    Four Myths About The Church

    Contributed by James Lee on Dec 4, 2015
     | 7,493 views

    I would like to thank Pastor Jerry Shirley for sharing. It has been a blessing as well as a great help as I spend my days caring for my dying father.

    “Four Myths about the Church” Math16: 18 The church is THE vehicle that God uses to push back the darkness and change our world. I think we need a reminder, today, that there was a group of men and women who have gone before us, here at EBC, who boldly proclaimed the gospel of Jesus ...read more

    “Does Church really Matter? Acts 9:18-30” Today we begin looking for Easter and many will be preparing for egg hunts and the like. Sermons are preached today about the triumphal entry as Jesus made His way into Jerusalem. The crucifixion will be the topic ...read more

    Should Churches Do Business?

    Contributed by Jeff Van Wyk on Aug 3, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 10,317 views

    A church should be an active, contributing member of its community, rather than a closed-off mini-community that keeps to itself and this can extend to becoming involved in business or in the business community.

    Churches in business Luke 19:13 - So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, “Do business till I come.” God always intended for the priesthood to reinvest a portion of the tithe, with the expectation of a return. It was part of His plan to show ...read more

    Ephesus is one of the churches that got things half right, yet entirely wrong. The church must have doctrinal purity, but not at the expense of love.

    Unto the Church in Ephesus, Write Revelation 2:1-7 Introduction Last week, we were introduced to the magnificent vision of Christ which John saw, which left him as though he were dead. This was similar to the vision that several of the Old Testament prophets had seen with a similar feeling of ...read more

    I Will Build My Church

    Contributed by Jason Smith on Sep 12, 2013
     | 8,155 views

    There are many misconceptions about what Jesus' universal church is. Is it a denomination? Is it all churches combined into one? Is it the clergy? This sermon deals with many of these misconceptions and shows what God reveals about His church.

    In the context of Matthew 16, we see what many people think about Jesus. It is interesting that so many people saw His miracles and signs, and had such contrasting responses. This seems to be the main point of this section we will look at today. Many saw the miracles and signs (the Sadducees and ...read more

    They Were A Spirit-Filled Church Series

    Contributed by Ralph Jenkins on May 28, 2013
     | 9,101 views

    We have before us today a picture of the model church. You’ve heard me say; “if our church could be any kind of church our church wanted to be what kind of church would our church be?” The answer is found here in Acts 2:42-47.

    They Were a Spirit Filled Church Acts 2:42-47 We began our study in Acts 1-2 with the idea that God was able to do so much in and through the first church because of their belief. They believed in all that Jesus ever began to and teach, they believed in the resurrection, they believed in the ...read more
