    5 Characteristics Of A Generous Church Series

    Contributed by David Henderson on Sep 15, 2014
     | 6,460 views

    Now I want to admit something to you. As a young boy I will admit to you that the first time I tithed I wasn’t sure if I like it or not. Partly I suppose because no one asked me if I wanted to or not. He just chose to give my money away for me. Sort of like the government does.

    This lesson introduces this series by examining Matthew 16:13-19, showing that Jesus is the builder, architect, and owner of His church.

    Whenever we look at the religious landscape today that is known by the word “Christianity,” it seems clear that what we see is so different than what we see in the Bible.

    Breakthrough Prayer For My Church

    Contributed by Keith Broyles on Oct 7, 2014
     | 6,171 views

    As people of faith we need to be people of prayer but even more than that, people of breakthrough prayer, asking God to break through in situations where there is nothing else we can do. We need breakthrough prayer in our churches.

    It was July of 2012 and was a sad day for me. In my first sermon here I told you about Elwood, my first appointment. Elwood was a nice, quiet, quaint little church in Madison County.

    The Why And How Of Church Unity

    Contributed by Kayode Omotoso on Nov 15, 2014
     | 5,213 views

    We must be very clear on the fact that Jesus was very passionate about the unity of the church that He had to take it to God in prayer.

    Sometimes ago, I did a write up on the subject "Crisis in Christ". It borders on the competition and irreconcilable difference among the supposed believers in Christ and the different denominations they belong to. There appears not to be an end to the war tearing the body of Christ apart. Today, ...read more

    All the things that Paul had done - all the sacrifices he had made for the Kingdom - all that Luke could have told us about the Life and Ministry of Paul, he spends time to write about this boy named Eutychus who fell asleep and fell out of a 3rd Floor window.

TITLE: THE DANGER OF FALLING ASLEEP IN CHURCH SCRIPTURE: ACTS 20:7-12 This is a very interesting text that presents many Preachers a challenge to apply real practical application. ...read more
