How many of you had zombie moments last week? How many of us Christians had moments during the week when we didn’t think or act godly?? - notice ...read more

     | 4,932 views

    The modern-day, Americanized church is a poor representation of the 1st Century church. We are confused about what we are.

    Don’t be Confused – (THE TERM) - #1 Matthew 16:13-19 * This morning I carry you on a brief journey on which, for the past couple of weeks, I have found myself. Quite honestly, this journey has been painful and helpful as well as hard and exciting. My first disclaimer is that my desire is not to ...read more

     | 6,992 views

    To be confused about the church begins with confusion about the truth for vice-versa.

    Don’t be Confused – about the truth John 18:36-38 * The first time I heard the term was during the Bill Clinton presidency. Of course I knew it went on, but I had never heard the term (in political jargon) ‘spin.’ Does everyone know what ‘spin’ actually is? My personal definition is something ...read more

    "Why Church Membership?”

    Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Jun 1, 2010
    based on 14 ratings
     | 28,759 views

    Is church membership a biblical idea? Why should one identify themselves with a local body of believers?

    There was a time when the role of the pastor and the place of the church were respected. A pastor was a person who was held in high esteem in the community just by virtue of his position, and the church was seem as an institution to respect. Those days, however, are gone. The church has fallen on ...read more

    This message is for a funeral of a godly young man who died after a long battle with cancer. It highlights four ways that death is gain for the believer.

    Philippians 1: 19-23 To Die Is Gain "For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." Death is not extinguishing the light from the Christian. It is putting out the lamp because the bright new glorious dawn has come. Our hearts grieve deeply over losing a champion of the faith, yet we are ...read more

    We are the church, the body of Christ based on what Christ has done for us in breaking down the wall of hostility and bringing us who were far very near. Because of the peace of Christ, we are now reconciled both to God and to one another.

    Oikos tou Theo: The Household of God Text: Ephesians 2:11-22 Introduction I’ve been sad and disappointed lately...and it has to do with a few families that decided to leave the church and other individuals who are pondering it themselves.

    Built Up, Bound Up, Lifted Up

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Feb 16, 2010
    based on 5 ratings
     | 12,248 views

    We are so into upward mobility; but God's version is different. It involves building us up so that the powerless have power; binding up the wounded so that they can understand brokenness; and lifting us up so that we can use our power for others.

    I can remember when the word "furlough" was a happy word. It was a happy word because it meant that somebody in your family was coming home from military duty for a while. "Furlough" for me brings up a memory of standing, as a small boy, in Union Station in Louisville, waiting for the train to ...read more

     | 11,448 views

    Annual sermon, D. C. Baptist Convention. Clergy and laity will be in conflict, but it can be creative when we recognize our humanness, turn our competitiveness in productivity, and learn to identify where God is already at work.

    I've done a little work through the years in helping ministers get positions on church staffs. Every Baptist minister, I guess, has done that. Where are the bishops when you really need them? But it's been fun to help young ministers, particularly those who were students of mine from my campus ...read more

    Who are we? Really who are we? As the body of Christ, the visible expression of Jesus the Messiah on the Earth, who are we? Are we who we’re supposed to be? Are we living to the fullest degree that Christ called us to? Or are we asleep? For if we a
