  • Learning From The First Church

    based on 4 ratings
     | 2,569 views

    After the Day of Pentecost the first Church was a Learning, Expectant, Active, Generous, United, Evangelistic Church. We have much to learn!

    At the start of the year some of you were worried that I had developed a bit of a fixation with pews. If taken out of context it was possible to think that the new Vicar was calling for a return to pews in the church. Personally, I wondered if my reference to pews had anything to do with my concern ...read more

    What are the biblical characteristics of a growing church?

    Last time, as we focused on verses 11 and 12, we made note of the two essentials of church growth - gifted leadership (v. 11) and committed membership (v. 12). A church will never rise higher than the skills of the leadership and will go no farther than the commitment of the membership. Gifted ...read more

     | 15,848 views

    Part 1 - Introduction to a 13-part series on the origin, functioning, authority, and problems of the church of the first century; and the question of whether--or in what ways--we are to be like the earliest Christians.

    This 13-part series of classes has been many years in the making. About 25 years ago I began in earnest to examine the features, character and characteristics of the church as it existed in its earliest years. As I sometimes do, I kept my notes all along the way, and this series of classes is to a ...read more

  • I Am A Church Member

     | 6,459 views

    What does it mean to be a church member? What is expected of me? As members of a church we each hold a unique place in the church. As members of a church we each have certain responsibilities in the local body of believers.

    I AM A CHURCH MEMBER For many people, church membership simply means that we attend church, and we will do so until we cease to be happy where we attend, then we will find another church to attend. We think that being a church member is something that gives us the right to vote on matter that ...read more

    based on 6 ratings
     | 3,728 views

    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

     | 4,700 views

    some churches are closer to the NT ideal than others. The church at Thessalonica was in that category.

    TEXT: 1 Thessalonians 1:1-10 TITLE: WHAT EVERY CHURCH SHOULD BE No doubt you have heard people say, “If you ever find the perfect church, please don’t join it. If you do, it won’t be perfect any more!” Since local churches are made up of human beings, saved by God’s grace, no church is perfect. ...read more

IT IS GIVEN TO US TO PREACH AND TEACH THE WORD ...read more
