Cutting edge for pastors and ministry leaders.
By: Frank Tunstall, D. Min. Peter wrapped-up His indictment on that grand first Pentecost by saying, “Let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ” (Acts 2:36; see also Acts 4:10). With this conclusion of Peter’s Pentecost sermon, he sealed the indictment against the evil […]

By: Frank Tunstall, D. Min. The goal of this study is to choose four of the Jehovah names of God and present them as models for earthly dads. No father can do perfectly what these Jehovah names of God calls for, but dads can love the Lord and their family to the point the intentions […]
By: Frank G. Tunstall, D. Min. Philip the deacon was among those expelled from Jerusalem by the Jewish ruling authorities who used expulsion as a tool to try to control the spread of the gospel (Acts 8:1). Philip went to one of the towns in Samaria and “proclaimed the Christ there” (Acts 8:5). Jesus had […]
By: Frank Tunstall The prophets: “yearning to understand Messiah’s suffering and glory” (1 Peter 1:10-11 NIV). Spring is bursting out all around us. Grass, trees, bushes, flowers – they’re all experiencing a resurrection. Nature gives billions of witnesses to the resurrection. But nature is also limited. Only the story of the death and resurrection of […]
By: Frank Tunstall, D. Min. How important that we rethink our doctrine of repentance and rediscover sin is sin precisely because it violates God. “Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love,” King David pled following his tryst with Bathsheba that ended in her pregnant and her husband murdered. “According to your […]
By: Frank Tunstall, D. Min. Think about it. Rebellion against God is how the indictment reads, and every living person is guilty. “All have sinned and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). We have no plea to make; indeed, we can never do enough works of righteousness even to mount a defense. […]
By: Frank Tunstall, D. Min. All children of God sooner or later will need a well thought out but if not doctrine. The ups and downs of life will see to that. The story of Shadrach, Meshack, and Abednego make the point. These three Hebrew young men lived during the Babylonian exile some 2500 years […]
By Frank Tunstall, D. Min. The seven last words of Jesus from His cross have been the topic of many pastors and teachers. Very few, however, give attention to the seven first sayings of Jesus after His resurrection. I read a nameless article some years ago that set me to thinking. The idea is surely […]
By Frank Tunstall When Jesus was eight days old His young parents made the five-mile journey from Bethlehem to take Him to the temple for dedication and circumcision (Luke 2:21-24; Leviticus 12:8; Exodus 13:1-2, 12). Even if Joseph by this time owned a donkey for Mary to ride, it had to be a hard journey […]
