    How can one describe what God has given in this church, with the successes of the past year? How describe human needs, especially for the Gospel? And how describe the opportunities for inclusive worship, honest learning, and artistic expression?

    Once upon a time a certain church was in an uproar. Some said that the pastor was not performing according to expectations. And so complaints were brought to the deacons, who met to consider the issue, and asked those who were grumbling, “What is the problem with the pastor?” One disaffected ...read more

    Guarding Against Faith Fakers

    Contributed by Bob Joyce on Nov 27, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,855 views

    The church has the task to root out those who profess faith in Christ, but in reality they are faking their faith in order to destroy the church

    As we consider the sea of apostasy around us and the effectiveness of faith fakers activity in today's church, it seems as though the church has little hope in stemming the tide. But according to the book of Jude, not only can we stem the tide, we can take positive action to deal directly with ...read more

    The Day of Pentecost marks the beginning of an authentic ministry for the disciples of Jesus, and we need such an experience to be effective in ministry, especially as we prepare people to come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.

    REFLECTIONS ON THE DAY It was a unique occurrence. On that day, the setting was right and the atmosphere was conducive for a mighty move of God.

    Mothers’ Day sermon: We need the structure of the home, for there is no substitute for moral living, which means there is no substitute for authentic religious teaching, which in turn means there is no substitute for responsible parenting.

    Lord, help the poor soul who serves as a substitute teacher. When I was a schoolboy and our teacher had to be away, we plotted what we were going to do to that substitute. There was something about the idea that we would have her for only one or two days and would likely never see her again. ...read more

    Nothing should hold us back when we worship the Lord. Our worship must be pure and authentic. That is why God's desire for us is to be released from the bondage of Satan.

    Today, we will be going to Exodus chapter 9. We will study the statements of God in answer to Pharaoh's stubbornness. What does God desire that is of utmost importance? What does God caution us against? What are the consequences of disobedience? May the Lord give us understand on these ...read more
