All Things Are Ready! - Matthew 22:4
This free, full, complete justification in Christ belongs to every believer!
THE DOCTRINE OF "ALL THINGS":
GOD EMPOWERS YOUR MINISTRY.
01.
— All things are of God.
In the creation of the universe, in the wise and orderly disposition of providence, and in the salvation of our souls, “all things are of God.” – 2 Corinthians 5:18
02.
— All things are for God, for the glory of God.
The LORD has made everything for a purpose, even the wicked for the evil day. – Proverbs 16:4
03.
— All things are disposed of by God in time, with His purpose.
“10 with regard to the fulfillment of the times [that is, the end of history, the climax of the ages]—to bring all things together in Christ, [both] things in the heavens and things on the earth. 11 In Him also we have [a]received an inheritance [a destiny—we were claimed by God as His own], having been predestined (chosen, appointed beforehand) according to the purpose of Him who works everything in agreement with the counsel and design of His will.” – Ephesians 1:10-11
04.
— All things have been put into the hands and under the feet of Christ, as our mediator.
“8 You have put all things in subjection under his feet [confirming his supremacy].”
Now in putting all things in subjection to man, He left nothing outside his control. But at present we do not yet see all things subjected to him.
Jesus Briefly Humbled
9 But we do see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while [by taking on the limitations of humanity], crowned with glory and honor because of His suffering of death, so that by the grace of God [extended to sinners] He might experience death for [the sins of] everyone.” – Hebrews 2:8-9
05.
— All things are for your sakes!
“15 For all [these] things are for your sake, so that as [God’s remarkable, undeserved] grace reaches to more and more people it may increase thanksgiving, to the glory of [our great] God.” – 2 Corinthians 4:15
“I will cry to God Most High, Who accomplishes all things on my behalf [for He completes my purpose in His plan].” – Psalm 57:2
06.
— All things work together for the spiritual and eternal good of God's elect.
Those who have trusted in Jesus Christ alone for salvation and relationship with God have certainty and a confidence based on promises from God’s Word and the indwelling Holy Spirit’s confirmation.
Romans 8:28-31
God’s objective is conformity to the Father. Additionally, God desires many believers, or those who trust Christ as Savior. The process is given: Calling, Justifying, and (ultimately) Glorifying!
07.
— All things are yours!
All grace, all blessings, all privileges, and all ministry–every provision, saving, keeping, logistical, material, health, emotional, and financial–are yours! 1 Corinthians 3:21-23
Therefore, let no man glory in men. This world’s fame, fortune, or fashion are of no actual eternal value.
08.
— By Christ, all that believe are justified from all things!
There is no justification by the works of the law and by religious rites and ceremonies.
Christ’s justification of the believer is free, full, complete. – Acts 13:23-26
09.
— All things are ready!
Here is complete pardon, complete righteousness, sure acceptance, unconditional salvation, and absolute security – Matthew 22:4

Now FBC-SM team took part in tournaments and use this to share the Gospel to the youth involved in sports!
BLESS Ministry
Teaching people (especially children) to read opens so many doors for them. The libraries of human wisdom overflow with ideas for young minds to explore. But to equip them to read the very WORD of GOD, the Creator God is a powerful thing! We have in this way enabled them to have the first things they read be the threads that will bind together the thoughts of their lives with the eternal thoughts of the Omniscient God. They will have the ability to touch and be touched by the Sovereign of the Universe. – Love, Rev. Del Hooge
Administration Ministry
Administration is considered a “team gift” because it thrives when called upon to organize people to accomplish an objective. God gives some the spiritual gift of administration in order to help organize those with other gifts and keep the church functioning at its most efficient best.

Praying Ministry
The prayer of a righteous man avails much. Prayer should be directed to God the Father, in the name of God the Son, and by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Studying Ministry
Doctrine is a body of teaching. Christian doctrine is the teaching found in the Bible—about who God is, who we are, why the world exists, and so on. The subject merits careful thought because it plays a vital part in every Christian’s life. God wants us to know Him and make Him known.
Coaching and Teaching Ministry
The actions of Jesus Christ strongly support the concept of teaching as ministry, for Christ began his own ministry by teaching, trained his followers as they accompanied him on his trips of teaching and other service, then sent them out as ministers with the command to “teach” (Mt 28.20).
Discipleship Ministry
Living By Faith. Faith means believing, trusting, relying upon, or surrendering to something or someone. It is fully relying upon something/someone so much that you are compelled to embrace its truth and goodness, seeking to apply it in every moment of life.
Walking in the Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the one who remakes us. He regenerates, or re-births, us into God’s holy and righteous family (Eph. 4:24).
Resting in Grace. Resting in grace means trusting in God’s favor and love at all times. It is trusting in the work that Christ has done for us, and that, by his work, God has declared us righteous in his sight, reconciled us to himself, adopted us into his family, made us new, and forgiven us all our trespasses.
