    What does it mean to be in Christ? Let’s allow the Bible to tell us. Several churches claim that eternal life is only available within their walls. Who does Jesus say will have eternal life?

    How can we build the church, and make disciples? Work toward unity, build on the strengths of all, and speak the truth in love.

    Reconstructive Surgery On The Body Of Christ

    I believe today the church is more divided than at any time since the day of Pentecost when she had her birth. This is a sickness, and the patient is close to terminal!

    If I were allowed to be the one to make the choice of what the church, the entire body of Christ, should have as the main focus, I would choose surgery – reconstructive surgery to put the body back in a healing mode. I believe today the church is more divided than at any time since the day of ...read more

     | 17,508 views

    Living in Christian community means: 1. Unity in love. 2. Focusing on Jesus. 3. We lose ourselves in service.

    What Is Community? John 17:15-21 I talked with a friend and her husband from another town this week who are having trouble with their teenage daughter. They have been to court several times because she is completely out of control. They have also taken her to professional counselors who have ...read more

    IN the aftermath of the VA Tech massacre, we need to respond by allowing the world a "Glimpse of the Love of God" through us, the church.

    “WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS NOW” 1 John 4:7-12 The 1960’s were tumultuous at best. A lot of the cultural seeds planted in the 60’s are being harvested today. This past week we have been shocked into disbelief at the gunning down of 30+ college students who, without warning, through no fault of their ...read more

    Today we look at how the marriage union is designed to reflect/display the church’s union with Christ (5:28-33).

    We are finishing up chapter five of Ephesians in our series, Brought to Life; Brought Together. We started this section by looking at God’s vision of marriage, to display Christ’s relationship with his church (5:31-32). Then we looked at Paul’s instruction to wives to respect and follow their ...read more

    The presence of God will never be revealed to us, through us, or in us, if we don’t receive our gifts and employ them in unity.

    Receive Grace: To Present Christ (Together) Ephesians 4:1-16 Pastor Jim Luthy What we have learned so far from Paul’s letter to the church in Ephesus is that we are to pursue understanding and receive grace. Having pursued understanding, we know that we are blessed in the heavenly realms, ...read more

     | 6,893 views

    Using the metaphor of a body, I believe that for this church to function properly as Christ would have it function, as well as each us individually, there are certain body parts that ALL of us must possess.

    WHAT THE BODY OF CHRIST NEEDS I CORINTHIANS 12:12-18 INTRODUCTION: Throughout the New Testament the church is likened to a physical body made up of many members each functioning in a different capacity but all being part of the same unity and working together for the proper functioning and benefit ...read more

    Don’t let the mystery and the power of the cross ever be substituted for anything less. Not the law, not wisdom - just the power of the cross.

    Title: How to not love God Text: 1 Cor 1:17 – 31 MP: As unreasonable as it is, the cross is still more powerful than any sign or logic It’s always dangerous to use a Monty Python sketch to bring out the truth of a Scripture, but in this case, you’ll see, the shoe fits. But, seeing as this ...read more
