    Contributed by Patrick Nix on Jul 9, 2010
    based on 8 ratings
     | 16,314 views

    Many of us have special uniforms (church clothes) that we don only on Sunday (church day), so we can go and attend worship (church service), giving God our tithes (church money). We have organized God out of life...

    That’s right – a Pastor is encouraging you to stop going to church; I really mean it! STOP! We’ve all become accustomed to simply going to church – as if church is a place. It’s not!

    A Great Church Is A Joyously Worshiping Church Series

    Contributed by Scott Spencer on Apr 6, 2016
     | 4,863 views

    Jesus did die, but He didn’t stay dead! So a church service should not be like a funeral. Someone suggested that it is a memorial service, not for the dead, but by the dead! Perhaps that explains it.

    A Tour through Acts ~ part 8 A Great Church is a Joyously Worshiping Church Acts 2:46-47a Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. (+ NIV) ...read more

    If all that is happening in any church could be reproduced by human hype or ability, why should that church exist? Are we a Live Church or is our pulse weakening?

    Live Churches vs. Dead Churches Acts 5:12-20 12 The apostles performed many miraculous signs and wonders among the people. And all the believers used to meet together in Solomon’s Colonnade. 13 No one else dared join them, even though they were highly regarded by the people. 14 Nevertheless, more ...read more

     | 5,350 views

    This is one of the two churches that Christ has no reproof for - other other being Smyrna. And it together with Smyrna are the only cities that still have a Christian church. The key is their perserverance. The catchword is " Be strong and faithful"

    The Dead Church (The Church Of Sardis)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jul 31, 2025
     | 252 views

    In this message I will be preaching about the church of Sardis which is known as the DEAD CHURCH. No one will admit they attend a dead church but all over this great nation of ours that is exactly what some people are doing.

     | 214 views

    The church of Philadelphia and Smyrna were two churches that the Lord Jesus did not have any words of condemnation for.

    Does this mean they were perfect? Absolutely not! For example, the Bible tells us that Job was perfect and upright man. Does that mean Job was perfect and sinless? No, the only perfect sinless man to walk on this earth was the Lord Jesus. Let me explain how the word PERFECT IS USED IN THE ...read more

     | 635 views

    Even in the face of persecution and life's challenges, how different could we live if we chose to be faithful only to Christ? Even though the 1st century church faced incredible difficulties, God was still faithful to them, and we can learn from that right now!
