Guidelines for Pray-ers
During a worship service, group meeting or a personal conversation someone brings to your attention a need for which they want prayer. Here are some things I would like you to know.
Spiritual Confidence
A call to live with the settled assurance that comes from knowing who we are in Christ. Drawing from Hebrews 10:19–25, this message shows how Jesus gives believers a clean conscience, a secure identity, and full access to God’s presence. With humor, testimony, and down-to-earth teaching, it reveals how true spiritual confidence produces boldness before God, clarity in our witness, and commitment to the community that shapes us. Listeners are invited to move beyond uncertainty, anchor themselves in God’s promises, and embrace the courageous, steady life that grows from confidence in Christ.
2 | Biblical Leadership
This session explores the core character of a biblical leader and the posture needed to carry influence well. Through Scripture and practical insight, the teaching highlights humility, repentance, dependence on the Holy Spirit, and a willingness to be formed by God before being used by Him. Leadership is framed not as position, but as the overflow of a life shaped by Christ.

7 | The Book Hebrews
Hebrews 10 gathers the major themes of the book into one concentrated appeal: since Jesus’ sacrifice truly cleanses and grants access to God, His people are urged to draw near, hold fast and remain faithful. Strong warnings sit beside heartfelt encouragement, capturing both the gravity of falling away and the hope available through perseverance in Christ.

Leadership Development and Multiplication
A clear, practical framework for developing and multiplying leaders in the local church. Drawing from Scripture and real ministry experience, it outlines why teams matter, what qualities to look for in emerging leaders, and how to cultivate character, skill, and spiritual maturity. The framework provides tools for mentoring, apprenticeship, coaching conversations, and “just in time” training, helping leaders grow through real responsibility rather than theory alone.

Keeping Our Ego Out of the Equation | Session 9
Through Scripture and personal reflection, participants learn how comparison, self promotion, and fear of failure can distort prophetic ministry. The teaching highlights Moses as an example of prophetic meekness and calls believers to become people who draw attention to Jesus rather than themselves. The session invites learners to embrace a posture that serves others and reflects the heart of God.
Final Greetings | Colossians | Session 9
Colossians closes with what looks like a simple list of greetings, but beneath it is a glimpse into how the kingdom advances—through ordinary people faithfully doing life and ministry together. Paul reminds us that the gospel is always expanding, and we each have a part in that, whether we’re praying, speaking with wisdom, or watching for openings that God creates. He also shows us the beauty of team: unlikely people, restored people, new leaders, seasoned leaders—all knit together for God’s purposes. And tucked inside his final words is a personal charge we all need to hear: see to it that you fulfill the ministry Jesus has given you. Not someone else’s calling—yours. Paul signs off with one last reminder of grace, and it’s the right place to end: everything God asks of us can only be lived by His grace at work in us.
