     | 6,700 views

    We live in a world of compromise where people seek their own interests at any cost. People, in a sense, sell their souls for the pleasures of the world.

    Just like last time when we said that worldliness will corrupt a church, tonight we will see that compromise will also destroy a church. We live in a world of compromise where people seek their own interests at any cost. People, in a sense, sell their souls for the pleasures of the world. ...read more

    Many times churches become stagnant because of intolerance. They will not accept those different from themselves. That is why it seems surprising that Jesus himself delivers a message on intolerance.

    Intolerance has a negative connotation. Many times churches become stagnant because of intolerance. They will not accept those different from themselves. That is why it seems surprising that Jesus himself delivers a message on intolerance. But when a church tolerates someone who teaches or ...read more

     | 7,701 views

    Revisit what caused growth in the early church and apply it to what will bring growth to your church today.

    One thing which has characterized the church over history is opposition, and that opposition, rather than driving the church away, has provided for church growth. When your convictions come under fire, when they are tested, you will come to embrace them or reject them. When Christianity is ...read more

    The Importance Of Our Church's Vision

     | 14,700 views

    Whether or not a church has a God-given vision for how it is to partner with God in its work is eternally important.

    In the first part of Proverbs 29:18, we find a familiar portion of Scripture. Most Christians are familiar with the quote from the KJV: “Where there is no vision, the people perish.” The translation in the NIV gives us insight as to why people with no vision perish: “Where there is no revelation, ...read more

    This is a study of the church of Pergamos in the book of Revelation. This is a controversial subject but takes a conservative approach to understanding the book.

    Lesson 9: Sin In The Church Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Nov 8, 2010
     | 3,896 views

    Handling sin in the church has become very difficult from both angles - in our PC world much bad behavior is actually celebrated, but Christians are also wounding each other over weakness instead of supporting and helping. We'll try to walk the fine line

    In Chapter 5 we move from pride of surface appearance over internal substance to pride over major sin in the body. It's issue two on Paul's mind as he writes to the Corinthians. It's a tough subject—sin in the church. This chapter can easily be misconstrued in several ways and I want to try ...read more
