Greg Gordon : The Church That Would Not Suffer!
Oh! for a call back to apostolic preaching, apostolic power, apostolic praying. We cry out ‘I want apostolic power’ but do we really? Do we want to suffer as they did? Do we want to crown our offering with a tortured bloody martyrdom as they did? Pentecost has a cost. If we are going...

Greg Gordon : Broken And Bruised Yet Not Beaten!
John Cennick was punched in the nose, beaten until his shoulders were black and blue, dunked in a dirty pond, sprayed with ditch water and blackened with musket smoke when he preached. Hecklers tried to drown his voice by beating drums and pans. Or they set dogs barking by swinging...

Matthew 20: 20-34 - Into Thy Word Ministries
Real Greatness is in Serving and Following. This passage is about missing the point. After Jesus explains His path of suffering and the cross, the mother of James and John appeals to Jesus that her sons be given special favor to lead. Perhaps she became fixated on what Jesus taught in...
