There are some ingredients that can be omitted and it will ruin the whole dish. There ...read more

    Many people often ask, what is the Christian church and what do we believe? This message is a description of New Testament Christianity

    “What is the Christian Church?” Introduction: A lot of people have the mindset that it does not matter where they go to church, as long as they are going. I do not think that this is the truth.

    God uses different means to bring us to our knees. When we really fervently pray, mighty things will take place. Let the church rise to her full potential by collectively calling on His name.

    A short message for any time of the year (but would be useful as a new year message) that draws the attention of believers to their responsibility to demonstrate the message of Christ in their local church.

    Unity and Purpose. I feel drawn this morning to give a short message on Unity and Purpose in the Church of Jesus Christ. When thinking about this topic it prompted me to think about the word “Unity” and ask myself what it means. The dictionary defines unity as Concord; harmony; ...read more

    I have heard it said that Baptists favorite book in the Bible is the Book of Numbers. We are always looking for nickels, numbers and noses. Or is it bodies, buildings and budgets…or people, properties and payola? Too often, we seek more! But Jesus lost

    Sometimes we should rejoice in the death of a church rather than mourn. After a long painful disease, we express relief when a person passes into Glory. Many churches suffer a slow and painful death. Out of that death life and renewal may come.
