    The church is compared to a house, and we are the individual building blocks.

    Introduction: This morning, I want to talk about a church building. Not the physical building that surrounds us here which is composed of wood and stone, but the building of God, the church of our Lord that is composed of living stones. The New Testament uses a number of different descriptive ...read more

    The Mission Of The Lord's Church

    based on 54 ratings
     | 8,329 views

    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

    But Nails Hurt! Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 24, 2003
    based on 87 ratings
     | 12,651 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

    If you’re going through a storm in your life (and you will eventually), let God drive.

    God Called Shotgun? On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let us go across to the other side.” Now, this statement is very important. He said, “we’re going to the other side” Think about that statement. If He says the other side, that’s where your going if He’s in ...read more

    Worship: Why? Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 8, 2003
    based on 44 ratings
     | 5,974 views

    We worship because that is the way we can express our deepest fears and instabilities; we can be freed from ourselves; and we can gain motivation for the use of our lives.

    Few things are shared in by more human beings than worship. Worship is something nearly everybody does, in one way or another. Now I didn’t say that everybody goes to church. Obviously not. Not even half of the American population attends any kind of worship on a regular basis. The Gallup Poll ...read more

    The Apostle Peter reminds us that in the church age, every born-again believer is a priest in the sight of God, indeed, we are "a holy priesthood".

    A Holy Priesthood Text: 1 Peter 2:4-10 Introduction I watched a show where scientists tried to make a smaller model of the great pyramids to learn how the ancients had accomplished the feat.
