“For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.” |

WELCOME! This website is to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to announce the speaking engagements of Joseph Durham. Joseph is an evangelist, going from church to church preaching the Word, while he continues his seminary studies. He has been preaching for eight years, and shows no sign of slowing down. The ministry has been said by some to be tiresome, stressful, annoying, tiring, wonderful, hurtful, the best thing ever, the worst thing ever, et cetera. Are you a minister or an evangelist? How do you look at the ministry? The best thing in life is to know what you have been called to do, to do it, and enjoy it. Joseph gets that opportunity each and everyday. His passion for the Gospel began when he was younger, and just continues to grow. While this site continues to grow, won’t you grow in the LORD with him. Think of this, we spend hours watching TV every day. We talk non-stop on our cellular phones, and driving, but how much of time do we spend reading our Bibles? Think of this, if you read ten chapters of your Bible everyday, five chapters in the morning, and five in the evening, you will be able to read the entire Bible four times in one whole year! Do not make the excuse that you just do not have time, we all know that that is not true. The question is, will you make time for God in your life? He made time for you. Join Joseph in prayer and worshiping the LORD as he continues his education and preaching throughout. If you know a pastor of a small, medium, or large church, or a garage type church, pass this site on to them. Perhaps Joseph will have the opportunity to come to your area and spread the Word of the LORD. When approaching new churches about coming and speaking it is always asked what denomination Joseph belongs to. He always responds, “I do not preach denominations, I preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. There is one LORD, one Savior. I preach Jesus Christ, not church doctrines. The Scripture calls for “brethren to dwell together in unity” not discord. Why argue over the small intricate details when there are souls to be won? Winning souls to the LORD is where we need to focus our ministries. I do not mean change the Word to fit this group of people and then change this word to fit another group of people.” There are issues which the church cannot buckle on: the virgin birth, resurrection, salvation, the rapture, et cetera. But there are many of times when churches will split because they cannot agree on the small intricate matters, such as color of the carpet, position of the church organ. A church is not a church unless it is built on the Word of God. When you take the Word of the LORD and twist it to fit your intentions you are sinning. The Word of the LORD is alive (Heb 4:12) and it speaks to the very soul. Preach the Word of the LORD, and nothing else; for nothing else matters. The Bible is the same today as it was years ago, it has not changed; man has changed it to fit their purpose. Stand bold in the Word and preach Jesus Christ!
