Living Word

In the section Living Word we want to provide sermon outlines to help pastors in the preparation for their important and central task of preaching. We try to provide help in the exposition and the application of the text. We have 146 sermon outlines available at the moment! This week: Psalm 146.

Worship and witness

Worship is "worth-ship," an acknowledgment of the worth of Almighty God. And God’s worth is absolute. It is the same for every other man as it is for me, and for me as it is for every other man. It is therefore impossible for me to worship God truly and yet not care two cents whether anybody else worships Him too. Sincerely to pray "Hallowed be Thy name" is bound to make us witnesses, "for the sake of the Name," the very name whose hallowing we say we desire. It is not surprising therefore that is was during a time of worship that the first missionary journey was conceived: "While they were worshipping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, 'Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them,'” Worship which does not beget mission is hypocrisy. We cannot acclaim the worth of God if we have no desire to proclaim it.

Children's Devotions

"You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise" (Deut. 6:7) This is the instruction to all parents to bring the Word of God to their children at all times. However, it is not always easy to bring the Word of God to younger children. In this section we want to help all parents, grandparents, pastors, and Sunday School teachers with this important task.

Bible study

You can find material here that is suitable for Bible study. The purpose of these articles is to give an overview of longer Bible passages. This material is suitable for personal or group Bible study. Some of the Bible studies have questions which can be used for discussion.

Easy-to-understand Bible Studies

In this section we provide a wide variety of easy-to-understand Bible studies. Our aim is to cover topics related to the Christian faith, Christian life, leadership, pastoral care, and all other aspects of our life with the Lord. Each Bible study topic is subdivided into lessons to cover the main topic.

Although these Bible studies try to bring out the depth of Scripture, they do not use difficult words. They explain important biblical concepts. They address the core of the topic and are not long.

We believe that these Bible studies are ideal for the following:
