    Like you, I’ve been watching the terrible scandal surrounding the abuse of children by priests in the Roman Catholic church. And the worst part of the scandal isn’t the abuse of children, as horrible as that is. The worst part has the cover up, that rather than stepping in and removing sexual ...read more

    Ninth in a series from Ephesians. The church should matter to us because it matters to God.

    This week I came across an interesting quote that was recently posted on an internet blog by a lady who identified herself as “Eva”. Here it is, exactly as she wrote it: You are so right about the church today. We are a catholic family, but I can’t even remember the last time we went to church. My ...read more

    We hear a lot in October about "Pastor Appreciation Month". This is a sermon that expresses love and appreciation from the pastor to the church.

    (This sermon contains much information that is specific to my congregation. I shared it because there seems to be very few resources on this subject. And there may be some pastor out there who is looking for a way to show his love, gratitude and appreciation to his flock. It is my prayer that you ...read more

     | 5,788 views

    The work in Christ’s church will not get done in a hurry. We don’t even have a target date for completion. But this is what makes the difference for our church building: It’s the work of our Lord! It’s the church that Christ bought with his precious blood.

    Are you a church builder? Do you see it as your responsibility to serve the church of Christ? To strengthen it, and to grow it? You should, because that’s the calling given to you by the Lord God! Sometimes we like to leave church-building work to the experts. We leave the physical aspects of the ...read more

    The gospel has a powerful impact on those who are receptive. Believers are to joyfully share their faith with others – before it’s too late.

    Marks of a Healthy Church After the sermon last week, someone came up to me and asked me a question: “If First Thessalonians is one of the shortest and easiest books to understand, why are you taking 14 weeks to preach through it?” I told him that he should be glad I’m not preaching through the ...read more

    Is the Bible still being laid as the foundation-word for the church, or is something else supplanting it? Individual messages addressing this critical question.

    1. Of Christian Foundations Has the foundation for the Christian faith been laid once for all, or do we look for new foundations to be poured in every generation?

    can a church that was once so full of life become a white-washed tomb full of dead men’s bones and rotting corpses? That, my fellow investigators, is our job this morning as “Christian Soul Investigators.” Get it? “CSI”
