God is bringing us new opportunities in this last half of the year
Yesterday00:57:10Tap to summarizeIn this week's office hours, members shared various testimonies including Theresa's experience with God speaking to her through specific words about "selfish ambition," Anya's organization receiving an unexpected grant, Bose's victory over spiritual warfare through prayer and taking authority, and Sonja's development of a free prayer app for health. The discussion also covered topics of business marketing, prayer authority, and the importance of pivoting when new information arises, with members sharing experiences about how God provides opportunities and guidance in their entrepreneurial and ministry endeavors. __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com __________
Transcribe →Prescriptive scriptures are for doctrine
Yesterday00:03:05Tap to summarizePrescriptive Scriptures establish doctrine by providing authoritative commands and principles that apply to all believers for all time, revealing God's ongoing will through clear instructions and consistent biblical patterns. When reading Scripture, it is important to distinguish between passages that simply describe events and those that prescribe how believers should live by asking: Is this reporting an event, teaching a direct command or principle, and is it affirmed throughout the rest of Scripture as a norm for God's people? __________ John 13:34 NLT, 1 Timothy 3:1–5 NLT, Philippians 4:6 NLT, Ephesians 4:31–32 NLT __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com __________
Transcribe →God Opportunity and Bible Study Update
2d ago00:01:33Tap to summarizeThis week our family received a God opportunity that will require me to make a change to my planned weekly Bible study on Sundays. I can't share the specifics of the opportunity just yet, but I will share them with you in July. In order to support this opportunity, instead of having weekly Bible studies on Sundays, we will continue with the once-a-month Bible studies for now. To create a somewhat consistent schedule, these once-per-month Bible studies will be held on the first Fridays from 7 PM to 9 PM EST. This will start on Friday, July 3rd. Thanks for walking through all the adjustments we have been making with CFE over the years. Here's the new link to RSVP for Bible Study: https://m.churchforentrepreneurs.com/events/bible-study-103650679
Transcribe →Some parts of Scripture are descriptive and are not intended to establish doctrine
2d ago00:09:53Tap to summarizeSome passages in Scripture are descriptive, meaning they record historical events and actions without intending to establish doctrine or serve as commands for all believers. While these accounts provide valuable lessons and reveal God's work throughout history, doctrine should be built primarily from passages that clearly teach and prescribe God's will. Careful interpretation requires considering the context, timing, and overall message of Scripture so that believers do not mistakenly turn historical narratives into universal commands. Understanding this distinction helps us apply God's Word faithfully and accurately. __________ Acts 1:21–26 NLT, John 16:13–15 NLT, Romans 8:14 NLT, Acts 2:1–4 NLT, Acts 4:32–35 NLT, Acts 5:3–4 NLT, 2 Corinthians 9:7 NLT, Judges 21:20–23 NLT __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com __________
Transcribe →We have to rightly study the Word of God
3d ago00:06:00Tap to summarizeThe Word of God must be studied rightly so we build our lives on truth rather than falsehood. Since all Scripture is inspired by God, we should study it with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, compare passages, and examine multiple translations to understand God's message. Not every passage is meant to establish doctrine, as some Scriptures describe events while others instruct us how to live. Sound interpretation requires reading Scripture in context, recognizing personal biases, and establishing beliefs through consistent biblical patterns rather than isolated verses. __________ 2 Timothy 2:15 KJV, 2 Timothy 3:16–17 KJV, John 16:13 NLT __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com __________

1w ago00:03:21Tap to summarizeIn this excerpt from Office Hours, Pastor Amos distinguishes between a lifelong "calling" (mission) and an "occupation" (provision), using the Apostle Paul's tentmaking as an example of a skill used to generate income without becoming one's identity. __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com __________
Transcribe →The fog of life clouds your vision
1w ago00:06:59Tap to summarizeThere is a term in warfare called "the fog of war." It is a metaphor for the confusion that occurs on the battlefield when bullets are flying and bombs are exploding. In this confusion, or fog, the battle plan becomes unclear and uncertain. Likewise, there is a fog in life that causes confusion in the vision God has given you. The Bible calls this fog the "cares of this world." Let's learn more about the fog of life and how to prevent it from clouding your vision from God. __________ Matthew 13:7 KJV, Matthew 13:22 KJV, Mark 11:13–14 KJV, Jeremiah 1:5 KJV __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com __________
