We throw away this amount of time quite often. If each minute has purchase power (Eph. 5:16), what are we doing with our time? Many of you know of my love for Jonathan Fisher (1768–1847) who was a pastor in Blue Hill, ME for many years. He had a preeminent concern over time and his time usage. One pastor said something like this of him after his death, “As a miser is with his money, so Fisher was with his minutes.” How are we with our minutes? Do we squander them like a prodigal, or do we redeem them like a wise man? We are beginning a new sermon series this coming Sunday on the book of Titus. Unlike the

Over the next several months, we will be entering into three new studies together as a church! I’m excited about all of these new series/classes and look forward to preaching/teaching them. We want you to be aware of them for a couple of reasons:  2. Begin Reading   So, where are we going? There are three main settings in the context of Windsor’s teaching/preaching ministry: Midweek Bible Study, Sunday School, and Lord’s Day Worship.  Midweek Bible Study & Prayer For around the past year and a half, we have been working through the book of Romans together in this setting. It has been a treat to work through Paul’s Magnum Opus! However, we will be done within the next month.  Our next

A primary concern for many, when choosing a church, is in regard to the songs and/or style of music played within the context of the worship service. Are the songs “contemporary” stylistically with drums and electric guitars or are they “traditional” with a piano and organ? Twenty-five years ago it was not uncommon to see a church split up their services: at 9AM they might have a “traditional service” with hymns, and at 10:30AM they might have a “contemporary service” with songs fresh from Christian radio. Without getting too much into the weeds, I want to simply address our approach at Windsor Christian Fellowship. Through the years, I’ve had the opportunity to teach and speak on this subject both publicly

In the sermon on 2/18, I briefly mentioned the two angels in the tomb that Mary Magdalene saw are reminiscent of the two angels on the Ark of the Covenant; however, I didn’t give much of a rationale for pointing that out. In his commentary on John, Edward Klink provides several reasons for seeing this connection that may be of interest to you: There are numerous verbal and conceptual links that support this interpretation. First, there is a spatial relationship between the location of the ark and the body of Jesus. The ark was in the innermost chamber of the tabernacle and separated by a veil (Exod 40:3, 21); Jesus’s body was placed in a burial chamber and separated by a

Whether you be “strong” or “weak” on a particular issue, the Apostle Paul is clear in 1 Corinthians 8 and Romans 14 as to how Christians ought to disagree with one another. Strife and/or separation do not seem to be–at all–the way in which Paul recommends Christians ought to handle their disagreements, but is this not the way many Christians handle disagreement? How can it be, with so much instruction on how to handle disagreement, that Christians either ignorantly or arrogantly go about their own way! In our Midweek Bible Study & Prayer (Wednesday nights at 6:30), we have been working through Romans 14 in a series through the Epistle to the Romans. In this chapter, Paul does not have

It is probably unsurprising that inviting somebody to church or attempting to share the gospel can be intimidating; however, there are tools you can become familiar with that can help you in this noble, God-honoring endeavor. Jordan Cerny has put together a wonderful collection of resources that are located right next to the front door of the church building. Part of why this is a good spot for these resources is so, as you’re on you’re way out the door on Sunday (into the mission field, as it were), you’ll easily be able to grab something from the shelf and give it away that week. You’ll find tracts that answer questions like Who is Jesus?, What is the Gospel?, Is
