The ministry of the Church and the ministry of every minister should be based on and around the Great
Commission from Matthew 28:18-20 (KJV).
"And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son,
and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you:
and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world."
It is my belief that I am to be a spokesman for Jesus Christ, that I am to preach in season and out, giving
testimony for Jesus at every possible opportunity.
I believe the bible is the Word of God, that it was inspired by God's Holy spirit, and every word found
therein is true. I believe the bible is a guidebook, a book of instructions, and a road map to heaven. In it's
pages are found the answers to all of life's difficulties and problems.
It is my belief that "Thus Saith the Lord" holds as much power and strength today as it did when God
spoke them. I also believe he will punish the wicked unless they choose to accept and follow Jesus. I
believe and preach the gospel according to Jesus, which includes repentance, forgiveness, mercy and
grace.
I believe Jesus is the only begotten son of God, that he created the heaven and the earth, that he came
down heaven, that he was born to a virgin whose name was Mary, that he grew into manhood, and at the
age of thirty, was baptized by John the Baptist in the Jordan river where the Spirit of God descended on
him and he began doing great and mighty works. I believe Jesus preached and taught in and around
Israel, that he healed the sick, caused the blind to see, the deaf to hear, and the dead to rise.
I believe Jesus was crucified on a cross between two thieves. I believe he died on the cross, was taken
down and buried in a borrowed tomb, and on the third day he arose from the dead and was seen by
many. I believe forty days after he arose, he ascended back to heaven where he now sits on the right of
the Father interceding for us.
Jesus is the only way to heaven, He is "The way, the truth and the life, and no man comes unto the
Farther except through him." In this time in which we live, there is much teaching stating that there are
multiple ways to get to heaven. Jesus on the other hand, taught that there is only one way to heaven, and
that way is through him. He is the door, the way, and there is no other.
As a pastor and a minister of the gospel, it is my responsibility to tell others about Jesus and to equip them
to be disciples of our Lord.
I am looking forward to a long and prosperous ministry at Mountain Grove. It is my prayer to teach, preach
and to proclaim the truth there, and to equip the Saints of the church who meet at that location with the
tools and knowledge they need to win souls for Jesus Christ
