jonathan and Barnabas model faithful support, and how we can both receive and be encouragers rooted in Christ.  (Remastered)

Welcome to School of Ministry Podcast where we now examine (remastered) James 5:12 about honesty in speech: Christians should avoid swearing by heaven, earth, or other oaths and simply let their "yes" be yes and their "no" be no. The episode explains the historical and Biblical background of oaths, examples from Scripture, and Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 5.
The message calls listeners to examine their hearts and speech as a test of living faith, warns of the consequences of habitual deceit, and points to repentance and genuine transformation in Christ as our only hope.

The Apostle Paul’s brief greeting in Philippians 1:2 opens a powerful lesson: God’s unmerited, abounding grace comes first and produces true peace with Christ. The episode contrasts fleeting happiness with deep, Christ‑rooted joy, explains grace as God’s undeserved favor, and shows peace as the reconciliation secured by Christ’s sacrifice.
Through stories like John Newton’s transformation and biblical examples, the teaching emphasizes that grace precedes every blessing and that trusting God brings peace even in hard times — a hope that sustains believers now and into eternity.

Welcome to School of Ministry where today we examine James 5:7–11 (remastered), on how believers should endure suffering by anticipating Christ’s return, remembering God’s judgment, and following the example of the prophets and Job.
The episode outlines practical reasons for patience—hope in the Lord, fear of judgment, the model of faithful servants, promised blessing for endurance, God’s refining purpose in trials, and the compassion and mercy of God.

The Apostle Paul along with Timothy writes to the Church in Philippi from prison, recalling the unlikely beginning of the Church— with Lydia, a wealthy merchant, a former demon-possessed slave girl, and a converted jailer—and the ways God united them.
The episode explores Philippians 1:1, focusing on Paul’s identity as a bondservant of Christ, the Biblical meaning of “saints,” and the roles of pastors and deacons. We see the practical application about serving Christ rather than seeking human approval.
Listeners are encouraged to reflect on their own standing in Christ, our calling to serve Him, and the lesson concludes with an invitation to examine our lives for the Lord.

Hello and welcome — you’ve tuned in to the School of Ministry Podcast.  In this episode we examine James 4:13–17, warning against planning and boasting without God, exposing pride, presumption, and sins of omission.  God's Word explains the brevity of life—"you are a vapor"—and urges believers to make God central in their plans by saying, "If the Lord wills."
This episode also outlines practical steps for living God’s will: receiving Christ as personal Savior, scriptural baptism, discipleship, and daily submission to God’s authority, encouraging listeners to seek and obey God rather than rely on self.
