    Peter says that God views his church as being His chosen nation.

    Peter uses the imagery of the church being God’s chosen nation even as Israel was in the days of the Old Testament. Note the similarities between what Peter says about the church in our text and what God told Moses to tell the Israelites: “‘Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out ...read more

    New Years Day message casting the vision for a new year

    Well, here we are about 2000 years down the road from that first church. I’m sure if Peter and John had of ever discussed the future of the Christian church that they could not have envisioned what it would be like 2000 years later. I mean 2000 years! The Jewish religion wasn’t even 2000 years ...read more

     | 7,301 views

    What does the portrayal of the church being like a golden lampstand say about how God sees His church?

    One of the principles associated with spiritual maturity is that spiritual maturity comes from learning to see things from God’s perspective. When I come to see things as God sees them, it makes all the difference in the world. When I learn to see those without Christ as God sees them, I develop ...read more

    Paul tells us how God views His church as being His temple and how this should serve to unify us.

    "To dwell above with saints we love, O that will sure be glory. But to dwell below with saints we know, We; that’s a different story!” Sad to say, the fellowship of too many churches can be described by that little jingle. But while that may be so, it is not what God desires, nor is it what needs ...read more

    Paul's judgment reveals the redemptive purpose of discipline - for the sinner as well as for the purity and witness of the church.

    Paul, like a spiritual father, admonishes the Corinthians whom he regards as his spiritual children. • He cares for them like a nursing mother and corrects them like a father would, urging them to walk in a manner worthy of God. (cf. 1 Thess 2:7,11) • Paul taught them in word and by his example, ...read more
