    Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Apr 3, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 15,234 views

    Part 7f of this series of sermons addresses the function of leadership and overseeing the church as shown in the New Testament by various names - elders, pastors, bishops, overseers, presbyters, and shepherds.

    This 13-part series of classes has been many years in the making. About 25 years ago I began in earnest to examine the features, character and characteristics of the church as it existed in its earliest years. As I sometimes do, I kept my notes all along the way, and this series of classes is to a ...read more

    Contributed by Jan Oosthuizen on Aug 18, 2019
     | 3,436 views

    More and more people are leaving local institutional churches and pick and choose their spiritual diet on social media. Evangelism, and belonging to a local body of believers is on the increasing decline!

    When the smallest cell in the body is under attack, it brings the demise of the whole. For as long as I can remember, there has always been a tension between the local church pastor and the staff of parachurch organisations. Parachurch organisasions work outside and across denominations to ...read more

    Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on May 15, 2022
     | 3,640 views

    A careful and self-aware reading of Scripture demonstrates that God uses men and women equally in the body of Christ. He equips and empowers for His glory. We are better off if we don't resist His hand of grace.

    May 2022 Sermon - Women in the Church - Acts 2:16-21; Galatians 3:26-29 Today we are beginning a short series on an issue that is very close to my heart.

    Intro: (MI theme plays on video for a minute as I come up) Good morning, Mr. Phelps… That’s how the tape would always begin in the old MI shows. (I guess it was always in the morning.) Then, the voice on the tape would explain to Peter Graves the impossible mission he was being ...read more

  • Brought To Life; Brought Together

    Contributed by David Taylor on Aug 20, 2024
     | 451 views

    We are starting our series in Paul’s letter to Ephesians so turn to Ephesians 1:1-2. Today I want to introduce the author, the recipients, his prayer in writing, and then give a summary of the letter.

    The Author: The Source of His Authority (1a) The letter opens with Paul identifying himself as the author. In those days, the author did this at the beginning of letters rather than the end as we do. He writes as one with authority to instruct the church and this authority qualifies him to write. ...read more

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jan 26, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,002 views

    Christians are secure in Christ. Because this is true, it behooves us to know Him--really know Who He is. The message explores Paul's revelation of Jesus as very God in his letter to the congregation in Colossae.

    [1] “[Christ] is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, ...read more

  • Thanksgiving Day

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Nov 16, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,891 views

    The Apostle Paul did not write 365 thank-you notes. But he did write about one-half of the letters that make-up the New Testament. And Paul’s letters overflow with thanksgiving.

    Gratitude is an intentional way of thinking about receiving a benefit and giving credit to others beside oneself for that benefit. Practicing gratitude magnifies positive feelings more than it reduces negative feelings. To illustrate: John Kralik found his life at a terrible, frightening low ...read more

     | 9,643 views

    What do we think of Church? Are we the unified body that Paul discusses Christ had called it to be or are we caught up in what we define of as a "church"? We, as a body of believers, should be in this together to glorify God.
