    Church is a foreign, strange enviroment to seekers. How can we develop into a place of welcome as the church? What habits can we adopt that will make us the place of welcome that God wants us to be?

    Corinth has been long noted as a church with problems… and one of those problems was disruptions, disruptions during worship.

I Cor. 11:1-16 "Church Order" He came shuffling in… the service had already begun… almost no one noticed him yet everyone noticed him. He smelled of B.O., ...read more

When you hear a report like this the first thought is I wonder what attributed to the decline and closure of a church. Did it lose vision? Did it get older and not make adjustments to minister to ...read more

    1. We are called to be a confessing Church.

    May all women rise up within the leadership of the church and find their rightful place.

    WOMEN IN MINISTRY. WOMEN AS PASTORS. WOMEN LEADING IN THE CHURCH.

    The body of Christ loves to be entertained. If it doesn’t have a beat or doesn’t arouse our flesh, most of us don’t like it. We call it boring. Teenagers don’t know what to do with themselves when they go to church because they think it’s boring most of t

    By: Donna Kazenske I went to a church service at a particular church a short time ago and was totally amazed at what I heard and saw.
