    Saving The Local Church And Pastor From Extinction. Series

    Contributed by Jan Oosthuizen on Aug 18, 2019
     | 3,220 views

    More and more people are leaving local institutional churches and pick and choose their spiritual diet on social media. Evangelism, and belonging to a local body of believers is on the increasing decline!

For as long as I can remember, there has always been a tension between the local church pastor and the staff of parachurch organisations. Parachurch organisasions work outside and across denominations to ...read more

    Ninth in a series from Ephesians. The church should matter to us because it matters to God.

    We can stray away from Jesus if we have the wrong ambitions for our churches.
