    This was a sermon i preached 4 years back when i began serving at a new place of service as pastor.

    1. We are called to be a confessing Church. V. 18, Jesus says it is “My Church” - My college BSU director would often correct our BSU President when he would say something about "My church"...he told him that it wasn’t "his church", it was Jesus’ church and He allowed him to serve there.

    May all women rise up within the leadership of the church and find their rightful place.

    WOMEN IN MINISTRY. WOMEN AS PASTORS. WOMEN LEADING IN THE CHURCH. THESE FEW STATEMENTS HAVE PROBABLY SPARKED MORE DEBATE AND HAVE CAUSED MORE DISSENTION AND TRAUMA WITHIN THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH THAN ANYTHING BEFORE.

     | 5,106 views

    The body of Christ loves to be entertained. If it doesn’t have a beat or doesn’t arouse our flesh, most of us don’t like it. We call it boring. Teenagers don’t know what to do with themselves when they go to church because they think it’s boring most of t

    By: Donna Kazenske I went to a church service at a particular church a short time ago and was totally amazed at what I heard and saw. I have been to many church services throughout the years that were very similar to this one, but for some reason God opened up my spiritual eyes to see in a way ...read more

    Corinth has been long noted as a church with problems… and one of those problems was disruptions, disruptions during worship.

    I read Warren Wiersbe exposition of this passage and some of the comments are from him and Richard Pratt, "Holman New Testament Commentary." I Cor. 11:1-16 "Church Order" He came shuffling in… the service had already begun… almost no one noticed him yet everyone noticed him. He smelled of B.O., ...read more

    jesus gives the keys for the churches survival in a hostile world

    Intro: the other night a report was given that about 3000 churches close annually in the United States.

    based on 5 ratings
     | 3,165 views

    A sermon encouraging our church to step out in faith and get off the edge. A message for a church that is sitting on the fence or a church that is ready to move into the direction God has called them.

    A church on the edge God’s relationship with us seems to be one of “edginess” of a risk taking journey- at least according to Scripture. it’s risky “to truly love” isn’t it? It’s risky to confess. It’s risky to forgive, it’s risky to truly care, it’s risky to surrender, confront, risky ...read more

    Why is it that people in Canada today are interested in God and spiritual things, but they aren’t going to church? It’s time to take a new look at the church, and go back to the Bible and make sure we’re doing church the way God intended!

    Paul uses a conflict in the church to teach us how to gain victory over trials by giving them to God. Joyfully remembering how God has relieved us of our trials in times past, we are to present our needs to God, and continually focus on things of God!
