The Job of the Disciple

September 30, 2024 by Ken Yates in Blog - Disciple, Humility, John the Baptist, Mark 6:12-13, Mark 6:30-43

In Mark 6:12-13, Jesus sends the twelve disciples to the nation of Israel. It would have been very exciting to be a part of that group. They preached the same message that John the Baptist and the Lord had preached. Jesus was the Christ. Those who believed in Him for it would receive eternal life.

Many of us played on a sports team when we were younger. My favorite sport was basketball, and I was on a team throughout my high school years. There were a couple of things that stood out for all of us who played. I think that even a casual fan would observe the same things.

The Arrogance of Lordship Salvation (2 Corinthians 13:5)

April 3, 2024 by Ken Yates in Blog - Humility, Luke 18:9-14, pride, Works

I recently heard a sermon by a proponent of Lordship Salvation. His name is not important because what he said applies to any proponent of that theology who speaks on the topic of eternal salvation.

The Christmas Manger (Luke 2:7)

December 18, 2023 by Ken Yates in Blog - Caesar, Humility, Rom 12:3, Theophilus

We are all familiar with the fact that Jesus was placed in a manger after He was born. I think most of us think of a small wooden structure in which owners of animals would place hay for those animals to eat. Church tradition tells us that Jesus was born in a cave and that

These men had shown extraordinary courage in the face of danger during our country’s wars. As cadets, we were incredibly busy. We went to class,
