    Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Feb 13, 2018
     | 27,815 views

    It is vitally important in those matters on which God directs the actions of man, to know, upon what authority anyone presumes to know God’s desires and commandments, and to express them to others. What authority did the earliest Christians recognize?

    This 13-part series of classes has been many years in the making. About 25 years ago I began in earnest to examine the features, character and characteristics of the church as it existed in its earliest years. As I sometimes do, I kept my notes all along the way, and this series of classes is to a ...read more

     | 5,727 views

    Anyone can hate someone else for no apparent reason but we cannot love someone without any reason. We all have a reason why we love someone, something, someplace, etc. What is the reason to love the Church

    The Church existed because of people loving each other. It goes to show that if we truly love our Church, we must show how much we love the people in our Church. Here are simple ways to show our love for the people in our Church: Do not neglect meeting together (Hebrews 10: 25). We have a ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,853 views

    If we are going to see the church multiply we must never be lacking in zeal, we must be joyful in hope, and we must not be overcome by evil. The church in America has gotten complacent and lazy, so have we! We must be diligent if we are to improve.

    If We Are Going To See The Church Multiply Romans 12:1-21 Read Rom. 12:1-21 INTRO: Ever since the first of this month when Mike and I went to Dallas, TX for the Right Now Conference I have been convicted. I have been convicted in some ways that I have failed in ministry. But in other ways I ...read more

    Eighth in this series. The Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector reveals that I either come to church to impress God or to be impressed by God.

    Note: Since this message was presented in the form of a table that summarized the two reasons for coming to church some formatting may not look right. Let me begin with a question this morning. I don’t want to embarrass anyone, so I’m not going to ask you for a show of hands or ask you ...read more

     | 11,098 views

    God's design: Men who mobilize men and women for ministry.

    One of the dangers of topical preaching, like the series that we’re in the midst of right now, is that for me as a pastor, it’s easy to focus on topics that I’m comfortable with and to ignore others that may not be quite as comfortable for me or for you. The other danger is that ...read more

    Jesus Heals An Evil Spirit In The Church

    Contributed by Bruce Lee on Oct 5, 2014
    based on 8 ratings
     | 17,346 views

    It is naïve to think that an evil spirit can’t come into a church. Or invade your home, or think that you are immune to the devils attacks. This is the first example of Jesus' power to heal the spiritual afflictions that possessed the human soul.

    Jesus Heals an Evil Spirit in the Church “In the synagogue there was a man possessed by a demon, an impure spirit.” Luke 4:31-37 Intro: The city of Capernaum was on the northwest shore of the Sea of Galilee. It was a fishing village and along the major route about 200 miles from ...read more

    The Kind Of Church I Want Mine To Be

    Contributed by Grant Adams on Jan 31, 2020
     | 4,142 views

    The only institution which Christ founded upon this earth is His Church. He established it more than 1900 years ago. The Church began with just a handful of believers, but through the years many have felt the power of the Gospel message as it was brought to them through the churches.

    Some people say today that the influence of the Church is diminishing, but we know that it is still a mighty power in the hearts and lives of millions of people. Men may curse the Church today, but few, I know would want to live in a community where there is no Christian influence, no church. They ...read more
