    A Example Church

    Contributed by Jimmy Haile on Aug 10, 2021
     | 2,008 views

    A model church, Paul wants the church to understand that they are an example, not only to the people around them, but to other churches.

    A model church, Paul wants the church to understand that they are an example, not only to the people around them, but to other churches. What is that makes them a model? Not attendance numbers, annual budget, media coverage, or slick marketing techniques. Paul summarizes his profile of this ...read more

    If we are, in the words of one of the saints, going to be a "spectacle of saints," what better time to be alive than now, when the Church is encircled by enemies from both the left and the right.

    Monday of 21st week in Course This is a great time to be alive and to be a Christian. Now it’s not a very convenient time to be a Christian. In fact, with threats of terror coming from every part of the world, it’s not even a very convenient time to be alive. But greatness does not very often ...read more

    Faith Ringing Out Series

    As believers we are to have a testimony that rings out like the Thessalonian believers. We have turned from worthless things to Jesus. Our lives become a testimony when we continue our walk with Christ with patient endurance. That is when our faith rings out.

    The Liberty Bell changed the world on July 8, 1776, with the Liberty Bell ringing out from the tower of Independence Hall summoning the citizens of Philadelphia to hear the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence. It speaks of the rights and freedoms valued by the people. The ...read more

    A God-Planted Church

    Today I want to talk to you about church planting, because all churches are not GOD PLANTED!

    HOW DOES GOD PLANT A CHURCH? CHURCH PLANTING is something like what a farmer does, he plants the seed, cultivates the seed, fertilizes the seed and then patiently waits for it to grow. Church planters basically do the same thing. They have to plant the seed (Gospel), cultivate the seed, ...read more

    We have folks today who actually seem shocked that God’s church has problems.

    For example, some are shocked that the members of a church act less than perfect. Listen, I am shocked that they are shocked! Anytime you deal with humans, you have to keep in mind that the only perfect person who walked on this earth was the Lord Jesus, and imperfect people crucified Him! We ...read more

    What Are We Known For?

    More than any other time I wonder what we are known for? Those New Testament Christians were known for their resilience and unending mission to spread the gospel. But in the here and now - when the pressure of life is immense - what are we known for?

    WHAT ARE WE KNOWN FOR? 1 THESSALONIANS 1:1-10 Introduction The book of Acts serves as a history of the spreading flame of the gospel throughout the Roman empire and beyond. Thousands are baptized in Acts 2. Later we see the astounding conversion of the terrorist Saul of Tarsus. Persecution ...read more

    Authentic faith produces good things. This message is the first in a series on 1 & 2 Thessalonians. Thanks to Pastor Derrick Tuper for his thoughts that contributed to this message (see notation in text)

    Paul couldn’t stand it any longer. He had to know how the church in Thessalonica was doing. After all, he had poured himself into that congregation and sacrificed deeply to teach its members the gospel. But now Satan was attacking it with persecution, doubt, and trial. Were the believers ...read more

    The one thing Satan does not want is a Christian who is willing to stand on the Word of God regardless of the cost.

    The message this morning is “The enemy hates Hupomone.” Well, Bro. Barry, what is Hupomone? Hupomone is what we see in the life of Jesus. Hupomone is what we see in the life of the Apostle Paul. Hupomone is what we see in all those who say they are disciples of Jesus. In the Bible, Hupomone is ...read more
