    This is a simple sermon on the purpose of the church using the word CHURCH as an acrostic for the outline.

    CHURCH 1. The Church is not the building. 2. This sermon is an acrostic.

    The Church By Divine Design

    Contributed by Bruce Willis on Apr 26, 2007
    based on 7 ratings
     | 3,516 views

    This sermon is an evangelistic message based on the founding of the church by Jesus Christ as He talked with His disciples at Caesarea Philippi.

    When you’re going to build a house or similar structure, the first thing you get in mind is some design. You get a picture in mind and eventually put it on paper called a blueprint. Then you begin with a firm foundation upon which to build. That’s exactly what God did when He created the world, ...read more

    based on 24 ratings
     | 8,449 views

    I wonder today has the church lost something of value that we are willing to diligently seek after until we have found it. We tend to lose the anointing of God’s Spirit upon our lives and churches but we tend to move on in life like nothing has ever happe

    “Have You Lost Jesus?” Intro: If your child has ever wondered away from you as a parent and you thought they were lost, you understand the frightening feeling that comes in your heart when you feel you have truly lost something of great value.

    based on 79 ratings
     | 5,243 views

    We will consider how the Lord’s church started and what’s significant about it. In this text, I see these things: 1- powerful spirit 2- pointed message 3- penitent response

    INTRO.- What’s the big deal about the church? What’s so important about the church? Why go to church? What does it do for us? I’m sure these are some questions that the average American asks. And the answers they get from themselves or others are not very positive so they don’t go to ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,496 views

    The greatest virtue in the world is love. Without love, man cannot have abundant life. In actuality, without love man is nothing. Paul knew this. This is why he went before God and prayed that the Thessalonian church and its believers might grow in love,

    Biblical Text: 1 Thes. 3:9-13 (KJV) “For what thanks can we render to God again for you, for all the joy wherewith we joy for your sakes before our God; Night and day praying exceedingly that we might see your face, and might perfect that which is lacking in your faith?

    Are You A Revolutionary Part 4

    based on 3 ratings
     | 1,820 views

    The seven passions of a Revolutionary are defined for us in the book of Acts. These Scriptures are important to us because they describe the very nature of the life of the early church as it began to form immediately after Jesus returned to heaven.

    Are you a Revolutionary? Are you transforming your entire life to emulate that of Jesus Christ’s? Are you transforming your entire perspective to emulate that of Jesus Christ’s? Your spiritual practices? Your attitude? Your character? Your faith? Your relationships? Your behavior? God wants to do ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,787 views

    First in a series on the early church from Acts 1-4. This message deals with how to wait on God.

    Note: Although my outline is very similar to a great sermon by Medford Foskey on this same passage, I only read his sermon after completing most of the work on mine. However I did "steal" his opening story. “It is a sin to be good if God has called us to be great.” That is the first line from ...read more

    Fourth sermon in the summer 2006 Series, “Being God’s People by Serving, Obeying, and Giving.”

    What is love? Love has always been a big topic of discussion between us humans. Much is said about love and much is written about love. However, it seems to me that we have never been able to give a satisfactory answer to the question, ‘What is love?’ (1) But we are often able to describe love ...read more

     | 4,949 views

    Our church needs to be a place where broken people can recover.

    Today’s message is about recovery from brokenness. This has been a strength of MCC and I hope it always is. Jesus loves and heals broken hearted people. Let’s be a church that He can use in this process. Our passage for today is Luke 15(11-24). (Read Passage) Being lost or losing something is a ...read more
