    Based on a New Testament understanding of a church, and based on the ministry of the early apostles, we learn that believers did not always assemble in a public place of worship. Much of the time they met in one another’s homes.

    This morning I want to address the topic of “doing church.” and I’m going to begin by asking the question, “Where are Christians supposed to assemble together for worship and fellowship?” In Acts 17:24, Paul declared, “God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and ...read more

    Priscilla and Aquila are not unknown figures in the NT. They are heroes of the first century church. Their house church was not a substandard church, but a church that was everything that God intended in the New Testament church.

    Scripture Romans 16:5 Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Why am I talking about house churches? Because I think all believers should start churches that meet in homes. You may ask if I understand who are the people that I am talking to. We are nursing students and medical staff you ...read more

    Just what is it that makes a church authentic? The greatest challenge that we find as we try to follow Jesus is dedicating ourselves to the truth of the Scripture in a culture that tends to base their lives on their own opinions instead of on the truth of God's word.

    I don't think I need to tell any of you that our church is going through a new phase. We are about to enter into a new stage of growth for this church beginning in January. I have asked God what words can I bring to the church that would make this transition a lot easier so that we can remain ...read more
