    If you sat down and asked what does the church need today, what would be your answer? A lot of times we think of the material things, but God is more interested in the people that make up the church. What are the needs of the people? I hope to answer that question for us all.

    The 2nd and 3rd chapters of Revelation, tell us of real churches in real places. These churches also are representative of different ages of church history.

    This message covers important material. Our lives must be committed to Christ and we DO NOT keep sinning just because grace covers that. That is evil. We are to be slaves to righteousness because we have been set free. However some have a foot in both camps. Is that possible?

    based on 9 ratings

    Jesus drew from the same raw materials that He draws from today when He calls men and women to be His disciples. In this series, we are looking at each of the Twelve as in-depth as we can, based upon what we can know and discern from the Scripture.
