    Horizontal Or Vertical Divide

    Contributed by Terry Hovey on Feb 18, 2023
     | 1,003 views

    God doesn't divide between us horizontally, that's what we do. God divides between us vertically. Saved or not saved. In Christ or not in Christ. He shows no favoritism, and we shouldn't either.

    Horizontal or Vertical Divide James 2:1-13 Many years ago when Terri and I were living in Bowling Green, KY, we were members of a very large church for a while. This church was so large that they had two of everything—two Sunday morning worship services and two Sunday School services. Now, I have ...read more

     | 9,651 views

    James speaks abruptly to believers who recognize status. This message teaches that all people matter because the ground is level at the cross.

    All People Matter To God James 2:1-12 * Let’s begin tonight by reviewing our “Core Values”. 1) The Bible is our guide book. 2) God loves us and has a plan for us. 3) All People matter to God. 4) We seek to honor God in all we do. 5) The Local church (that’s us) is the hope of the world.

    Intolerable Tolerance Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,272 views

    Sometimes tolerance is not a virtue; a deviation outside the specifications can be a matter of life and death, not just sub-optimum functioning.

    It’s been a week of tragedy, hasn’t it. Not on the scale of September 11, of course, but still - a tragedy. No one ever thought that the Columbia would crash.

    Is Official Or Formal Church Membership In A Local Church According To Scripture – Part 2 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 3, 2025
     | 103 views

    Formal church membership that involves special membership and voting rights is contentious. In this Part 2, I open up the matter to show how out of sync the matter is with the membership of the one Body of Christ, and the discrimination. We delve into some scriptures to bring this out.

    IS OFFICIAL OR FORMAL CHURCH MEMBERSHIP IN A LOCAL CHURCH ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURE – PART 2 In Part 1 we looked at the practice some churches have of there being an official local church membership that divides “members”, adherents and attendees into “MEMBERS” and “NON-MEMBERS” depending if one has ...read more

    Knowing too much can be called “The Joseph’s Son Syndrome.” It will cause you reject the help you need; overlook people you need and ignore the possibility of what could be.

    Sermon – When We Know Too Much! Luke 4:14-30 “Then Jesus returned to Galilee, filled with the Holy Spirit’s power. Reports about him spread quickly through the whole region. 15 He taught regularly in their synagogues and was praised by everyone. 16 When he came to the village of Nazareth, his ...read more

    Who is the church for? Believers or unbelievers? Or to use more contemporary terms - churched or unchurched. Listen today as Pastor Steve addresses who is the church in the midst of the seeker-sensitive movement.

    Recently I was invited to attend a church planters conference in Lake Yale. At that conference I was exposed to various teaching and methods for reaching the unchurched. As I sat there and listened and took notes, I couldn’t help to think how we have somehow missed it when it comes to the purpose ...read more
