Passover and Beyond

October 15, 2014/in Baptism and Communion Messages /by Tony Cooke

Most Christians know that there is somewhat of a correlation between the Passover of the Old Testament and Communion in the New Testament. Passover was instituted when God was about to deliver Israel out of Egyptian bondage. Communion was instituted when God was about to deliver us from the bondage of sin. … read more

Communion: For Better or Worse

October 15, 2014/in Baptism and Communion Messages /by Tony Cooke

We need to realize that the things of God are holy and sacred and are to be revered and respected. To do otherwise is dangerous, and the Corinthians blundered right into the danger zone. The conduct of the Corinthians regarding communion was a large part of the “more harm than good” that was taking place. … read more

Declarations of the Table

October 15, 2014/in Baptism and Communion Messages /by Tony Cooke

Isaiah 46:6-7 speaks of those who build their own god and then fall down and worship it. They have to carry their god from one place to another. When they cry out to their god it cannot answer them or save them out of their trouble. 1 Samuel 5:1-5 tells the story of Dagon falling when the Ark of the Covenant was placed next to it. Falls gods simply can’t measure up to or stand in the presence of God. … read more

How He Gave

October 15, 2014/in Baptism and Communion Messages /by Tony Cooke

Many people around the world know, from an intellectual standpoint, that Jesus died on the cross. Intellectual “knowing,” though, doesn’t necessarily change one’s life.

A Place Called Home

October 15, 2014/in Baptism and Communion Messages /by Tony Cooke

Surviving the Pressure Cooker: How One Couple Overcame Ministry Stress to Create a Successful Marriage by Maria Foslien

October 15, 2014/in Articles by Others /by Tony Cooke

I had never lived on my own before marriage and quite frankly I had a lot of growing up to do. Here in America my issues were easily skirted. Even with fast food, washers and dryers, prepackaged meals and microwaves I struggled with the daily demands of motherhood and marriage. We moved over to the former Soviet Union in 1993 to do mission work. …read more

Facing Personal Crisis While Maintaining Public Ministry by Rev. Dean Hawk

October 15, 2014/in Articles by Others /by Tony Cooke

Back in early 90’s my wife, Kim, and I faced a family crisis. We were crushed, gasping to catch our emotional breath, and wounded by an attack of the enemy. What we faced is irrelevant. Sorry, no juicy details. However, you can probably fill in the blank with any number of difficult situations or tragedies which have rocked your own world. …read more

Are You a Workaholic? by Rev. Dean Hawk

October 15, 2014/in Articles by Others /by Tony Cooke

Hold on to your hat! You may be sick and not even know it. Most workaholics are just like many of the other addicts who live in denial of the obvious symptoms and claim to be “normal.” In Philippians chapter two Paul references a man named Epaphroditus who became sick and almost died due to his work in the ministry. Even today in our culture we see the same patterns repeated by people in every occupation but especially those who serve in full time ministry. …read more

Do the Scriptures Forbid Women to Preach?

October 15, 2014/in Articles by Others /by Tony Cooke

Its aim was to build a new man in Christ Jesus, and to this inspired manhood was left the utmost liberty in respect to externals. This view is corroborated by the whole testimony of history. The modern Church is totally different from the assemblies of the first Christians. The civil state has been revolutionised since the time of Christ. …read more

First of all, I would like to qualify the content of the following paragraph by saying that my comments are not meant to be a criticism but are merely an observation.

The Role of Women in the Ministry, Part 1 by Beth Jones

October 15, 2014/in Articles by Others /by Tony Cooke
