    Church is the people that make up the Body of Christ. We are the Body of Christ, and He, that is Jesus, is the Head of this Body. Church is two or more believers gathered in the name of Jesus for the express purpose of worshiping God.

    Churches are People, TOO Acts 15:22-41 Introduction: Today we are going to look at Church. Church, such a formal sounding word, a stately word, and, according to the secular world, there are many definitions for this word. Here are a few: 1. A building for public, especially Christian worship. ...read more

    Many people often ask, what is the Christian church and what do we believe? This message is a description of New Testament Christianity

    “What is the Christian Church?” Introduction: A lot of people have the mindset that it does not matter where they go to church, as long as they are going. I do not think that this is the truth. First of all, the church is not a building, and many places that have the word church on their ...read more

    What is it that makes for a strong Christian Community? Moses identifies three underpins of the Church -- The Family Incubator, The Word of God and the assurance of God’s gracious love.

    Pentecost 2 A Deuteronomy 11:18-21; 26-28 Underpinnings for the Church of God 06/02/02 I would guess that’s not a word that you use in your everyday vocabulary.

    The body of Christ is being built up until all of us come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to maturity, to the measure of the full stature of Christ.

    We come today to the core issue of the letter: If we're to fulfil our destiny as a church, if we're to demonstrate the manifold wisdom of God then we must be united in heart and mind.

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Oct 6, 2024
     | 615 views

    Too often we put everything toward the church building and programs, and at the same time we are denying the church body.

    Previously, David had instructed Solomon about the Temple. Now in this passage of Scripture, the people bring gifts for the Temple. It is feasible for us to be so fixated on a church building that we have disregard of the genuine church, God’s children. Yet, the contrary reaction, ignoring the ...read more

    A sermon for Church Anniversary

    Jesus said, ‘every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who brings out of his treasure-store both the new and the old.’ This rather odd little verse is probably a kind of signature from the writer of the Gospel.
