    A final sermon on the series about the meaning of the church.

    THE CHURCH November 17, 2013 For the past 10 weeks, we’ve been talking about the church, and I thought I was finished with the series last week, but there’s one more to talk about today. So, I want to start with a simple question — “What is the Church?” It’s ...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

    Biblical Eldership: The Government Of God

    Contributed by Ed Warfield on Mar 4, 2008
    based on 7 ratings
     | 4,623 views

    A properly functioning eldership provides plurality in leadership, unity of purpose and a system of checks & balances. Biblical eldership is kingdom government & ultimately it’s about understanding & becoming the person God wants each of us to be.

    Biblical Eldership: The Government of God Intro.: It’s not always easy to be objective about the structure and government of the New Testament Church. We are influenced by the teaching we’ve had. So it’s often difficult to approach the subject with an open mind. But, we need to seriously examine ...read more

    The Body Of Christ – Part Ii Series

    Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Mar 11, 2016
     | 5,733 views

    There is only one body, but many members. We are all dependent on one another. It is not just the pastor’s job to care for the members of the body—that would be humanly impossible. Each member must function as he or she is called.

    We continue our study of His Church and begin by looking at 1 Corinthians 12. (1 Cor 12:13 NKJV) For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body; whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free; and have all been made to drink into one Spirit. 1 Cor 12:14 For in fact the body is not one ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,949 views

    Church unity is very high on God's agenda. According to God's word we have it! It is to be maintained not created. But how? And what does it look like?

    THE CHURCH AS GOD INTENDED - Unity in the Spirit Ephesians 4:1-16 INTRO Paul's letter to the Church at Ephesus is a fantastic read. We have already spent some time in it during the month of January this year in which we gave some thought to the astonishing implications of what it means to be ...read more

    Care For One Another Series

    based on 65 ratings
     | 23,870 views

    In order for the church to function as it was designed, each of us must be committed to care for one another. We’re in this together so we might as well learn to like each other

    Care for One Another Did you make any New Year’s Resolutions this year? If so, how many have you broken? One of the best ways to keep a resolution is to set some low standards. People magazine reported last year about the goals of some members of the Hollywood crowd. Singer Michelle Branch ...read more

    Five Essentials Of Being An Effective Member In The Body Of Christ

    Membership in a local church isn't about having your name on the membership rolls, but about being an active participant as a part of the body of believers. Each member of the body must function effectively within the body for God to use us as He would.

    Five Essentials of Being an Effective Member in the Body of Christ Ephesians 4: 7-16 Membership in a local church isn't about having your name on the membership rolls, but about being an active participant as a part of the body of believers.

    This 13-part series of classes has been many years in the making.

     | 2,096 views

    As we reflect on the truth that we are many parts of one body, may we embrace our uniqueness, celebrate our diversity, and commit to loving and supporting one another. Together, as the body of Christ, we can accomplish remarkable things for His glory.

    One Body, Many Parts Introduction: Begin with a warm greeting to the congregation and introduce the key verse: Romans 12:4-5 (NLT) - "Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, so it is with Christ's body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to ...read more

     | 21,041 views

    Whatever the spiritual realm is, it bestows on people a range of accomplishment abilities that go beyond mere skill or knack. A gift of the Spirit is something that God gives for the purpose of building up others in a life of faith.

    Opening illustration: Living Unaware of Our Vast Fortune Come with me into West Texas during the Depression. Mr. Ira Yates was like many other ranchers and farmers.

    The Church’s Context Series

    Contributed by C. Philip Green on Dec 23, 2010
     | 7,708 views

    When times are tough, pray in faith, because you are fogiven. Persevere with hope, because God is faithful. And provoke one another to love, because Jesus is coming. These core values of faith, hope, and love will keep the church on track.

    Not too long ago, a real estate listing in Dallas had the simple headline: “Converted Church.” In other words, what had once been a church facility is now somebody’s house. The listing under the heading had this description: “The altar has been adapted for use as a granite and stainless steel ...read more
