Another year of the Preacher Training Program here at Samaria has concluded. What a wonderful week it was! We had 22 students who came from seven different states (TN, FL, WV, OH, NC, WA, and IN) to take part in the classes. They studied hard throughout the week as they were being taught how to do “the work of an evangelist” (2 Tim. 4:5). Additionally, they did an excellent job presenting a sermon on Wednesday Continue reading Reflections On Preacher Training – 7/16/17
“I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom: Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.

Perhaps you have heard someone argue, “I have a talent to play an instrument, so surely the Lord would want me to use this talent in worshipping Him.” The thought behind such a statement is this: if I have the ability to play a mechanical instrument and the Lord wants me to use my talents in His service, then God Continue reading I Have A Talent To Play – 5/21/17
Our Lord Himself taught, “But you, do not be called ‘Rabbi’; for One is your Teacher, the Christ, and you are all brethren. Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven. And do not be called teachers; for One is your Teacher, the Christ” (Matt. 23:8-10).

This article serves as a brief survey of the Scripture covered recently in our daily Bible reading – the last four books of the Pentateuch. The interwoven messages, penned by Moses, are of great benefit to us – offering learning, comfort, and hope (cf. Rom. 15:4; 1 Cor. 10:1-11).
Exodus: Exodus means Continue reading The Last Four Books Of Moses – 3/19/17
There are few doctrines of the Bible maligned in the religious world today like the doctrine of baptism. So many reject its necessity and significance. However, instead of listening to those who would deny the Scripture, let us let our Lord, through His word, tell us what baptism does. What Continue reading What Baptism Does – 2/12/17
