    The Perfect Church

    Contributed by Steven Chapman on Jun 16, 2005
    based on 134 ratings
     | 40,573 views

    Many people are looking for the perfect church - yet they don’t have a clue where to find it. These three verses from Colossians give us a snapshot of the perfect church - and it might be the church your at.

    The Perfect Church Colossians 3:12-14 In my time in ministry, I have heard more than once the statement, “If you find the perfect church don’t join it because it will no longer be perfect.” I’m not sure, but I have a suspicion that something was being hinted at in that statement. What do you ...read more

    Praying For The Church Series

     | 3,371 views

    The knowledge of the will of God is both the thing that will guide our living and the thing that’ll assure us of our final destiny. But it’s primarily a means to an end. It’s the means by which we can do what is pleasing to God. It’s the means by which we

    The reason we’re following this series on the prayers of St Paul is first because if we’re going to pray to God, then it’s good to know something about the God we’re praying to. You could say that the way we pray shows the way we think about God. If your view of God is of someone a bit like Santa ...read more

    Purpose Driven Concepts. Five Purposes presented as an acrostic - SHINE. Second Sermon in this Series - God’s Committed Community.

    God’s Committed Community: The Purpose of The Church Last week we looked at the Nature Of The Church and we found that the Bible calls the church: 1. A FELLOWSHIP. 2. A FAMILY. 3. A BODY. 4. A FLOCK. Each one of these terms gives us a different understanding of The Church and shows how The ...read more

    The Molecular Church

    Contributed by Dennie Mitchel on Nov 2, 2004

     | 1,955 views

    Since individuals are the church at its most basic level; how are we supposed to live?

    The Molecular Church In 1665, the English physicist Robert Hooke looked at a sliver of cork through a microscope lens and noticed it was made up of individual parts. He realized that cork was made up of smaller sections he called cells because they looked like the cells that monks lived in. That ...read more

    The homosexual issue has become an issue in the church. This message deals with this issue from a Biblical perspective.

    “Homosexuality And The Church” INTRODUCTION: The issue of “Homosexuality And The Church” has been on the front page of newspapers this past week … and on every newscast. Rev.

    In this introductory sermon, we learn about the beginning of the church at Thessalonica.

    Introduction: A. The story is told of two preachers who were standing by the side of a highway holding up two signs. One read, “The end is near!” The other held a sign that said, “Turn around before it’s too late!” 1. As a car approached, they lifted their signs, ...read more

    The Insignificant Church

    Contributed by Terry Blankenship on Oct 14, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,594 views

    Do we really make a difference in this world? Has the church become insignificant today? Churches have a high calling to honor God in their attitudes and actions.

    Hebrews 10:23-25 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so ...read more

    based on 9 ratings
     | 13,425 views

    An explanation of what the Rapture is, and what the Bible says about when it will occur.

    Each time we observe Communion, we read the passage in 1 CORINTHIANS 11 that tells us to eagerly look forward to the return of Christ. But nobody knows when that will be. Today, we will find out what we are supposed to do with that information. Let me begin by telling you a story of a man who ...read more

    Prayer For The Church

    based on 1 rating
     | 7,421 views

    The church and our nation don't seem to be in a good spot and need much prayer. The church in Ephesus was in a similar spot and Paul knew that they needed prayer desperately. Have we been focusing on praying for the church in our nation?

    Opening illustration: A friend told me about a neighbor who years ago spent most of his spare time planting trees. The man seldom watered the young trees because he thought that too much watering spoiled them. (He came from the “no pain, no gain” school of plant care.) Pampered trees, ...read more

     | 3,624 views

    After focusing on discipling each other within the church, we turn our attention to disciple making together AS the church.

    Let’s get to our passage. Turn over to Matthew 28. This passage might be pretty familiar to you, but that’s ok. When you get to Matthew 28, we’ll read verses 19-20. Pay attention to this passage…as it lays the foundation for what we’re studying today. Let’s read ...read more

    The Church Is A Community Series

    Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Jul 6, 2022
     | 2,678 views

    This sermon focuses on the idea that the Church is not simply a building where people gather, but it is a spiritual community of called out people of God who are commissioned to carry out His mission on earth.

    Can anybody tell me what date it is today? The 25th. So what does that mean happened about a month ago? Christmas. You guys are sharp. Very good. It was Christmas a month ago. It is hard to believe. This week I was reflecting on some of the great gifts I received this past Christmas. I ...read more

     | 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
