    The church today is called to be an Acts 29 church. This message reveals what is required to continue the ministry and mission of the church in Acts,

    INTRODUCTION * WE are Acts 29: we are living in the unfinished chapter of the church’s ministry * Our journey through Acts saw the church’s beginning, success, and some failures * Acts ends with Paul under house arrest and using that house as a base of operation as he shares the Gospel ...read more

    God uses different means to bring us to our knees. When we really fervently pray, mighty things will take place. Let the church rise to her full potential by collectively calling on His name.

    WHEN THE CHURCH PRAYS Acts 12:1,5-18 In the last few verses of chapter 11, we see a great revival in Antioch. There the disciples were first called christians. The Spirit had done a great work in their lives, in that they laid aside enough of their carnal self to become identified as ...read more

    Unity And Purpose In The Church

    Contributed by Anthony Lacy on Feb 23, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 13,703 views

    A short message for any time of the year (but would be useful as a new year message) that draws the attention of believers to their responsibility to demonstrate the message of Christ in their local church.

    Unity and Purpose. I feel drawn this morning to give a short message on Unity and Purpose in the Church of Jesus Christ. When thinking about this topic it prompted me to think about the word “Unity” and ask myself what it means. The dictionary defines unity as Concord; harmony; ...read more

    "What Is Going On In The Church?"

    Contributed by Gerald Roberts on Mar 9, 2015
     | 5,934 views

    As Jesus enters the temple he is alarmed and begins to throw out, over turn, and displeased with the church of that day.

    What is going on in Church? John 2:13-22 That is probably the question Jesus asked himself when going to the Temple and seeing the things that were going on. What is going on in the church? Jesus doesn’t see what should be going on ...read more

    Jesus enjoins us to do the will of the Father, but learning how to do God's will is a lifelong journey.

    Thursday of the 1st Week in Advent Joy of the Gospel When I read this passage from the great prophet of Advent, the Hebrew priest Isaiah, my memory goes back almost ten years to our pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Both the Old and New Testaments contain a recurring theme, one we see most perfectly ...read more

    The Inclusiveness Of The Church Age

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 20, 2020
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,478 views

    ALL who are in Christ Jesus are accepted by God. We have no right to refuse any whom God has received.

    THE INCLUSIVENESS OF THE CHURCH AGE. Isaiah 56:1, Isaiah 56:6-8. The idea here seems to be that the community of God’s people should “preserve justice and do righteousness” (Isaiah 56:1). The reason is not far to seek: “for My salvation is near to come, and My righteousness to be revealed”. ...read more

    The Roles Of Women In The Church Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on May 20, 2005
    based on 104 ratings
     | 17,631 views

    This is among the most controversial sections in the Bible. Paul appears on the surface to be against women, but if you look at the context there is much more here - and more important issues than how we dress and act.

    There is no doubt that 1 Timothy 2 is among the most controversial passages of Paul’s writings. In this chapter it appears as if Paul calls men to pray and women to shut up - while dressed in sackcloth and ashes - staying home barefoot and pregnant. Although it is short - only 15 verses - it is ...read more

     | 10,288 views

    In an atmosphere of false teachings that sought to confuse the church and split it. John writes here about the true fellowship of the church and how we can recognize it.

    Today I want to begin a series on the book of I John. It is believed by most that John, the disciple whom Jesus loved, was the author of this letter. He wrote this letter before he was exiled to the island of Patmos. Many put the date at around 85-90 A.D., which is real close to the date that ...read more

    What is our vision for the coming year? Is our church an under-taker, care-taker or risk-taker?
