    Identifying traits of a remarkable church.

    1 Thessalonians 1:2-10 A Remarkable Church Introduction In our first look at this letter to the Thessalonian church, we noted that Paul had established the work during his second missionary tour, and that Timothy and Silas had accompanied him in the work. We know that he preached at the synagogue ...read more

    The Body of Christ should be sound in doctrine and in Love (The way I did this, required a rose for everyone in the audience, BUT it was extremely effective) 4.88/dozen @ Wal-mart

    Intro: (Start w/Blank) PREACHER found a shoe box in a closet. Opened it and found strange contents. Inside was an egg carton with 5 eggs inside. Next to the eggs was a stack of bills that totaled over 10,000 dollars. As soon as his wife walked thru the door he stopped her to ask if she knew ...read more

    The Sound Of The Church

    Contributed by Riaan De Villiers on Oct 17, 2003

    The glory of God carries a sound and that sound has a message. The church must have a different sound than the world. What is the sound and message of the Church of God?

    1 Corinthians 14:7 – 8 1 Samuel 4:1 – 11; 7:2 – 11 I believe that everyone here will agree that every sound carries some sort of message. For instance, if your teenage child slams the door of his/her room, it carries the message of someone that is angry. Or, if you asked your children to wash the ...read more

    The "Normal" Church

    Contributed by Billy Kryger on Oct 20, 2003
    based on 29 ratings
     | 4,637 views

    "Normal" means "conforming to a standard". The Standard for our churches ought to be the Lord Jesus Christ. The church at Jerusalem gives us an excellent blueprint for how a church ought to be.

    INTRODUCTION: God wants every church to be a “normal” church. What is normal? Webster’s dictionary says, “conforming to a standard.” God has given the standard for His church. When we compare the church in the book of Acts with our churches today, we fall so far short of God’s standard. ...read more

    Corinth is a church with great resources, both material and spiritual, but it’s also a church with great responsibilities. It needs to recognise that it’s part of a world wide church and express that membership materially. And it needs to be on guard agai

    We tend to think of the world today as shrinking, getting smaller and smaller. For example, last week, Di and I boarded a plane in Melbourne and 2 hours later we were throwing off our jumpers and getting ready for a swim in the pool at Noosa. You can get on a plane this afternoon and by tomorrow ...read more

    What America needs is not more religion, but servants of the Most High God who will serve, proclaim and energize the Church.

    Serving Churches= Growing Churches A. What does the church really need to come alive today? Sometime ago Darrell Scott got the privilege to address the House Judiciary subcommittee. His daughter Rachel Joy Scott was one of victims of the Columbine High School massacre. Here is a synopsis of ...read more

    We have a problem today. Our body is missing parts. We have hands and feet, eyes and ears, arms and legs that are missing from this body.

    We have a problem today. Our body is missing parts. We have hands and feet, eyes and ears, arms and legs that are missing from this body.

    The Church At Ephesus Series

    based on 48 ratings
     | 12,754 views

    The Lord had three things to commend this church for, but the rebuke brought focus to the very real problem of loosing your love for Christ.

    As I believe the Lord is leading, it is imperative for us to consider exactly what type of church Jesus desires to have. While opinions and ideas could, and probably would run rampant concerning that topic, there is one place the answer may be clearly found. That is in God’s Word. While many ...read more

    This message deals with four prime objectives to be achieved on fulfilling our charge to this present age.

    We Need To talk! I want to chat with you from the subject “The Charge of the Church.” The Scripture upon which I base my argument is penned by John Mark in his Gospel Narrative: Mark 5:17-20. In that second stanza of Charles Wesley’s hymn “A Charge to Keep I Have,” he wrote: “To serve the present ...read more

    Becoming a New Testament, missions minded church.

    The Antioch Church Acts 11:19-26 Purpose Statement: To renew our focus on becoming a New Testament missions minded church In many churches these days, the buzz word is “purpose statement”.

    The church in Ephesus

    The Careless Church Rev 2:1-7 Muynak was once a thriving port on the Aral Sea, but today it sits on the edge of a bitter, salty desert. Sand dunes are strewn with the rusted, hollow hulls of a fishing fleet that once sailed high above on the surface of Central Asia’s fountain of life. Things ...read more

    Pergamum

    Pergamum: The Compromising Church Rev 2:12-17 One of biggest questions that I have struggled with since becoming a minister, and even before, is how wrong can a church be, and still be right? Some would say that is a simple question to answer, a church cannot be wrong at all! This week I got a ...read more
