    The Church Walking In Unity

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 19, 2022
     | 3,055 views

    Someone said, “The nearest thing to heaven on this earth is a church full of people who love the Lord, and each other.”

    I believe we all would concur with that statement. The Psalmist must have also felt this way, because he said in Psalm 133:1, “How good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!” Unity is a very important part of our life. It is important- • In the Home • In the Work ...read more

     | 2,738 views

    Today I want to talk to you about church planting, because all churches are not GOD PLANTED!

    HOW DOES GOD PLANT A CHURCH? CHURCH PLANTING is something like what a farmer does, he plants the seed, cultivates the seed, fertilizes the seed and then patiently waits for it to grow. Church planters basically do the same thing. They have to plant the seed (Gospel), cultivate the seed, ...read more

    Flies don’t land on a hot stove. A cold church is a dead church, but a hot church is alive.

    What does it mean to be a Church of Casual Christianity? How does a church become casual? Is it speaking of the church building or the church body? Or does it refer to the church members, the individual Christians? Look at the churches depicted in Revelation 2 & 3. • Ephesus – Revelation ...read more
