JOSHUA C. ROGERS
Professional Summary
My passion in ministry is Preaching the Word of God for the glory of God. In Acts 6:4 the Apostles stated "But we will devote ourselves to prayer, and to the ministry of the word. Ephesians 4:11-12 says "He gave some to be Apostles, some prophets, some evangelist, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ." Based on these verses, I believe that I am called, first and foremost, to preach the word of God prayerfully and faithfully. My heart beats for souls to come to know the Savior and live for him in Holiness. I am committed to Expository preaching, preaching through the books of the Bible verse by verse. In doing this you get the word of God, not the opinion of the preacher.
