All about A.I. and how YOU can make a difference in how it responds

by

AI IN MINISTRY

A.I. is not a dark force to be afraid of, it is a tool and like any other tool, it can be used to help or to hurt.

But it is very different in one way that is incredibly important for anyone in ministry and that is for you to understand that YOU can make a difference, a BIG difference to the content served up by A.I on the web.

Please bear with me for a few minutes while I explain this because if you understand what I’m saying and will encourage you to do, it can make a huge difference in the lives of untold multitudes around the world now and into the future.

I am not exaggerating.

First of all, a very quick and extremely brief review of how A.I. works.

A.I. is not original; the answers it provides in whatever form are based on what it has learned from the collective wisdom of what it has found online. [Read more…]

Practical Ministry tips, tools, strategy, resources, and challenges for Bible teachers and ministry leaders

by

Ministry Miscellany Podcast
A collection of tools, strategies, and challenges for Bible teachers. The Ministry Miscellany Podcast goes along with this content.

I praise God that, though a few detours have taken place, the primary activities of my life have been teaching the Bible, involvement with my church, and Christian ministries. I am incredibly, humbly, and joyfully grateful for the life and many, many ministry experiences the Lord has given me, and though I hope the Lord gives me many more years to serve Him (my grandmother taught Sunday School class into her 90s), I have already been at this long enough that I have some suggestions that might be helpful, some ministry advice that might be encouraging, and some resources that I’ve found helpful.

I feel the Lord wants me to pass them on. They are humbly offered with no claim of expertise or guarantee of success. Most is offered for free–only my personally authored books have a cost. Also, the Bible805 ministry takes no advertising, nor do I participate in any affiliate marketing schemes where I would get paid for promoting something. There are no hidden agendas for anything I tell you about.

This is a new section for the Bible805 ministry, and the Ministry Miscellany Podcast goes along with it.

I’ll post the availability of new material here and on the podcast and on the Bible805 Newsletter, CLICK HERE to sign up for it.

Tetelestai, if the battle is finished, why is life so hard?

56 pages
Paperback, $6.99
Kindle, $3.99

This is a short but powerful book in how it will give you hope and an understanding of why life is so hard.

It does this by examining the word, “Tetelestai!” was the final cry of Jesus from the cross, and it means, “it is finished.” It is an extraordinary cry of victory and hope.

Though it is often part of sermons on the Easter message of salvation, the true meaning of the word and implications of it extend far beyond Easter. Here are the questions we will explore in this short book:

  • What is finished?
  • Did Jesus really say “Tetelestai”?
  • SPOILER ALERT! !!! He did not.
  • Read on for what He actually said and its meaning to us.
  • If the victory is won and the battle over, why is life so hard?
  • And how should we live in this challenging time, considering what He said?

In this book, you will find encouragement and hope in your life battles while we wait for the finished work of our Lord on the cross to become the reality of our forever with Him.

Through the Bible, Lesson #8 The Backstory of Jesus in the Old Testament

by

The Backstory of JesusThis lesson explores how the tabernacle, sacrifices, and festivals in the Old Testament form the foundation for understanding Jesus and the rest of the Bible.

Beginning with the Road to Emmaus, we are reminded that Jesus Himself explained how Moses and the Prophets pointed to Him. The New Testament repeatedly shows that what happened in the life of Jesus was the fulfillment of promises, pictures, and patterns given centuries earlier.

The lesson emphasizes that the Bible is one unified story with one ultimate Author. When read in fragments, its unity can be missed. But when viewed as a whole, the tabernacle, sacrificial system, priesthood, and festivals reveal a coherent plan of redemption pointing forward to Christ.

Each element of Israel’s worship—the altar, laver, lampstand, showbread, veil, ark, and annual feasts—served as a picture of what Jesus would ultimately fulfill. These were not random rituals, but carefully designed illustrations of cleansing, sacrifice, fellowship, intercession, rest, and final redemption. Together they form the backstory of Jesus and deepen our understanding of His life, death, resurrection, and promised return.

Following is the podcast, video, and handouts for the lesson.
