School of Ministry Resources Podcast

Welcome to the School of Ministry Podcast where we examine James 3:5–12, as he uses vivid imagery of fire to show how the tongue—though small—can defile the whole person, spread destruction through gossip and slander, and be influenced by the old nature and the devil. In this remastered episode, we trace Biblical parallels and historical examples to highlight the danger and reach of sinful speech.
Yet the episode also points to hope: the child of God, transformed by the new birth and led by the Holy Spirit, is called to a sanctified tongue that praises God and blesses others, with an invitation to accept Christ to avoid the eternal consequences of a real hell.

Welcome to the School of Ministry Podcast, where this remastered study in James chapter 3, explains how the tongue reveals the heart, why teachers face stricter judgment, and how controlling speech demonstrates true, living faith. Using images like the bit in a horse's mouth and a ship's rudder, the episode shows both the destructive and constructive power of words.
Practical takeaways include preparing carefully before teaching, measuring speech against Scripture, and relying on the Holy Spirit to tame the tongue so words build up rather than tear down.

Welcome to the School of Ministry podcast with this remastered episode, we explore Jesus' teaching about the sparrow to show God's care for the hurting and lonely ones. Using passages from Matthew, Luke, and Psalms, we learn how God notices even the 'odd sparrow' — the marginal, forgotten, and hurting — and our Kind, Gracious God, invites all to anchor their souls in Christ, to find comfort in His care, and share His Love while being a blessing to others.

This episode studies John 21, where the risen Jesus appears at the Sea of Galilee, provides a miraculous catch of 153 fish, and lovingly restores Peter by asking him three times, "Do you love me?"It explores Jesus' restoration and commissioning of Peter to "feed my sheep," the call to deny self and follow Christ, and the practical implications for discipleship and ministry today.

Welcome, in today's message we walk through John 13, 17–19 to show Jesus’ sovereign control from the Last Supper to the cross, portraying Him as both high priest and sacrificial Lamb and showing how prophecy and truth were fulfilled.
The episode challenges listeners to consider who guides their lives and points them to the joy, protection, and victory found in Christ’s finished work.

Welcome to the School of Ministry.  In this episode we explore the Bible story of Naaman, a Syrian commander healed of leprosy after a captive Israelite girl points him to Elisha. Naaman’s journey from pride and anger to humble obedience—dipping seven times in the Jordan—reveals God’s power and grace.
The episode highlights faith over ceremony, the prophet’s refusal of gifts, and Naaman’s struggle with compromise in worship, offering practical lessons on humility, trust, and simple obedience to God.

Welcome to the School of Ministry Podcast where we examine James' instruction that true faith is alive and visible: it produces works as evidence, not to earn salvation but to demonstrate it.
Using Abraham and Rahab as examples, the episode explains how genuine belief is shown by obedience and a transformed life, calling listeners to be doers of the Word and allowing Christ to be seen within the Child of God's life.

Welcome to the School of Ministry podcast, where today's lesson focuses on the establishment of the First Church of Europe as recounted in Acts 16. Join us as we explore the journey of Paul, Silas, and Timothy, who were guided by a vision, known as the 'Macedonian Call' with God's intervening to spread the Good News of Christ in Europe. Witness how a diverse group of believers—including a wealthy businesswoman, a formerly demon-possessed slave girl, and a Roman jailer—came together to form a new church in Philippi. This episode challenges us to see the needs of those around us, love them as God does, and be ready to act when God interrupts our plans. We hope you are encouraged and inspired to embrace the high calling to join the Lord in His work.

Welcome to the School of Ministry podcast, where we journey through the Bible's profound teachings. In this episode, Jesus explains in Luke 16, the compelling narrative of the rich man and Lazarus. This remastered message recounts the story which reveals a stark contrast between eternal life and eternal death (separated from God).  We see the comfort and torment, highlighting the eternal consequences of earthly actions in either accepting Christ as Savior or rejecting Him.
As we navigate through these Biblical insights, we are reminded of the sufficiency and power of the Word of God in our lives and the profound importance of living a life aligned with God's simple and divine truths. Join us as we reflect on these timeless lessons that prompt critical self-examination and spiritual growth.

Welcome to School of Ministry Podcast.  In this episode we examine James 2:14-20.  This remastered message picks up with James teaching that faith produces action.  He is clear that we are not saved through our good works, but that our good works follow our coming to faith in Jesus Christ.  
James also expands on showing partiality, which he spoke of before, and how our new life in Christ should help us have compassion just as the Lord has shown compassion, love and mercy to us.  Join us for this challenging lesson that is so pertinent to our day!
