Halleluiah! Thank God for I found this page it helps me a lot and giving me some encouraging advice and tips regarding in my ministry. I was a worship leader in our church; please pray for me, because sometimes I got lack of confident regarding leading the worship in our church. I'm so nervous when I'm at the front, and sometimes I'm out of tune in all what we’re singing, because I'm not yet a good singer, so please pray for me to get more skilled in singing and to lead them in worshipping our God properly in spirit and in truth......Shalom!

Thanks for the information provided; You have given me a broader view of my duties and responsibilities as an usher. You have also allowed me to receive information to set goals and accomplishments as well. I ask that you pray for me as I take on the responsibility as president of the young adult usher's board at my church. I know that it's a big responsibilities, but I feel that after many days of prayer, this is where the Lord wants me to be, and I want to do my best.

I trust the Holy Spirit to lead me to the right one and to guide me in the changes I make to meet the needs of God's people in this particular ministry. Thank you for this site. Please pray for growth within our congregation and guidance for this Pastor.
Jim

Hello Dr. Chadwick. Just a note to tell you how inspiring your messages from the Bible are to me. I have quoted you many times from the pulpit. I love to read and I always read your email circular that I get. Thank you for your web-site and the sermons. I am encouraged by them.
Larry

Dr. Chadwick, Thanks for sharing your pastoral experience and Bible knowledge with others. I Pastor a small church and cannot afford to purchase books, tapes, videos nor can I always find the time to develop all the "organizational structure" for the church or prepare four sermons/lessons per week and remain creative, refresh, and uplifting. Your web makes this a lighter "burden". While I am an independent Baptist we share much of the same outlooks on ministry and church procedures. Thanks for not selling the Gospel as so many are doing today!
David

Appreciate that you share the various sermon illustration on the web. It will be a great help to someone like me who is just starting out in the ministry.
Magdalene

This is one of my favorite web sites. Please continue to keep it. It's a blessing to us. Also pray for my husband who has terminal cancer and has been given by his doctors less than six months to live. I pray God blessings on your writers of these wonderful articles.
Mary

I enjoy the fact that you do not charge for your sermons. I have enjoyed your ministry greatly and I thank the Lord for you sharing your ministry on the internet with out charge, for this God will richly bless you!
Sam

I enjoyed reading this sermon on gold, frankincense and myrrh. It helped to educate me about the significance of these three gifts, something I had been unsure of since first hearing the birth story. In two days I'm delivering a sermon to our youth group about Jesus birth and early life until baptism, and so this information has proven valuable to me in writing my own sermon. Thank you immensely.
John

Your sermons have been very helpful to me. I am blessed to see that there are God ordained and anointed Doctors out there, who are concerned about other ministries and who give freely their time and knowledge to lay peoples and other Pastors. Thank you so much brother.
Dominic

I have found Dr. Chadwick’s to be one of the best sources for Pastors. I especially like the articles on leadership, pastoral helps, etc. Do you offer any of this on a CD? There is so much information for a church (especially smaller ones) and I would love to have it on a disk or CD to ensure we would always have it. It would also facilitate printing forms, etc. We would be glad to pay for anything you might have.
Thomas

Thank you for your site because it is a great blessing for me and for many others. I am a theology student in Croatia and I am working as a preacher in one church near by. Please pray for me and my country that God may use us for His glory. God bless you in Jesus name.
