    Be Focused On People, Not Property Series

    It is important to note that the church is comprised of people. It is not a building. If we fail to remember this fact, we might make the mistake of directing our energies into preserving property instead of rescuing those who are perishing.

    In Matthew 16:18, we read where Jesus said to Peter, “You are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.” When Jesus stated that He would build His church “on this rock,” He was not referring to the location where they were standing, and He ...read more

    There are simply far too many Christians out there who have this mistaken belief that church is just something that you go to for an hour or an hour and a half on Sunday morning. The truth is — you don’t go to church; you are the church!

    TITLE: BE THE CHURCH SCRIPTURE: ROMANS 16:1-2 I want to continue with Part-iii of our series entitled “THE CHURCH SERIES.” • First message of this series was entitled “The Church” • Last Sunday message entitled “The Church Has Left the Building” • This morning I want to tag this message “Be the ...read more

    There comes a time in an individual’s life when they must come to a conclusion of what is real and what is fantasy.

    I’m sure of one thing, no one jumps up and down when the Lord calls them to a place they have never been, or like me, you go scratching, clawing and crying to hang on to where you are

    GO WHERE? Genesis 12:1-4 Now the Lord had said to Abraham: “Get out of your country, from your kindred from your fathers house, to a land that I will show you. I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, ...read more

    There is a direct correlation between the effectiveness of our mission and how we treat each other. We must be the church before we can build the church. We must care for one another before we can hope to reach this community and county for Christ

    Mayor Gerardo Balmori The Salvation Army As we continue in our series through the Book of Nehemiah, we’ve learned that Nehemiah confronted a different challenge in each chapter: • In chapter one, he was faced with a personal challenge. When he heard about what was happening in Jerusalem, he sat ...read more

    As we celebrate the Feast of Pentecost we appreciate the ministry of the Holy Spirit, without Whose presence in it, this church, every church, would only be a gathering of people.

    SERMON – Every church a Pentecostal church Today is Pentecost, which some people call Whitsun or White Sunday, because priests and ministers used to wear white robes to symbolise the Holy Spirit who came down on Jesus in the form of a dove immediately after he had been baptized by Jordan in ...read more

    Am I A Whitewashed Christian?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Oct 14, 2022
     | 1,464 views

    A Christian is one who follows Christ and has taken on the instructions, directions, guidance, and characteristics that Christ gave to us. Secondly, what is whitewashed? It is the concealment or covering of flaws, failures, blemishes, or unpleasant facts.

    This is the story of two men who prayed. Undoubtedly many have read or at least heard of this story. So why did I title this sermon "Am I a Whitewashed Christian? Well first, let me ask this, what is a Christian? A Christian is one who follows Christ and has taken on the instructions, ...read more
