THE WORD
MARK AMMERMAN
Passionate about the Bible, "I love to tell the story...."
"Speak those things which befit sound doctrine."
In a society where Truth is exchanged for personal opinion and religious plurality, the Church is in desperate need of what the Apostle Paul called "sound doctrine." Even in churches where the Gospel is preached and people appear "on fire for Jesus," young people are walking away from the faith in large numbers. Why? Because their faith experience often lacks healthy biblical roots and a reasoned biblical worldview. Sadly, this is sometimes true of whole congre- gations. Through preaching, teaching, multi-media presentations, special music and leadership training, Mark Ammerman can help you ground your people (of all ages) in the Word.

TEACHING THE WORD
"Love the Lord your God with all your...mind." Sometimes, in our zeal to be led by the Holy Spirit, we have "checked our brains at the door." We've declared that all we need is the Holy Ghost. And of course it's true that we all need the Holy Spirit's leading, gifts and power. But the foundational way that the Holy Spirit leads men and women of God into maturity and truth is through an understanding of the Bible... through a commitment to live by the teachings of Jesus and his apostles... through obedience to the written Word of God. While we must experience relationship with the Spirit of God, we must also commit ourselves to a reasoned study, proclamation and application of the Spirit-inspired words which God has given to the church to guide us until Jesus returns. Our Father doesn't want us to remain spiritual infants, tossed to and fro on every wind of the teachings of men. God wants us to mature. He wants us to know his everlasting truths and speak those truths to one another in love...so that we GROW UP into Christ in all things (Ephesians 4:11-16). "All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching the truth, rebuking error, correcting faults and giving instruction for right living, so that the man who serves God may be fully qualified and equipped to do every kind of good work (2 Timothy 3:16-17)." DISCIPLESHIP TO JESUS is discipleship in and through the words of Jesus and the inspired words of all of Holy Scripture. Mark Ammerman will help you equip your people to embrace the Bible holistically, so that your congregation becomes a body of "Bereans" who search the Scriptures together to know the truth which sets us free. PARAKALEO can come alongside you and your congregation in the following ways:
"Sing them over again to me, Wonderful words of Life. Let me more of their beauty see, Wonderful words of Life. Words of life and beauty, Teach me faith and duty. Beautiful words, wonderful words, Wonderful words of Life!" Philip P. Bliss, 1874 "How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord, Is laid for your faith in His excellent Word!" Rippon's Selection of Hymns, 1787 |
"We sang your song Precious Grace last Friday morning during the worship portion of Early Men's Prayer Meeting. The words were a beautiful expression of various facets of our redemption and inheritance. It was so edifying to confess the truth of all Christ has done for us. Thank you for writing this song!"
Ray Randolph, pastor of Lancaster Covenant Church Activate this video to watch Mark perform one of his original songs, Shoes of Clay. He has written over 200 songs. He'd be glad to work with you to create special music for services, dramas, events or a sermon series.

In the early days of the New Testament church, when the Gospel first came to the people of Berea, they weren't willing to just take the apostle Paul at his word. Instead, the Bible tells us that "the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true (Acts 17:11)."
The greatest revival of the Old Testament took place when Ezra the priest read the Law of the Lord aloud to the children of Israel.
Simply hearing the Word brought them to a repentance which led to a remarkable national revival.
Stir up your people to a renewed love and commitment to the WORD OF GOD.

"If all the world were Christian, it might not matter if all the world were uneducated. But...to be ignorant and simple now--not to be able to meet enemies on their own ground--would be to throw down our weapons, and to betray our uneducated brethren who have, under God, no deference but us against the intellectual attacks of the heathen." C.S. Lewis
"YOUR WORD IS A LAMP UNTO MY FOOTSTEPS AND A LIGHT UNTO MY PATH. WITHOUT IT, I WOULD SURELY SLIP AND FALL."
