    Contributed by Kenneth Trent on Oct 30, 2004
    based on 36 ratings
     | 5,142 views

    The inclusiveness expressed in verse 20 reveals that, although He was referring to His disciples in particular in verses 13-19, He expanded His intercession to include all the church throughout time.

    THE PRAYER OF CHRIST FOR HIS CHURCH “But now I come to You, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have My joy fulfilled in themselves. I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. I do not pray that ...read more

    The commands of love in 1 Corinthians 13 aren’t just for wedding ceremonies, but for the Church and her ministry throughout the world.

    THE GREATEST NEED THE WORLD HAS TODAY IS FOR THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH TO SHOW THEM AND PROVE TO THEM THAT THERE REALLY IS SUCH A THING AS THE GENUINE, CHRIST-LIKE EXAMPLE OF AGAPE LOVE.

    A Prayer for the New (Church) Year

    Happy New Year! No, this is not a “Max Webber” greeting. Max (a member at St. Peter), as you know, likes to greet people with “Happy New Year!” no matter what time of year it is just to get a reaction. I, however, am very serious when I say “Happy New Year!” because even though January 1st is a ...read more

    Seven thing the church shouldbe doing

    WHAT IS THE BIBLICAL MISSION OF THE CHURCH? The church is here for a Divine purpose.

    We trumpet high impact ministry with all of its frills. Our services are filled with video clips, movie clips and unfortunately scripture clips. We take more time and efforts refining our delivery than we do making sure that what we are delivering has H

    In practically every gathering of ministers there is a subject that comes up; that subject is church growth. “How do we get people to come to church?” We have answered that question with a thousand books and yet by and large we are losing the battle for souls.

     | 14,603 views

    Whether or not a church has a God-given vision for how it is to partner with God in its work is eternally important.

    In the first part of Proverbs 29:18, we find a familiar portion of Scripture. Most Christians are familiar with the quote from the KJV: “Where there is no vision, the people perish.” The translation in the NIV gives us insight as to why people with no vision perish: “Where there is no revelation, ...read more
