    I’m convinced that when the 6 characteristics of the early church are put into practice, & are evident in our lives, then God will use us to build a great church that brings glory & honor to Him.

    A topical message. How we define church will determine what we cherish and what we are able to let go. The right definition will free us; the wrong definition will enslave us. Aimed at churches who exist to "keep the doors open."

    Introduction Do you remember this finger play? Here’s the Church, Here’s the steeple, Open the doors to see all the people In years gone by, this finger play was a tool that teachers used to teach children the importance of attending church? I certainly believe that it holds value for this ...read more

    In that passage from Ephesians chapter four that we heard, Paul begins by saying that he wants his Christian readers to live lives that are worthy of the calling they have received; lives which are ’worthy’ in the sense of being worth-while and of refelcting that calling- that their calling by God ...read more

    Many people are looking for the perfect church - yet they don’t have a clue where to find it. These three verses from Colossians give us a snapshot of the perfect church - and it might be the church your at.

    The Perfect Church Colossians 3:12-14 In my time in ministry, I have heard more than once the statement, “If you find the perfect church don’t join it because it will no longer be perfect.” I’m not sure, but I have a suspicion that something was being hinted at in that statement.

    We need to be convinced of the NEED to pray, understand the POWER of prayer, seize the OPPORTUNITY to pray and have FAITH in God when we pray.

    In the book of Acts, we see a common sight – the church at prayer. • Not a few disciples, but the whole community of believers praying together • This was a unique sight, because in the Gospel we hardly read of the disciples gathering to pray. • We saw Jesus praying alone, most of the time.
