    Called Out: The Role Of The Church

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 14, 2022
     | 2,090 views

    When we hear the word "church", most of us think of a building or membership in a particular denomination with standards, beliefs, and guidelines for worship, order, the reading and use of Scripture, and sermons. The problem is that far too many people now view the church as a symbol ...read more

Koplitz ?43 After athe two days He went forth from there into Galilee. 44 For Jesus Himself testified ?that aa prophet has no honor in his own country. 45 So when He came to Galilee, the Galileans ?received Him, ahaving seen ...read more

    Tough questions for Churches “Is it working?” and “How do we know?”. We want to help disciples grow, but it’s difficult to know if we are helping through the growth of the church these days.
