    based on 7 ratings
     | 11,643 views

    Paul explains how the church is a really "big deal" in the plan of God and how it should, therefore be a "big deal" to us.

    A word that Paul uses in our passage for today is one that he also uses elsewhere in this book. That word is “mystery. The word “mystery,” is used by Paul in verses 3, 4, 6, & 9. What is Paul referring to when he uses this word? The word, “mystery” might make us think of Agatha Christie, Sherlock ...read more

    The sermon emphasizes the vital role of encouragement within the church, showing how our words and presence strengthen one another through life’s challenges.

    Church family, have you noticed how a simple sentence at the right time can steady your soul? A text that says, “I’m praying for you.” A hand on the shoulder with a whisper, “You’re not alone.” Those small syllables become like shelter in a storm. They warm a cold day. They remind your heart that ...read more

    Contributed by Christopher Roberts on Dec 14, 2001
    based on 127 ratings
     | 10,144 views

    What exactly is the church ... A community center, a social action organization, or a gathering of people set apart from a sinful world and set apart to a life devoted to God’s calling? Peter, the rock, helps us define the true purpose of the church.

    Please e-mail me with any comments or if you use any part of this at your church at Mail4ChrisR@aol.com. I would love to hear about it. God Bless! - Chris To define the church there is no better place in the Bible to look than at the 16th Chapter of Matthew and Peter’s confession at Caesarea ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,230 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

     | 5,970 views

    We as God’s community will only know full satisfaction when our wealth is in Christ, when our vision is His vision, when our self-concept is bound up in our identity in Christ, and when our clothing is His righteousness.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,245 views

    As Christians we are chosen by God to join others in a church community where we find belonging, significance, love, and where we serve one another. A church is not about catering to our own individual needs and wants.

    The Special WE September 6, 2009 1 Pet 2:9-12 Intro: We are special. That is a true statement, and an important one. We are special – we, the people of God called Laurier Heights Baptist Church are special. As true as the statement is, it is problematic. We hear “special”, and think ...read more
