    jesus gives the keys for the churches survival in a hostile world

    Intro: the other night a report was given that about 3000 churches close annually in the United States.

Did it get older and not make adjustments to minister to ...read more

    Did you know that only 15% of churches in America are healthy? Could God be asking us to change? If so, in what areas? How do we identify what God is wanting us to change?

    An interesting article that I found. “Age changes things.” Who changed everything when I wasn’t looking? I’ve noticed lately that everything is farther away than it used to be. It’s even twice as far to the corner now, and they’ve added a hill! I’ve given up running for the bus; it leaves much ...read more

    Did you know that God has rules about talking in Church? There is an entire chapter in the Bible that addresses this. It is 1 Cor. 14.

    Rules for Talking in Church 1 Cor. 14:1-39 When I was little, one thing I remember about going to church was that I was supposed to be quiet. My mom and dad made it clear that there were dire consequences for disobeying this rule. Even passing notes was considered breaking the rule. As far as ...read more

    There are some items that every church garden should have..

    The Church Garden – 2nd September 2007 pm This is the time of year that we come before the Lord to thank Him for His provisions. I think we take harvest for granted… What if our lives depended upon a harvest (like farmers etc..) maybe we would be a lot more thankful for what God has given us. Who ...read more

    Notice, this verse starts off with the word, “Beware.” Any time we see the word “Beware” we need to pay attention!

    Illus: If you are an insurance salesman and you drive up to a home that has a large sign on the gate of the fence that says, “Beware of bad dog”, you can not blame the owner if this vicious dog tries to eat your leg off before you get to the car. Life is filled with many things to BEWARE ...read more

     | 5,943 views

    If we desire to impact our community for Jesus Christ, then we need to be unified. Using the illustration of the church as a human body, Paul shared how a church that is divided will fail to function properly; or perhaps, even fail to survive.

    “A father asked his young son to break a bundle of sticks. He returned a little later to find the boy frustrated in the task. He had raised the bundle high and smashed it on his knee, but he only bruised his knee. He had set the bundle against a wall and stomped real hard with his foot, but the ...read more

    a church in a rut

    In our scriptures this morning, Paul is really ripping them up one side and down the other or so it seems.

    Paul tells us how we can function as the body of Christ and thus, present the likeness of Christ to a lost world.

    Once again, the Apostle Paul discusses the unity of the local church. Here he uses the picture of a body to speak about how we are to function in unity. From Paul’s discussion of how God sees His church as being like a body, we learn four things about how the body (the local church) is to function. ...read more
