About Us

The Pastor's Helper online ministry officially began in March, 1997. Dr. Barry L. Davis saw a pressing need to offer a comprehensive website that could be used as a central resource for ministers and laypeople of all denominations. Beginning with a few links and posting several sermons, this site has grown to be one of the highest trafficked ministry sites on the internet today. Barry writes all of the sermon material we offer. Below you can read some more about Barry's education, writing, and his statement of faith.

Statement of Faith

The Bible

I believe the Bible, in the original manuscripts, consisting of the Old and New Testaments, to be the only inspired, inerrant, infallible, authoritative Word of God written.

The Trinity

I believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ

I believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.

Salvation

I believe that salvation is found in no other name than that of Jesus the Christ. Salvation is by grace, through faith.

The Holy Spirit

I believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by Whose indwelling power and fullness the Christian is enabled to live a godly life in this present evil world.
The Resurrection

I believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; those that are saved unto the resurrection of life, and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.

Spiritual Unity

I believe in the spiritual unity of all believers in Christ.

The Return of Christ

I believe in the literal return of Jesus Christ.
