Hello and welcome. You've tuned in to the School of Ministry podcast. In this episode we unfold the parable of the wedding feast from Matthew 22:1–14, explaining its historical setting, the rejection of Israel, God’s judgment, the gathering of new guests, and the necessity of Christ’s righteousness.

This episode walks through the parable’s scenes—invitation, rebellion, re-invitation to all people, and the warning about coming without the wedding garment—showing how the kingdom of heaven invites, judges, and clothes its guests with Christ’s righteousness.

Welcome to the School of Ministry podcast, where, in this remastered message from James 4:11 and 12, we examine how we have a love problem when we chose sin.  Our love problem is evident in our daily life, when we think we know better than God's Word.  This episode looks at the problem of slander and its harmful effects.  

The message also considers the 10 Commandments through the lens of our love for God.  When we follow God's Word, and correct ourselves, this is the remedy to our love problem.  Without knowing Jesus Christ as Savior, having the new birth, all this is impossible on our own.

Welcome to  School of Ministry podcast where we examine 2 Peter 2:4-9 and Genesis 18–19 to warn Christians about becoming "used to the dark" in this remastered message.  Using Lot and Sodom as examples, we are called, as believers to resist cultural compromise, protect their families from ungodly influence, and shine the light of Christ in increasingly dark times.

The episode contrasts Lot's compromised faith with Christ's truth and challenges listeners to return to bold, clear Biblical witness rather than quiet conformity.

Welcome to the School of Ministry podcast where we walk through James 4:7–10 (in this remastered episode), unpacking the ten imperative commands that call listeners to examine their faith, repent of pride and worldliness, and receive God’s abundant grace.

The episode contrasts proud professors with humble possessors of faith, explains the steps of submission and repentance, and encourages both seekers and believers to draw near to God for true, transforming salvation.

Welcome to the School of Ministry podcast where we examine 1 Chronicles 12:32 and Matthew 16 to teach how to discern the times.  This message contrasts the Pharisees' legalism and the Sadducees' modernism, and pointing to the sign of Jonah as the essential message of Christ’s death and resurrection.

The episode urges spiritual discernment, practical application of Scripture, and a call to live by grace, reminding listeners that now is the day of salvation and encouraging active faith in a world of misleading philosophies.

Welcome to part 2 as we explore Psalms 22–24, (in this reworked message), showing Christ’s work from sacrifice to intercession to coronation. We see Psalm 23 as the Good Shepherd who provides, restores, and protects, and Psalm 24 as the triumphant King of glory.

This episode highlights God’s daily care, new life through Christ, and the promise of eternal fellowship for His children, while inviting listeners to reflect on the Lord’s presence and the offer of eternal life.

Welcome to the School of Ministry podcast where we walk listeners through Psalms 22–24 as a single unit, showing in this first part, how Psalm 22 prophetically describes Christ’s suffering, crucifixion, and ultimate victory. The episode highlights themes of abandonment, scorn, solitude, spiritual assault, bodily suffering, and the shift from prayer to praise at the resurrection.

The lesson connects ancient prophecy to the New Testament, explains vivid imagery such as the “scarlet worm,” and invites listeners to reflect on the redeeming work of Christ and how the Bible speaks to our need for salvation today.

Welcome to the School of Ministry podcast where we explore Psalm 131.  Consider how David teaches how humility and childlike trust, accompanied with surrender of our lives will help overcome pride, unhealthy ambition, and attitudes of our heart.

The episode encourages believers to hope in the Lord, grow in spiritual maturity, and trust God’s timing and purposes.

Welcome to the School of Ministry podcast, where we now examine James chapter 4, verse 1-6, which shows how worldly desires—lust, envy and pride—fuel internal battles, church conflicts, and separation from God. James explains that friendship with the world leads to turmoil both within the person and among believers.

The episode urges listeners to examine their hearts, repent, ask God with humble motives, and rely on God’s grace to replace worldliness with true, peaceful faith.

Welcome to the School of Ministry episode (remastered), on the life of Thomas, often mislabeled "Doubting Thomas," showing him instead as a deeply loyal, grieving disciple. From John's Gospel,  chapters 10–20, the episode retells the raising of Lazarus, Thomas’s despair at Christ’s death, his honest demand for proof, and his moving confession, "My Lord and my God."

The message emphasizes Jesus’s patient restoration, Thomas’s later mission and martyrdom, and practical encouragement for believers facing fear and uncertainty today.
