    Church is a foreign, strange enviroment to seekers. How can we develop into a place of welcome as the church? What habits can we adopt that will make us the place of welcome that God wants us to be?

    I owe thanks to Pastor wes Richard for the basic outline of this sermon. As well, Steven Covey, who was Wes’ inspiration, served as a starting point for me as well. ______________________________________ Sermon for CATM January 9, 2005 - The Welcoming Church - Romans 15:1-7 A few days ...read more

    How to spot and deal with troublemakers in the Church

    (Acts 20:17-30) "shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock." It was not unintentional that God chose to use the illustration of Shepherd, Sheep, and wolves, to speak of the church. It is in fact a very accurate portrayal of life in the church.

    The early church was a united church. They would exhibit a level of unity and oneness that will forever be an example and challenge to churches everywhere.

    The Church Mission

     | 1,767 views

    The church is failing in its mission to preach and teach the Gospel to every nation, people, and tongue as Jesus commanded, because we are busy preaching feel-good prosperity-based messages.

    And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; ...read more

    Maybe You Need To Grow Up

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Apr 22, 2014
     | 6,238 views

    The end of the world is coming. Even if the end doesn't come in our lifetime, everyone dies at some point. This fact serves as a constant and urgent reminder that our goal as followers of Jesus is to go to heaven and we want to take as many others with us as we can.

    As a church we talk a lot about spiritual growth. This is our mission statement "we exist to increase and mature God's people." This process of increasing and maturing is called Discipleship. It's a big Bible Word but it has a simple meaning. A disciple of Jesus is a follower or even more ...read more

    Jesus lovingly exposes our self-sufficiency, invites us to deeper dependence on Him, and offers restoration, hope, and true riches for our lukewarm hearts.

    Some of us walked in today with a smile for the foyer and a sigh for the soul. Bills on the counter, deadlines on the calendar, questions on the heart. And yet, here we are, gathering around a Letter from Jesus to an ancient church in a city called Laodicea—a church with polished doors and tepid ...read more

     | 5,234 views

    Our identity will determine our activity. We the body of Christ find who we are in Him. If we identify with Christ we live by faith that matures into love.

    Intro: Last week as we began studying Paul’s letter labeled Ephesians we began to learn about our identity. Remember that I said that our identity is important because it determines our activity. What we will see this morning is God’s power in us. Paul got extremely excited in the first 14 ...read more

    The Laodicean Church had become complacent & apatetic about the cause of Christ because its members were involved in the worldly activities of the affluent society in which they lived. Jesus tells them that He would not accept their luke-warm attitude.

    Revelation 3: 14-22 THE COMPLACENT CHURCH [Matthew 2:19-34] The letters to the seven churches are God’s X-rays, given so that we might examine our own lives and ministries. Judgment is going to come to this world, but it first begins at the ...read more
