     | 4,456 views

    The church today is not operating in God’s upside down, right side up principles. This is part 2 in a series that will give our churches some good direction in being the kind of Jesus had in mind.

    The living church community is a learning church - a sharing church - a worshipping church and a witnessing church

    The New Society Acts 2: 42-47 Margaret Thatcher is famously credited with having said ’there is no such thing as society’. And even though we remember the phrase, I think most of us have long forgotten the context in which it was said. No doubt it has been often taken out of context and ...read more

    The Holy Spirit does not work through a vacuum but through believers, the body of Christ. The first church set us a good example: Build on the foundation of God’s Word, build a strong fellowship, and make prayer a priority.

Something the apostles have not done before. • But it looks like a smooth start. ...read more

We cherish seeing loved ones all connected together, providing a picture that will produce memories for the ages. But family portraits can also be deceiving.
