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 __________

6d 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 __________
Transcribe →Can We All Be Like Elon Musk with Multiple Ventures, What's the Difference Between Calling and Provision, and Other Interesting Topics
1w ago01:01:00Tap to summarizeThis week's Office Hours focused on balancing faith, calling, and entrepreneurship. One participant sought guidance about managing an existing tutoring business while considering a new food-related venture. The advice emphasized discerning whether new opportunities align with God's timing and calling, noting that sources of provision should support rather than distract from one's primary purpose, similar to how Apostle Paul's tent-making ministry supported his apostolic work. Suggestions included testing the new business concept through blogging or community-building before making a larger commitment. Another participant offered a business connection in the childcare industry, while the conversation broadened into the challenges of balancing multiple ventures. Participants discussed the importance of maintaining focus and, when pursuing several projects, shifting from doing all the work personally to leading, managing, and delegating effectively. A caregiver entrepreneur shared plans to expand services through a nonprofit foundation, receiving encouragement to focus directly on the larger vision rather than investing significant time in smaller preliminary projects. The group also explored the relationship between faith and business success, discussing the differences between worldly systems and kingdom principles, the value of small businesses, and the importance of thinking boldly about God-given visions and opportunities. The meeting concluded with encouragement to pursue one's calling without limiting ambitions, announcements regarding upcoming ministry activities and Bible study opportunities, and discussion of an upcoming mission trip to South Africa focused on youth evangelism. __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com __________
Transcribe →Characteristics of speaking in tongues
1w ago00:07:55Tap to summarizeWe explore the biblical characteristics of speaking in tongues and what Scripture teaches about this spiritual gift. We discuss how tongues function as a heavenly language through which believers communicate with God, how the spirit prays even when the mind does not fully understand, and why this gift remains under the believer's control and how to receive it. __________ 1 Corinthians 13:1 KJV, 1 Corinthians 14:14 KJV, 1 Corinthians 14:27–33 KJV, Luke 11:11–13 KJV __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com __________
Transcribe →You will take a few hits following your calling
1w ago00:07:18Tap to summarizeJust because God called you to do it doesn't mean you won't take a few hits while following your calling. We have a real enemy who doesn't want you to succeed. So, when you experience dumps in the road of calling, don't give up. Allow Holy Spirit to guide you around or through the dumps in the road. __________ Acts 16:9-10, 16-19, 22-26, 36-37, 39 KJV __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com __________
Transcribe →Everybody can speak in tongues
1w ago00:07:20Tap to summarizeThere is a distinction between the public gift of tongues and private prayer in tongues. In 1 Corinthians 12, Paul is discussing ministry gifts given to different members of the church for the benefit of the body, which is why not everyone is called to speak in tongues publicly, just as not everyone is an apostle, prophet, or teacher. In 1 Corinthians 14, however, Paul describes a personal use of tongues in which believers speak directly to God and edify themselves. While public tongues in a church gathering must be accompanied by interpretation to benefit others, private tongues can be practiced freely as a form of personal prayer and communion with God. __________ 1 Corinthians 12:27–30 NLT, 1 Corinthians 14:18–19 NLT, 1 Corinthians 14:26–28 NLT, 1 Corinthians 14:1–4 KJV __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com __________
