ETC Ministries

You are commanded to be strong and courageous. Don't be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord your God is with you everywhere you go. Facing challenges is inevitable, but leaning on the Lord will see you through. He calls us, works within and through us, and will never leave or forsake us.

Are you waiting to be 'good enough' for faith? Jesus calls sinners to repentance. Like the man with leprosy and Levi, recognizing your need for a doctor is the first step. If you think you're well, you won't seek healing.

The flesh craves destruction, while the Spirit leads to life. Understanding this constant battle between what God desires and what our own flesh wants is crucial. Choosing to walk by the Spirit means engaging in this fight.

Have you felt God's calling but hesitated? He's appointed us to know Him, hear Him, and share His love with the world. Don't let delay hold you back from His purpose.

Understand the contrast between walking by the Spirit and living by the flesh. The flesh desires what is against the Spirit, and our natural bent isn't always to walk in the Spirit. Choose to be led by the Spirit.

Belonging to Christ means crucifying the flesh and its desires. When the Spirit controls your life, you exude love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Live by the Spirit and keep in step with it.

What memorials do you have for your children to ask about? The Israelites had Passover to remember God's greatness. How does your family or church commemorate His works? Consider creating a rock altar, writing down memories of God's movement in your lives.

Witness the first purposeful sending of missionaries, directly prompted by the Holy Spirit. This powerful moment in Acts highlights the enduring need for the church to pray, listen, and immediately obey the Spirit's calling, even in the 21st century.

In Rio during the Olympics, a simple question to a man on a stool led to sharing the gospel. He wished for happiness, and through a divine appointment, he found it in Jesus Christ.

If you knew Jesus was returning soon, what would you do? The answer is simple: continue what God has called you to do today. Be faithful in your present calling, ready for His return, not by waiting idly, but by living out His will right where you are.
