    A study about the church and a challenge to be a part of it.

The Pastor said to him, "You need to join the Army of the Lord!" The person replied, "I'm already in the Army ...read more

    You Can Be Sure About The Church

     | 4,384 views

    There are a lot of churches out there to choose from. Jesus only promised to build one, He only bled for one, He only died for one and He is the head of only one. Since Jesus established only one, how can we be sure we are members of that one church?

    Recognizing the Church (You can be sure part 2) Jesus promised to build only one church. Matthew 16:18, "and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it." Jesus shed His blood and died for only one church. Ephesians 5:25, "Husbands, love your wives, ...read more

    In 2 Chronicles 7:14 it states, "if my people who are called by my name will humble themsleves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways". There are wicked ways the church needs to turn from to experience revival.

    Why Does Your Church Need You?

    Contributed by Perry Anderson on Oct 6, 2013
     | 10,910 views

    We tend to think we go to church only to get, but in truth, we go to church to give. We don't go to church, we are the church and each member is valuable and needed.

    Just as it takes every ligament to hold a physical body together, it takes each member in the body of Christ to do their part in order for the church to be strong and hold together. When each part functions the body grows and stays strong. When a part of the physical body fails to function or is ...read more

     | 24,715 views

    We often think of forgetfulness as a weakness, as a problem. And more often than not that is true. But there is a time when forgetfulness becomes an absolute necessity. Paul says that ‘Love – keeps no record of wrongs’ He says that love is forgetful.

    In the middle of that list of what love is, Paul says that ‘Love – keeps no record of wrongs’ (v5). In other words what he is saying is that, as well as being patient, and kind and a whole host of other things – love is also forgetful! –‘ Love - keeps no record of wrongs’ Love is forgetful! Now ...read more
