A Brief History

My name is David Neal and I have been serving in ministry for twenty years. I have a Master of Divinity from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary with an emphasis in Pastoral Ministries. I have served as a Pastor, Minister of Music/Administration & Senior Adults and as a Mission Pastor. Over the years I have preached many sermons and led various Bible studies.

Several years ago I had the opportunity to lead a Men's Bible Study using a book written by Dr. Bruce Wilkinson entitled The Prayer of Jabez. This is a great little book if you desire to learn more about prayer and expand your boundaries of influence. Dr. Wilkinson has also written two other great little books entitled Secrets of the Vine and A Life God Rewards. I chose to study both books with our Men's Bible Study group because I knew they would challenge their faith, but they challenged mine instead! As a Christian, I knew it was important to share my faith and bear fruit, but I never truly understood the rewards that God had promised me for sharing my faith and bearing fruit.

What does it mean to bear fruit as a Christian? Does God really reward those who bear fruit by sharing their faith? These are two important questions that every Christian needs to answer. The action you take in response to these questions will determine how much treasure you are storing up in Heaven!

I will be posting a chapter by chapter book review of A Life God Rewards with the purpose of helping you understand the importance of sharing your faith and the rewards you will receive for bearing fruit. Stay tuned and begin praying for opportunities to share your faith and bear fruit!
