    Be The Church Series

    Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Sep 28, 2020
    based on 2 ratings
     | 15,979 views

    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

    The Body Of Christ – Part Ii Series

    Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Mar 11, 2016
     | 6,062 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

    Biblical Eldership: The Government Of God

    Contributed by Ed Warfield on Mar 4, 2008
    based on 7 ratings
     | 4,949 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

    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

    based on 65 ratings
     | 24,684 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.

    A Sermon for a Church who have just recieved a new priest (not me) - that the secret of growth won't be him - it will be them.

    Who here would like St Jo’s to grow? [presume lots of hands go up] So [go round asking people] what would it be like if St Jo’s grew significantly? [take a reasonable number of answers to unpack the question – before returning to the sanctuary] Jesus stands in the middle of the crowd and says ...read more

    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.

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

     | 8,817 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.

    Let The Church Be The Church

    Contributed by Chris Cuthbertson on Jun 6, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 6,002 views

    God wants His church to grow and He commissioned us to evangelize, and if the church is doing its job it should grow, but numerical growth in itself is not evidence that God is blessing. It’s important to remember that the goal is to try to restore the church of the 1st century in its principles.

    Let the Church Be the Church Acts 2: 36 – 47 A newspaper reporter was doing a story on growing churches, and in preparation for that story he interviewed a number of preachers. I want to share the questions asked of these preachers and then give you my answers to them. One of the questions he ...read more
