    We are called by God to be in community with each other. We are each a spiritual stone used by God to build the church. There’s no such thing as an individual Christian.

    Imagine a world where coming to church meant risking your life, a world where professing belief in Christ was the same as signing your own death sentence. Although that might be hard for us to comprehend, it is that world that our scripture invites us into this morning. 1 Peter was a letter ...read more

    There are two times when it’s difficult to trust God: when things are going badly, and when things are going well. Here’s how to develop a strong trust in God.

    (Note: The title of this message comes from Rick Warren; however, the content is original) There are two times when it’s difficult to trust God. One is when things are going badly. And the other is when things are going well. The author of Proverbs understood this fact of human nature, and he ...read more

    This outline is based on a sermon by Sermon Central Contributor William Groover on Harry Potter. I have added video clip suggestions and presented the message in more of a "life-changing" format, with Biblical passages to reinforce each point.

    Harry Potter or the Stone? (Don’t Be a Muggle!) [Expanded powerpoint available based on this outline: don_hawks@hotmail.com] Welcome to the living Stone, the source of life.

    The Mission Of The Lord's Church

    This is a study of the Ministries of the Church of Christ in this world. Each congregation needs to examine its work to ensure that it is fulfilling God’s glorious purpose.

    In Matthew 16:18, Jesus emphatically stated that He would build His "Church and the gates of Hades would not overpower it." Indeed, following His resurrection and ascension, we find His establishing the Church on Pentecost in ACTS 2. Throughout the remainder of the Book of ACTS, we see it "having ...read more

    The Church: From Death To Life

    Everywhere we hear the Church is dead, but does that mean that we have to bury her?

    From everywhere we hear the cry of the world that the Church is dead. People are leaving the Church because there is so little life left in the Church. I think if we can write an obituary about the Church, it will probably be as follows: For many years the Church was in a battle for survival. ...read more

    But Nails Hurt! Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 24, 2003
    based on 87 ratings
     | 13,197 views

    Nails were distributed to the congregation, so that they could test: if you wish to endure, you have to endure some pounding. Holes may be punched in you, too. But if you persist, ultimately you will be built up.

    If you really want to grow, it’s going to cost you. If you truly expect to be built up, there will be some pain involved. No growth ever takes place without pain. That’s a law of life. That’s not negotiable. No pain, no gain. No hurt, no growth. No rough edges, no building up. If you truly ...read more
