    Why Are We Here? Series

    Contributed by Brad Bailey on Jul 22, 2009
     | 5,218 views

    The very reason we gather is in response to the Divine call of God and His purposes. The problem is that the ideas we associate with “church” can come to mean so much less.

    Why are you here? That’s the question I want to begin with today. We might naturally divide that question as to whether it refers to being here in terms of existing… or being here in this gathering. I’m referring to BOTH our purpose for being here in terms of existing… as well as being ...read more

    It's amazing how quickly we settle for less that what is promised and possible. So what do we do with Jesus' outlandish promises about power for living?

    “Setting Troubled Hearts at Rest: Power for the Future” John 14:7-14 In one of Charles Schultz's ‘Peanuts’ cartoons Snoopy, the hound of heaven, says of Woodstock, that would-be bird of paradise, "Someday Woodstock is going to be a great eagle." Then in the next frame he ...read more

    Without the involvement of the ancient Africans, we would not have Christianity with us today, much less the nation of Israel. Without Africa - you and I, we would be toast.

    In the New Testament, the “meaning” of baptism is two-fold: it is a burial to old life and resurrection new! Understanding the second part is no less important than understanding that baptism is for the remission of sins.
