Journey Through Nehemiah
Overview: There is work to do in our homes, churches, and nation. Sin’s work is destruction; God’s work is construction. In Nehemiah, we learn the principles of building up that which has been broken down. Listen To An Overview Of Nehemiah: Journey Through Nehemiah One of the buzzwords in our day is leadership. Now, whether you’re a Christian or not, you can walk into any bookstore and find a huge section of books written on the subject of leadership.…

You Can Know!
Full Audio Series: There are many things I do not know. I cannot predict what Washington will do tomorrow. We do not know what Wall Street will do this week. Only the Lord knows what world governments will do this year. Life is full of unknowns, and the most troubling are the ones that affect you personally. In fact, there are many things that are simply unknowable because of our limited understanding and finite minds. Education, information, and intuition can…

What Happened to Evening Church Meetings?
What Happened to Evening Church Meetings? Sunday evening and midweek meetings of the local church have fallen on hard times. In many places, they are comprised of a few people scattered in a mostly empty auditorium or huddled together in a small room. Dwindling congregations in the midst of an ever exploding world population. Where is everyone? Modern Christianity has devolved into soothing our consciences for a few moments in the morning and treating the rest of the day like…

Journey Through Exodus
Listen to An Overview of Exodus Journey Through Exodus “Redeemed, how I love to proclaim it. Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb. Redeemed through his infinite mercy, his child, and forever I am.” These words were written by Fanny Crosby long ago. We love to sing them. But where can you find that truth of redemption? There is a scarlet cord woven throughout the entire Word of God. Perhaps the fullest teaching is found in the New Testament book…

The Voice: Our ETJ Host and A Brand New Podcast Announcement!

Greg now pastors a vibrant church,…

7 Ingredients for Fruitful Bible Study
7 Ingredients for Fruitful Bible Study Bible sales have soared in recent days. Though the Bible has historically led book sales worldwide, there is a renewed interest in our generation. People are looking for answers. Surely there has to be more. Indeed, there is! Men and movements, religions and rulers have come and gone, but the Word has continued. God promised it would. Still, there remains a pervasive biblically illiteracy and spiritual ignorance. Satan himself knows well how to take…

Partnering with Pastors
Partnering with Pastors Evangelists and Pastors have different assignments but they are in the same ministry. Ephesians 4 says that God gave “some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.” All of God’s preachers are to preach the same gospel and have the same goal. Pastors are to “do the work of an evangelist” (2 Timothy 4:6). Evangelists are servants who…

Journey Through Romans
Summary of Romans: Coleridge called it “the most profound book in existence.” Agoday called it “the Cathedral of the Christian Faith.” Martin Luther called it “the chief part of the New Testament and the very purest gospel.” And Irving Jensen called it “Paul’s masterpiece.” The 16 chapters of Romans comprise the deepest, clearest, and most rigorous teaching on the doctrine of salvation. Read it for yourself and you will understand why God gave us this powerful book. Listen to An…

Keep Your Windows Open!
“Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime” (Daniel 6:10). The decree was clear that no one was to pray for 30 days. Daniel goes to his room, opens his window toward Jerusalem, and prays. He did not open his window so others…

The Right View of Scripture
In John Bunyan’s classic book, Pilgrim’s Progress, Christian was on a journey to that Celestial City. As believers, we’re all on a journey with the Lord Jesus Christ. He’s our constant companion. Along this journey, the Lord wants to teach us. How does He teach us? He teaches us by His Spirit and through His Word. God reveals Himself on pages of Holy Scripture. The Inspiration of Every Word Do you have a favorite book in the Bible? My favorite…

What Does the Bible Say?
What Does the Bible Say? It is impossible to get the right answer when you are asking the wrong question! Our world is full of issues that must be addressed, but it is imperative that we know where to go for direction and how to make decisions. In an age of relativism we must return to the absolute truth of God’s Word. Too often the question is… What do most people think? What do I feel is right? What will…

A Daughter, A Sister, A Helper
Lauren Pauley There is a double blessing when your children come to know Christ – they become family twice! A son becomes a brother, and a daughter becomes a sister. Lauren is our middle child and, like all of our children, it has been a blessing to her mother and me to watch her grow in the faith. After graduating from Crown College, she served on the staff of Camp CoBeAc in Michigan for a couple of years. The Lord…

Journey Through Matthew
Overview: Matthew, the first Gospel Record, serves as an appropriate transition from the Old Covenant to the New Covenant. Matthew makes plain that the Jehovah of the Old Testament is the Jesus of the New Testament — He is the King. Listen to An Overview of Matthew: Journey Through Matthew Have you ever looked at four portraits of the same person taken from different vantage points? Each gives you a different perspective on the subject. The first four books…

“Friends and Mentors”
Bob and Betty Crichton The Lord brings people into your life at just the right time and for many reasons. At certain junctures on the journey, He allows individuals to cross your path to help you find direction. Several years ago when I was serving at the Temple Baptist Church and Crown College, God providentially brought Bob Crichton to serve on our staff. He was a long-time, personal friend of Pastor Sexton and he quickly became a dear friend and…

“A Spiritual Father”
Roger and Marcia Pauley It was Dr. Frank Sells who first used the term “spiritual father” in my hearing. I was a young student when I came to understand that there are men used of God to nurture and guide the next generation. Paul understood this principle. He wrote to the church at Corinth, “For though ye have ten thousand instructers in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel”…

“A Fellow Traveler”
Chase and Joy Whitten Some people have a God-given restlessness. They are not discontent, they are hungry for more. It is this type of restlessness that has spurred missionary pioneers to the ends of the earth. If you have every met one of these great souls, you know it. They are always charging another hill and preparing for the next work. My friend, Chase Whitten has this spirit. Chase grew up in West Virginia and as a young man was…

Journey Through Acts
Journey Through Acts Overview: Some people have called it, the Fifth Gospel. It is called in our New Testament, the Book of Acts. Most think they are the acts of the Apostles; in reality, they are the acts of God, through the Apostles. It is the book of Christ continuing His work in this world through the early New Testament Church, by the Holy Spirit. The Book of Acts is a sequel to the Gospel of Luke. Listen to An…

“Do You Need Any Help?”
Kimberly Wesdyk We were only a couple of years into evangelism and I was overwhelmed with the pace of it all. In fact, I was drowning in correspondence and travel requests when my friend Scott Hooks called. “Do you need any help?” I laughed. Yes, more than I could explain. A kind member of his church had come in to express her interest in serving the Lord in some way. Kimberly Wesdyk works as a law clerk, and with her…

“A Certain Disciple Was There”
Micah and Ana Hendry It has always interested me that as Paul traveled preaching the gospel the Lord allowed people to cross his path at just the right time. He sets divine appointments for His servants. On Paul’s second missionary journey, he came into Iconium, Derbe, and Lystra. It was here that he would meet the young man who would become his assistant in the work of the gospel, the young man whose name is found in two inspired letters…

Journey Through Ezra
We are journeying through the little book of Ezra. And what an amazing book it is. Ezra is a very short book, a brief book, and it picks up exactly where II Chronicles leaves off. It is one of the Post-Exile books. There are some double books in the Old Testament. For example: I and II Samuel, I and II Kings, I and II Chronicles. Originally the books of Ezra and Nehemiah were viewed as one book, and they were…

“My First Volunteer”
Stephen: “My First Volunteer” The best team mates are the ones who join because they want to. In the ministry, there is no such thing as a “draft” – God only has volunteers. The Lord has no “hired servants.” His servants serve Him because they love Him! Stephen Troell was living and laboring in Ammon, Jordan by the time I went into evangelism. He was one of the first to reach out to me after I made public my decision.…

My Word for 2025
My Word for 2025 Words matter, and there are no words like the words of our Lord Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit calls them “wholesome words” (1 Timothy 6:3). As a new year begins it is not unusual to hear people wish one another a healthy and prosperous new year. There is a spiritual health and prosperity that is found only in the pages of Scripture. The two-edged sword wounds and makes whole – the Bible has the power to…

“Meet Our ETJ Team”
Scott and Tammy Pauley Our journey in evangelism started at the first of the year and in the middle of winter. On that cold Sunday morning, January 3, 2016, I preached from Psalm 23 on “He Leadeth Me.” Now, as we begin our 10th year in full-time evangelism, I can tell you that our faithful Shepherd is continuing to lead us. When we left the ministry at the Temple Baptist Church and Crown College to follow God’s leading, Pastor Sexton…

New Attitudes for the New Year
New Attitudes for the New Year It was early morning when dad came into my room and placed something on the dresser. As a junior high boy I was intrigued enough to get myself out of bed to investigate what he had left. Maybe it was money! Instead, what I discovered was a one word sticker attached to the mirror: ATTITUDE I must confess that I often despised that sticker! The adhesive was so strong that it stayed on the…
