     | 1,991 views

    What is Laziness? It is being unwilling to work or being idle. Here is where Paul admonishes the church against laziness.

    There were a few people falsely teaching the Thessalonian church that being as Christ was returning soon, people should stop working, lay aside any responsibilities, quit planning for the future, and just sit back and wait. Be that as it may, their absence of action just drove them into ...read more

     | 6,043 views

    The church is supposed to encourage one another until Jesus returns by getting together regularly. But instead of spurring one another one toward love and good deeds many people who have been involved with a church have only felt the spurs and not the love

    We are the Body of Christ - The Church What is the church and why does it matter? Is the church a human institution or a spiritual body made by God?

    Divisions are never good in the body of Christ. But when the divisions take place over a celebration of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, things get serious real fast. In this lesson, we learn about avoiding the things that separate us, and clinging to that

    Among the many problems of the Corinthian church was division. Earlier in the letter he talked about division around choosing one leader over another.

    The greatest danger facing the church today is an attack on the authority of the Word of God. When the church comes together in unity, the spirit of God is poured out in abundance.

    The greatest danger facing the church today is an attack on the authority of the Word of God. There has become a gentle coldness and indifference to biblical truth and God’s standards of righteousness.

    What do we mean when we pray "deliver us from evil"?

    People have always been divided about Jesus. I have known folks who are so “sold-out” to Jesus they drive everybody else crazy.

    The Relationship Of Believers To Believers Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Feb 29, 2012
     | 10,193 views

We saw that as God loves His Son Jesus Christ, so Christ loves us. Tonight Jesus talks about the relationship of believers to believers. How believers relate ...read more
